Do I need thyroxine?
I have exhaustion and results a bit like someone else but my GP says my thyroid is normal. I saw your post a few weeks ago. I don't want to feel worse.TSH 6.22 (0.27 - 4.2) and I am also worried that I can never stop. FT4 14.5 (12 - 22) FT3 4.7 (3.1 - 6.8) What shall I do?

So I have been looking into lots of way to healing the thyroid and coming off the thyroxine. Has anyone ever successfully managed to do this. I have been following and reading a lot of information from Gary Brecka who is a biologist and does a lot of work on thyroid function. I have started supplements

Any tips on raising HDL please? Thanks

Dissecated liver for iron
Hello, I’ve had issues with my ferritin being low, even though I’ve been supplementing with iron for a while. Has anyone tried dissecated liver to get their iron levels up? If so, do you have one that you would recommend?

More gaslighting with obtaining T3 🙄
As some will know my T3 was stopped on Nov 9th by my gp due to the fact I'm waiting for an urgent referral to endo.. , I urged my gp to just supply me with a month's cover of T3 to be sure I have enough to tide me over, she told me that wouldn't be necessary as my appointment would come before I run

I’ve just seen two lines (albeit faint) for the first time in my life on a pregnancy test. I say “A” pregnancy test but it’s actually been 3 pregnancy tests 😂 None are with first morning pee - basically my hubby is at the office today for the first time since the transfer & I lost my mind just after
