Hi
I'm Helen from Australia and have run out of the T3 supply I had found. I'm hoping someone can help me and direct message me with info.
I was identified with Hypothyroidism 11 years ago and am currently taking Natural Thyroid Extract. My GP prescribes this for me but not T3. I was on Generic Thyroxine (T4) only for years and never ever did well, I just got sicker and sicker, and ended up with extremely high RT3 levels . My GP then switched me to NDT which did help but my levels have always been on the lower side. I'm on 80mcg (slow release) twice daily.
A year ago, I added some T3 to my NDT and felt well for the first time in years.
TSH was supressed at 0.03 (Range 0.04 - 4)
FT4 13 (Range 10-20)
FT3 5.4 (Range 3.5 - 6.5)
Unfortunately I ran out of the T3 that I had purchased a good few months ago and have been feeling unwell again with all the usual fibro pain and hypo symptoms. My levels are as follows.
TSH 1.77 (Range 0.4 -4)
FT4 11 (Range 10-20)
FT3 4.4 (Range 3.5 -6.5)
Thank you for reading
Stay safe
