Bloods taken when taking T3 meds🤔

[birkie]

Hi everyone 💗

Well I'm having a really bad time being diagnosed with primary hyperparathiyroidism, waiting to see endo team at Hexham, I picked up my next T3 ( lactose free) prescription and having a bad reaction to it😭.. I had been off it for 5 days but got bother and went back on it but again got a bad reaction mainly in my stomach and bowles, with an awful after taste, like a combination between metallic, blood and sucking a dirty penny, copper taste🤮.. Never had this before on these meds... Anyway I've been scratching my head as to why this is happening maby a bad batch🤷‍♀️.. I've noticed that I've lost some other symptoms while being off the T3.. Mainly sweating, tremors, shaking, jittery feeling, palpitations, bad headaches, I've looked through my blood results my last one done at the end of March look fine.. T3.. 5.9...TSH..0.80)..but I looked at bloods done in the beginning of march for calcium and pth, they sneaked in a thyroid test I'd taken my T3 meds that day, the results were T3... 19.3....TSH..0.02)...no T4... This is considered to be over medicated, but I'm beginning to think if my 2 doses of t3.. ( 10MG...8AM...10MG 1PM) made my T3 go to 19.3 and my TSH 0.02 am I not over medicating.. 🤷‍♀️.. As I've said I've been diagnosed with primary hyperparathiyroidism) but because my thyroid bloods came bk in range I put the hyper symptoms firmly in the primary hyperparathiyroidism camp (you can have the same symptoms cross over, sweating, palpitations, jittery feeling ect with phpt) as it didn't look like I was over medicated, but after coming off the T3 some of these symptoms have either gone or subsided, we all on here know we need to stop our T3 /T4 meds before our thyroid blood test... Can I ask why this is?.. Apart from the bowle/stomach symptoms I've had with this particular batch of t3( maby bad batch) how can I stop the hyper symptoms when on the t3🤷‍♀️ could I be hypersensitivity to it.. Apart from my primary hyperparathiyroidism symptoms which are still with me, my hyper symptoms have decrease, can anyone on here help me with this... Firstly this is the first time I've come off these meds since starting them about 12 months ago.. This is how I've noticed the hyper symptoms have decrease 🤷‍♀️

Thanks 💗

birkie,

Sorry you haven’t received a timely response re your hyperparathyroidism queries but my answering will move this post back to the Daily Feed for members to re-view. Otherwise, you are welcome to repost.

Re TFT's, the majority of the forum members have hypothyroidism & so the suggestion for how TFT’s are conducted is offered to achieve a thyroid hormone average level in circulating blood (as opposed to a peak which GP might interpret as hyper) and a TSH at its highest during its own circadian rhythm (to offer best chance of a hypo diagnosis to those who need it).
