T3 help
Hi, I have been on T3 only for a few years now and although I don't get it on the NHS, my endocrinologist supports me taking it and tells me that I can source it cheaper than they can, so to just crack on. My Doctors also let me get on with it. They test me and give advice, but as always, they do not

Getting a thyroidectomy soon, what to expect?
Hi, recently diagnosed with a tumour in my thyroid, so team at hospital will be removing the whole thing soon. I am overwhelmed with all this stuff I've been reading here about T4/T3, vitamins, calcium etc. I thought I just had to take a tablet every day, dosage might be adjusted if necessary, but that

Latest results, I’m a bit confused
Fresh in today, and I’m amazed at the B12 result! My B12 has been steadily dropping, the last test in March last year showed total B12 at 271 range 145-569, this result is >150 for active B12, there isn’t a result for total but I’m not sure why it’s missing. Can anyone enlighten me? My CRP has shot up

Ferritin and Iron
I found some information below about Ferritin and Iron - it is from the Dr Mercola website. I have just had my ferritin levels and iron levels checked - The Doctor said they were a bit on the low side so I am taking some gentle iron. My ferritin was 50.9 - I never heard of ferritin before having RLS

How to approach GP to get private endocrinologist referral?
Hello, I'm after a bit of advice really. I have approached a private endocrinologist who has come recommended by someone in this forum, but this endo says that they need a GP referral before they can make an appointment. I'm not sure how to pitch my request to my GP? My TSH is good however my T3 and

Is this normal, really feel like throwing in the towel, again.
My last test results (around 8 weeks ago) showed I was almost optimally medicated. I was using Levo at 50 snd t3 at 6 and getting chest pains on exertion but kept on as I felt slightly better than when I started., but only slightly. I raised my Levo by 12.5 and the usual happened - brain fog, exceptionally

Scans other than PSMA for PC
My husband’s PSA continues to rise yet his PSMA scans are all clear. His last PSMA was late October with a PSA of 4.7 His PSA today was 6.5 It seems I have noted on this forum some other type scans should be done besides PSMA. His ALK PHOSPHATE is 85 (normal) Calcium levels all normal. Thanks

When is 5.6 not 5.6
For as long as I can remember my FT3 has been 5.6 with a consistent dose of 2 grains of Thyroid S and a consistent range of (3.4 - 6.8). 18 months ago I moved to another part of the country where the FT3 range is (2.5 - 5.5). Technically my FT3 is now over range although no one seems to be too worried

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

pre diabetes
Had an NStemi and stent fitted in Oct last year. Obviously a shock and have been following all advice, did cardiac rehab and going on daily walks and gym twice a week. I asked GP surgery for cholesterol blood test to see if it had gone down further and particularly if bad cholesterol had gone down. However
