Anyone had T3 or NDT from Dr Toft?

[Murphysmum]

I asked about T3 previously and he said I didn’t need it.

Previous comments on this site have suggested I might benefit. I am about to have more bloods done but I have now been on 200mcg levo since September and whilst I felt better for a few months, my symptoms are returning and I never did clear the muscle weakness or brain fog.

Oh how I want to feel normal again!

I just wondered if he had recommended it for anyone and what your results/symptoms/bloods were to justify it.

TIA

Hmm. That is not good news, as I thought he was on our side regarding T3. Could you please post the blood tests from which he made the conclusion that you do not need it.

[Murphysmum in reply to Hennerton]

I’m not saying he definitely won’t prescribe it.. I’m only quoting his conversation with me last visit.

I’m not sure how to copy in my post containing my last bloods.... pre dose increase we’re in late August I think 🤔

Do you mean the ones you posted 3 months ago here healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

You could just add the photo into the first post of this thread like you did with that one, or type them in or just link to that post like I did (copy/paste the url of that page).

Thanks susie!

He suggested at recent talk in London that it was always worth trying just increasing the Levo dose first, before trying adding T3

Have you got results from on 200mcg

What about vitamin levels too

[Murphysmum in reply to SlowDragon]

Well I think this is what he may have in mind... or at least I’m hoping so!

As you probably know I’ve been on here quite a few times before. I have been working to increase my vits for the last year so hoping the new bloods (medichecks thyroid ultravit) will look quite good in that respect. Dr T increased my levo to 200mcg in sept and I felt quite well (as I said apart from the muscle weakness) until just before Xmas. Since then many of the odd symptoms have returned and are remaining.

I can’t help thinking that some T3 would help, given the nature of the long standing symptoms, so I’m hoping that his plan is to try an increase before adding in some T3.

Fingers crossed.

Hoping to have up to date bloods shortly but my surgery are being awkward about doing a private test where they’ve had no issue in the past. Amazes me how many obstacles are thrown in the way of someone trying to improve their own health.
