Hi everyone β€οΈ
I posted a few days ago about my gp stopping my T3 until I see endo, good news π just got the email whilst doing this postπ prescription is activated again, it's in my chemist πππ
But I can tell you it's been 2 days of hell, trying to sort itπ π
So in the meantime can I ask members for some advice π endo appointment Dec 27th..this endo is usless I've seen her before, π€¦ββοΈand I'm dreading seeing her again.. But i am at present under a thyroid /parathyroid surgeon in Liverpool who's dealing with my primary hyperparathyroidism.
She also did thyroid blood work after I showed her what this drug is doing to me (π© photos).
She rang me back with the thyroid results :
TSH... 0.05
T3....11.4
She noted I looked over medicated, but I explained that I'd taken my T3 medication that day... Ha... OK she said.... What time did you take it?
5am..normally I'd take it at 8am but I was travelling to Liverpool to see yourself so had to take it earlier.
SURGEON... OK... So... 5am ingestion of T3.. What amount did you take.. 10mg.. OK let's break this down.
You took 10mg at 5am....we did blood work at 11.30...some 6 and a half hours after ingesting 10mg and your T3 was (11.4)...your TSH was (0.05).
"I would not have expected to see a level that high of T3 after 6 and a half hours" .
"When would you take your next dose?
I would take it at around 12.30.
"So even at 11.30 you had a T3 of 11.4...then your going to take another 10mg at 12.30pm).. Yes!!
She then went on to explain a few things she would like me to mention to this endo.. The above being one, she went on to say..." I feel something is going on with yourself and this medication.
1, you could be pooling the T3 in your blood stream, by that I mean the medication is not getting to where it needs to go giving a high reading of T3.
2, you could be hypersensitive to the drug.
3, you are probably having bad absorbtion /malabsorbtion issues , because of your colitis /lactose intolorent.
Now I feel this surgeon gave me some good pointers to take along to this appointment, but I certainly have no faith this endo will have the faintest idea about any of itπ€·ββοΈ
Personally I'm struggling to understand the T3 reading of 11.4 some 6 and a half hours after ingesting 10mg.
When ingesting the T3 what happens?
Do you have a peek in T3?....then it slowly decreases? Why would I still have such a high T3 in my blood after 6 and a half hours?
I appreciate any advice from members on this, the stomach and bowle issue will speak for it's self when I push the π© photos under her nose.. (ho for smelly vision π).
Thanks for anyone brave enough to read this... π
