Hashimito looking for t3 online or europe

[Pookue1uk]

Hi I am looking for somewhere I can buy t3 as gp unable to prescribe and I have low ft3. So aim to include 6.25ug of t3 to the t4 I'm currently on. Hope you can help

Again, you've just joined the forum and there are no details in your profile so it would be irresponsible for members to share sources. T3 is not a wonder drug and it does not work for everyone.

Do you have any recent blood test results to share?

For full evaluation you ideally need TSH, FT4, FT3, TT4, TPO and TG antibodies, plus vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested

Essential to get vitamins optimal before considering adding T3

Also if you have high thyroid antibodies this is Hashimoto's also called autoimmune thyroid disease. Many of us find gluten free diet is essential before T3 as well

See if you can get full thyroid and vitamin testing from GP. Unlikely to get FT3

Private tests are available

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have money off offers.

All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning and fasting and don't take Levo in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take straight after. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results

I've had hashimito for 17 years vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 I do not absorbe any of these and have to take daily supplements of vit d, folate and ferrous fumarate and b12 injection every 8 weeks
