Has anyone started to take this product and noticed any side effects that don't normally get?
I started adding some to my Thybon Henning this past week, to allow for a tiny 2.5mcg dose, and I've been feeling really rather unwell all week. I don't know that this is the case, just wondered if anyone else doesn't get on with it.
Symptoms are bloating, nausea, headache, blurry eyes, feeling a bit wobbly and fatigue. I've been putting it down to having my Covid Booster last Sunday and only just having got over a chest infection requiring antibiotics. But I hadn't thought about the T3.

FancyPants54, I take Sigma Pharma T3, 15 mcgm per day alongside 100 mcgm per day of Actavis/Almus levo. I have to be very careful with fillers in Thyroid meds, especially acacia powder in Teva and other thyroid meds. I have taken SP for the last 3 years at least and at first it came from US but I believe it is now made in UK. @helvella has a very useful document about the different thyroid meds and the fillers in them. I had been taking Thybon before SP and was fine with that.
I will also say that I have reacted to every one of my 4 Covid jabs: AZ x2, I had very bad vertigo, Pfizer, can't remember! and just recently the Moderna Spikevax, I thought I had gone down with flu, aches and pains all over, shivering, pounding headache that lasted 48 hours and then slowly went away. Interestingly, I didn't react to the flu vaccine last week.
There certainly are two SigmaPharm products - though I have not checked every ingredient!
helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines
I have created, and try to maintain, a document containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world. It is sectioned by UK - rest of the world, and by T4, T3, desiccated thyroid, etc.
And do keep up to date. I edit it frequently- sometimes trivially, sometimes extensively. If your copy is more than a few weeks old, please download it again. (You must download - not just view in a browser- for the Table of Contents to work.)
This has probably been a reaction to the vaccine booster then. I'm only using 5mc of SP a day anyway. I felt a little better yesterday, but still had moments of feeling off and odd again. Same this morning. I'm thinking I probably had it too close to having the chest infection and cold. Don't know how long to leave for my flu vaccine now.
I'm thinking it must be. I took careful note yesterday and felt a bit sick a little while after taking my first 2.5mcg SP at 2pm. That feeling of sickness and bloating then just stuck with me until evening when it had faded a bit. I took my second 2.5mcg of SP at 8pm and didn't feel sick after that.
It's been a week and a day though since the booster. I think I perhaps had it too close to my chest infection and cold.
FancyPants54, due to my food intolerances and issues with jabs I always leave at least 3 weeks between jabs. It was 4 weeks between my Covid and flu jabs. No way would I have the 2 together. I was offered a shingles jab after the flu jab. I said no thanks, but I will go back after 3-4 weeks for it. Do hope you improve, but don't expect it to be quickly.
