Hi, please can someone DM me some online pharmacies in Europe who sell T3 (need to get it shipped to Portugal).
So I'm a 33 year old guy and was diagnosed at 18 with hashimotos. Since around 15 I have had problems with depression and tiredness, bad memory, brain fog, and allergic rhinitis (mentioning this because I read there is a link with hypothyroidism). Most recently it seems I also have developed a problem with gluten too.
I actually went on armour thyroid for a bit when I was about 20 for about a year after researching a lot and seeing a Dr Peatfield in the uk. I actually felt a bit better but not totally and so concluded that it didn't work and went back to thyroxine which I'm not thinking could have been a huge mistake. I just figured that maybe I'm just depressed and over the next 10 years tried 6 different antidepressants.
Recently I had several days where I felt fantastic over the last few months randomly and then went back to being tied and frosted. And I realised after several of these days that I forgot to take my thyroxine, which made me think my problems are too do with my thyroid.
My last labs I don't have to hand right now (I'm on holiday right now), but from memory T4 and T3 were pretty much in the middle of the range but I can't remember if it was free or total values. And TSH was about 1.5. antibodies weren't done, but I can get a full thyroid panel done again.
I had a load of labs done at several times over the years, most recently in January, and all normal.
Even though my labs are good, I still want to try T3 because of the benefit I felt when I skip a dose. Ive tried optimising labs with thyroxine over the years but never felt as good as those days where I skipped my dose.
I have a theory to why thyroxine is making me (and others) feel bad even though labs are normal which I've put in a separate post: healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
I've been on levothyroxine for 15 years sure to hashimotos. Ive had a lot of problems with tiredness and mood, and had many blood tests over the years which showed nothing wrong.
Thanks
