Hello All could someone please let me know how I can source t3 as my t4, T3 and tsh are at the desired levels but still feel terrible - I’m gluten and dairy free but still experiencing lots of pain and uncomfort - please contact me in private mail thank you

Is it possible you can post your results with the ranges as members can respond.

There is no history in your Profile, other than your name. It is useful if the Profile is completed as it gives us an idea of your thyroid background/history.

Hello I’ve posted results and background previously - tpo 222 <34; tsh o.28 0.35 - 4.94; t4 15.3 9.01 - 19.05; vit d 107 80 - 150; b12 1097 187 - 883; folate 12.3 3.1 - 20.5; t3 in July 17 5.25 3.1 - 6.9. I’m currently on 125 mcg thyroxin on its own - I’m gluten dairy soy free I supplement selenium zinc b complex magnesium vit c omega 3 but feel like s***! I have rt3 of 32 10 - 24 so went down from 150 mcg to 125 mcg. My hands and feet feel extremely cold (not all the time but the cold seems to be a real trigger) even though not necessarily cold to touch, I have tingling all over my head which makes me want to tense up and scream out; the coldness goes all through my body especially in my stomach and have aches and pains in my lower back. My toes ache and shorting pains so much it’s like someone has them in a vice and it goes all through my body. I can’t stop crying at the moment and I seeem to be in a vicious cycle - can’t stop thinking about my poor health it’s consumed me...I’ve been to endo he thinks it’s RA but the tests I’ve had suggest otherwise. Any help guidance appreciated!

I may have missed it but what is your FT3 result?

Edit - found it, but no iron test?

Did you get my response? Thanks

Looking at all your results they nearly all look good, but obviously something is amiss. I hope someone more experienced can chip in.

Thanks - I wonder if it’s anxiety related which has resulted in depression -

Sorry I couldn't help. Have you looked at adrenals?
