Has anyone felt worse when first adding T3?
Hello All, I've recently added 5mcg T3. 6 weeks later I felt awful (exhausted, brain fog) and blood test confirmed my T4 had lowered so I increased my levo from 137.5 to 150 and kept the T3 at 5mcg. At the same time, I increased my estrogen, which I now know was a mistake to do at same time because

Success Yesterday! I’ve been prescribed T3! But should I reduce my Levothyroxine?
Hello everyone, currently feeling relieved and hopeful, I had my consultation with the Roseway Labs pharmacist and she agreed my FT3 level was too low (4.2 - range 3.1 - 6.8). She has prescribed Sigma Pharma 2.5mcg daily for the first 2 weeks and then 5mcg per day. Looking forward now to them

New research. Linking Amiodarone inhibiting levothyroxine just published.
I'm a little staggered this is new!! But it is.... And I've experienced a lot of problems with ndt tolerance level even 7 months since Amiodarone was stopped. Beginning to wonder whether Amiodarones had a permenant effect. In Vivo Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetic Interaction between Levothyroxine

Help with results and my doctor
HI I've been having challenges with my doctor, who won't listen to me despite some great articles and advice from this group. Back in November my TSH level was 4.83 (range 0.35 to 4.94) and T4 14.0 (range 9 - 19.05). I was on 50mg of levothyroxine for my UAT diagnosed in Sept 23. She refused to listen

why does T3 make me feel worse?
This is what I just googled in desperation after trialing 2.5mcg of T3 again after many months of T4 only due to T3 failed attempts. It’s not in my head, it’s a very specific feeling a few hours after taking it and that feeling is severely hypothyroid. I can hardly think or operate my brain. Google

Advice on raising NDT
Following on from my post on 26/02/24, my symptoms got worse (increased number of anxiety attacks and unable to cope with pain in head/neck and upper back) and the GP didn't have any ideas, so I saw a thyroid specialist recommended by thyroid UK in April. The doctor had my blood tests done and these

advice on synacthen test
for anyone who has been following my story they will know I’ve been having medication issues and I am now taking T3 only. Still having issues with weight gain. Spoke to my endocrinologist last week and she has agreed the increase to 40mcg. This was after she had suggested trying a small dose of levothyroxine

Trying to interpret my results
Hi I was wondering if I could ask some advice regarding my latest results. I've just had bloods done so anticipating the usual conversation with my GP about my TSH being too low.... I've screen shot my results since 2015 basically as I've been tracking them as my TSH rarely changes, even with a reduction

I had a facevto face appointment with a GP on Monday. This was a new GP so thought I stood a chance if levo increase . No the case, I asked nicely, I quoted a few things, I asked for a trail on a increase, she wouldn't budge, she quoted that to have to much levo could make me unwell and they have to

What to do?
I have tried to take 100 Levothyroxine but I felt horrible. Would you recommend lowering Levothyroxine to 75 and adding 5 or perhaps 5+5 liothyronine? On 87.5 t4 TSH 0.23(0.4-4.2) Ft3 4.2 (3.5-6.5) Ft4 15 (12-23)

Latest results
I’m currently on 125mcg of levothyroxine. Overall I’m feeling much better with most bothersome results now being constipation and intense itching which comes and goes. My doctors seem very reluctant to increase my levo and I’ve had to push for each increase so far. These are my recent results.
