Many thanks

Looking at previous posts you only stopped smoking a month ago
You need to retest thyroid levels more frequently for 2 years after quitting
Testing 6-10 weeks after any major change, like stopping smoking
How much NDT are you taking
I just wondered what is thyroid resistance as I had conversation with one of the members here and she said she had it .can you please explain so I know ?
Yes I stopped 2.5 months ago smoking and will have a full thyroid panel on 6th of September .
It’s a rare condition

Similarly, serum ferritin levels increased in all 12 hypothyroid patients with Hashimoto's disease when euthyroidism was achieved with L-T4 therapy. Administration of 75 micrograms T3 daily for 1 week to 11 euthyroid subjects resulted in a 23-243% (mean +/- SD, 117 +/- 70%) increase in serum ferritin above basal values. In contrast, in 3 patients with thyroid hormone resistance, the same treatment produced rises in serum ferritin concentrations of only 2%, 5%, and 15%. Our data suggest that alterations in thyroid status in a given individual produce changes in serum ferritin levels. Measurement of this protein before and after T3 therapy may prove useful in the diagnosis of thyroid hormone resistance.
Can I test for it and which labs does it do? I have DIO2 where is one gene faulty not sure if this is something to do with resistance ! My labs are ok on top of ranges being on NDt but I still don’t feel well for years and recently gone worse despite taking all supplements. Should I perhaps have a look at methylation issues ? Where this can be tested ?
You can test MTHFR here
Or upload other DNA tests if have them (eg Ancestry)
