T3

Could anyone please message me with information on how to buy T3 from a reliable source. I am at the end of my tether with my doctor, I think I'm not converting properly but they just look at my T4 and TSH and say I'm fine. In fact they're more worried about causing heart damage by having a suppressed TSH than they are by my high cholesterol, breathing problems and chest pains! You can read my story in my profile, below are my most recent results.

T4 - 19 (10-25)

TSH - 1.05 (0.55-4.78)

T3 - 5 (4-7)

B12 - 350 (180-1000) prescribed cyanocobalamin

Folate - 14.6 (2-20)

Ferritin - 56.4 (10-300) prescribed Sytron

Vit D - haven't written this one down but it was right at the top of the range although info supplement during the winter.

2 years ago my T4 was 17 (10-25) and T3 was 3.7 (3.1-6.8) and I've had my dose increased by 100mcg since then.

I see that no-one responded on the forum yesterday and I hope someone sent you a private message re where to source T3.

Just in case I will close your post so that no information is posted on the open forum and you've had a private message.

Not what you're looking for?
