Starting T3

[tjkj69]

Hello everyone.

After 18 years with hashi feeling tired and not able to lose weight I've decided to try T3. I have got some from turkey. Can anyone advice me how to introduce it to my daily medication. I currently take 125mcg of thyroxine each day. Thank you.

tjkj69 You'll need to post your latest results to include FT4 and FT3. Depending on your FT4 level you may need to reduce Levo when introducing T3, and your FT3 level will give an indication of whether just a small amount of T3 is needed or whether you may need to increase it gradually.

Hi tjkj, what are you attempting to do? Combine them or quit one for the other.

I was very satisfied to try T3 only. Here are tips from STTM stopthethyroidmadness.com/t...

Remember the Levo will be in your system for many weeks even after stopping it.

Hi Heloise

I'm hoping to combine t4 and t3.

Thank you for your tips.

What are you vitamin levels and are you gluten free?

With Hashimoto's getting vitamins to good levels is essential
