Hello all 🤗
Have been on T3 for 3 weeks , prescribed by my doctor, and am up to 12.5mcg daily.
Apart from a sort of jittery feeling on some days, I haven’t really noticed any benefit.
I know everyone is different, but can anyone tell me how long it might take for me to feel it helping as I still have no energy increase.
And how long should I be taking it before I retest my levels?
Many thanks x

You should retest 6 weeks after a change in dose (I have found that I need 8 weeks to feel the full benefit and for my results to stabilise).
Everyone is different. When I started adding T3 to my Levo I didn't feel anything at all, I increased gradually, tweaked both Levo and T3 for quite a while and eventually realised that I was feeling better than I did. It showed in my results before I felt it really. I never had a moment of "Wow! I can really feel the difference T3 has made" like some people do.
Susie thank you 🙏. You’ve made me feel SO much better. I have been waiting for that ‘lightbulb ‘ moment that people talk about and was wondering why I hadn’t had that feeling yet.
I am more than happy to wait and sit it out and maybe, like you say, gradually realise I suddenly feel better.
Susie, you and the team, are real heroines on a daily basis, for the way you all devote your time and energies to all of us.
Forever grateful, xx
You are welcome, and you are very kind
Just checking - your vitamins and minerals are optimal aren't they? You probably know that is needed to help thyroid hormone to work properly.
Yes, all optimal. I’ve been taking everything that was kindly recommended to me, for months now , but never felt any real improvement , but take them all daily, without fail.
