After palpitations, racing heart etc - results!

Well that explains (quite) a lot.

But, I would welcome comments as to why img T3 has dropped so low - I haven’t changed anything except brand. My last few bloods have been around 6.5, 6.8, 6.4... so why the drop? Sureyl a different brand can’t be that far out?

Secondly my antibodies are higher than they have been for a long time. It’s been 18 months since I actually tested them but they were a bit lower then. Does an increase in antibodies correlate with feeling rubbish? I realise they are always high due to hashis but if they fluctuate do we feel it?

Thirdly I’m still feeling a bit rubbish. Sore head, slightly sore sinuses and behind one eye, though the blurred vision in that eye has gone. I’ve got a sore back too and just feel a bit bleugh though I’m still active enough. Maybe just a virus (scary to use that word now!)

Thanks in advance as always you knowledgable lot ☺️

Are you gluten free?

What about adding 25mcg levothyroxine?

Can you get previous brand of T3

So, not GF but tried it and didn’t find a difference.

I’m not adding levo - I’ve basically spent the last 9 months or longer trying to add it/increase it on and off and it just seems to make everything worse. It’s like it immediately blocks up my system . I can’t explain it better than that but suffice to say I’ve felt nothing but benefits in dropping it!

And yes, I’ve now got the original brand I was on so hopefully it’ll help things. But is that the reason for the drop?

Guessing so....proof will be shown in 6-8 weeks when you retest

How long have you been on different brand?
