Hello all
Thanks for your help on my previous post:
healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
So it doesn't get lost I've started a new question, as hurray I've been given a prescription for T3... only thing is (as we suspected) he advises reduction in T4 to 100mcg (when I get the T3) and introducing 5mcg T3, 3 x a day, 8 hours apart.
Retesting in 4 weeks time.
I have read multiple times on here that introducing t3 in such a high amount might not be a good idea but how do I approach this, whilst also doing a good test of whether this suits me and a blood test in 4 weeks. I could potentially push the blood test out slightly longer. I did ask about not reducing the T4 but he said we can always increase it again.
He is also going to test calcium because I said I get pins and needles, send me to an ENT because of trouble swallowing and get a coeliac and another antibody test (i think for pernicious anaemia) because of high likelihood of other autoimmune conditions when you already have one.
any and all advice welcome! thanks for reading
