t3 recommendation

Hi everyone,

I’d appreciate any recommended sources of t3 by private message only please.

I’m hypothyroid, 125micrograms levo and another 25 micrograms every other day.

results from this month taken 7:30am no food are:

TSH 1.29 (9.27-4.2)

FT4 20.2 (12-22)

FT3 3.94 (3.1-6.8)

Thyroglobulin antibodies 273

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies 240

B12 71.7 (37.5-150)

Vitamin D 83 (50-200)

Folate sample error

Been supplementing vit d and folate for months and eating pate/ black pudding weekly.

Symptoms getting worse; fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, speech problems.

Every dose increase of levo improved then gradually went back to symptoms. I’m at right dose for weight (can’t remember the calculation but have checked).

Been round the houses with NHS who don’t think it’s related to thyroid; long covid clinic, neurologist, endocrinologist, all the scans and blood tests for anything else it might be negative. Now signed off all services back to gp care with “nothing we can do, would you like a referral to mental health to help cope with that?”.

Endocrinologist following guidelines of not under lower range of for t3 and everything in range. Offered second opinion but the nearest trust that do have a history of prescribing are too far.

I’m really struggling to work now and am at the end of what I think I can do. Would like to trial t3 in 5micrograms or 25 cut into 4 pieces.

Maybe they’re right and it is long covid - I don’t think so- but since there is absolutely no treatment available for that t3 is my last hope.

Thank you for reading

Dandelade

If anyone can help Dandelade with a recommendation of a good, reliable supplier, please reply by private message as requested. I will turn off replies so that no information is posted here.

Dandelade Once you have some recommendations you are welcome to send me a PM to see if I have any feedback on them. Admin can't recommend sources of supply but if we have received any feedback we can pass this on. There are some known unscrupulous suppliers who are happy to take your money but not send the tablets so it's wise to be cautious.
