I have been coming off my T3 for a couple of weeks to get a base line thyroid measurement again and to start again my thyroid journey. I have found coming off very easy and think the the gastro problems I have been having, and have chatted about on here, may well be connected with taking the T3 as I have gone from chronic diarrhoea to constipation as I have come off! It may of course be connected to other supplements I have been taking but we shall see how things go.
What I need to know is now I am off the T3 how long do I have to wait before getting my bloods taken again? I have a feeling T3 leaves the system very quickly? I am not on any T4. Will I still be stabilising?
Thank you in advance

Really? That is a long time to wait. My TSH is very very surpressed at the moment so it may take a while to come up then. Does that mean we I can't tell how I would feel without the T3 until around then? I may not last that long without the T3 if constipation continues like this - from one swing to the other!!
I really wanted to check that I needed thyroid hormones any more. Liquid Lev is full of sucrose etc that my body won't tolerate and the brands of the other were Teva - Avant - Wockhardt They made all my symptoms loads worse and I couldn't function in my brain
Hi SlowDragon - I have spent a while trying to upload my details. Just trying to sort out the mess I find myself in - Maybe I shouldn't be on thyroid meds at all - It's just that I feel warmer on them and my bowels work better. i don't have other hormones to help me and cannot tolerate many things. Any case - take a look and see what you think.
