I’m T3 only no thyroid

T3 3.01 range (3.1-6.8)

TSH < 0.01 range

I just don’t know what’s going on

I’m getting fat although I’m doing Keto

& (could kill for a slice of Toast)

I’m bloated which is uncomfortable

Not sleeping

Hot Flushes ( not Menopause)

Any pointers Guys much appreciated

Well, you're under-medicated. How much T3 are you taking?

[T3MARY in reply to greygoose]

Hi grey goose I’m taking 3 X20 mcg I’ve put on 2 stones , memory is shot away I’m so down

GP offered Prozac

[greygoose in reply to T3MARY]

Tell him to take it himself! Bet he wouldn't!

But, that is incredible that you are taking 60 mcg T3 and your FT3 is still under-range.

Do you always take it on an empty stomach, leaving at least one hour before eating or drinking anything other than water? Do you take any other medication or supplements at the same time?

[T3MARY in reply to greygoose]

I Take 1 T3 morning 1 T3 afternoon 1 T3 6pm always no food 30 min before or after

Adrenal supplement

[greygoose in reply to T3MARY]

Well, obviously, 30 mins isn't long enough, because you just aren't absorbing the T3. We normally advise two hours after food and one hour before food on here.

When do you take the adrenal supplement?

Thank You Greygoose Oh ! Way to go I will start that tomorrow thank you that’s interesting x

Of you’re putting weight on it’s unlikely to be low cortisol as that causes weight loss (I have AI)

Have you had your B12 tested? That can cause weight gain and the symptoms you’re getting too?

Isn’t that correct GG?
