Current situation is very tricky unless you have a private prescription for T3

Before starting any T3 it's essential to test both thyroid and vitamin levels

See from previous posts you have Hashimoto's and on high dose Levothyroxine

Low vitamins are extremely common and need testing and improving FIRST

Are you on strictly gluten free diet?

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4, FT3 plus TPO and TG thyroid antibodies and also very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Private tests are available. Thousands on here forced to do this as NHS often refuses to test FT3 or antibodies or vitamins

thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

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 ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. When on Levothyroxine, take last dose 24 hours prior to test, and take next dose straight after test. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, GP will be unaware)

Email Thyroid UK for list of recommended thyroid specialists, some are T3 friendly

please email Dionne

Before seeing any thyroid specialist ALWAYS get full testing first

Come back with new post once you have results and ranges on Thyroid and vitamin levels
