I posted recently about starting Thybon. I’m back with another post , feeling very despondent. My t3 was 2.6 (3.1-6.8) while t4 was about 17. (12-22) It was suggested I start slow and add 5 initially to the 112 eltroxin dose and increase when tolerated to 10. I began and although my energy lifted

General questions about starting NDT
Hello lovely people, I'm back again with more questions... Just waiting on my NDT prescription to be filled by the pharmacy. It will be CAPSULES with powder inside (not tablets). It's 50mg, once a day. I've never had any thyroid treatment previously, so this is my first time trying any thyroid hormones

Cardiac surgery
Has anyone on long term thyroid meds had open-heart cardiac repair surgery? Any ideas as to whether it affects thyroid and any need to up/ lower T4/T3 meds? Any reflections/suggestions would be most welcome.

Nosebleeds and thyroid / blood test query / going private
Hi there :) You were all so helpful when I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year, and I was hoping I could trouble you all with another question. - My levothyroxine was raised to 75mg a day in February based on my NHS blood test (TSH 5.91 mU/L, free T4 15.8pmol/L). - Not really sure if

Spotting, bloating and weight gain
I've just had bloods and swab done at the gp for above symptoms today and the spotting has turned into medium flow period type blood after being swabbed. I had a week of spotting between red and clear to pink brown discharge but I'm finding it painful around pelvic and vagina area when going to the toilet

T4/T3 converter
How I know if I’m a good converter. I have low cortisol all day long and below is my lab test. Please advise. Taking T4 70 mcg/T3 18 mcg. I struggle to add T3 even in small doses.

T3 only. No tests to compare to, only TSH. How much T3?
I have had a very rocky road trying to get better with Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism. When on levothyroxine only, I had increased via GP from 25mg to 50mg and then I needed an increase to 75mg. A lot happened but now I am with my second endocrinologist (my choice) who has prescribed T3 only due to levothyroxine

Why should ft4 be at a certain percentage through reference range (mid to upper) when on T4/T3 combination therapy when T4 is inactive?
As per the subject title, if ft4 is inactive, then why do some people on T4/T3 therapy only feel good if their ft4 level is at the mid/upper level despite the fact their ft3 (active form) may be at a optimal level? Or if they are not feeling well, why are they advised to increase their Levo dosage if

blue fingers when in hot bath??
Has anyone else had this? It happen to my toes when I was in the shower the other day too. I don’t know if it’s Raynauds or my low ferritin/anemia or what. About to go for a colonoscopy this week for the anemia and a high positive FIT test but I can’t see it being linked to that.

Recommended Tracking App - Easy to use, tracks what I need to monitor for CKD
After searching for a long time and almost giving up, I finally found an app that does everything that I need. Yeah! It tracks my diet and helps me monitor my intake of Sodium, Potassium, Phosphate, Protein and Water, which is important for patients with CKD . At the same time it tracks calories

NHS Endocrinology appointment with results of NHS T3 tests. Are latest bloods in my favour or will they work against me?
Hi All, I am hoping to have T3 prescribed on the NHS (aren’t we all?!) or at least to have an understanding Endocrinologist. I am also hoping to increase T3 (See * below) My new NHS Endocrinologist I saw last month asked for me to take my morning NHS T4 and self-prescribed T3 as usual, then 2-4hrs

Extra drugs for Acid Reflux
hi everyone I am trying to get a cough under control which I have had for about 3 years. I have seen a Respitory doctor and technician who are keeping an eye on my lungs and breathing due to them thinking it might be asthma (but never been proven) my blow tests seem ok. My cough comes on and off during

T4 low TSH normal
Evening, I've had more blood tests done and I'm fed up of feeling so badly every day. I've done medichecks TSH tests and cortisol. Only test low is my T4 which tbh never changed since 2016 TSH fluctuates. I had telephone appointment before my test results came back. Due to my chronic fatigue. Weight

Advice on new bloods following T3 trial - Improvement in T3 😃 but v low TSH 🙁
My latest blood tests are below. I’ve had these done as I’m due for annual GP bloods in a week and wanted to know more than simply my TSH. I’ve been trialling T3 (sourced privately) and this has made a big difference, my % through range is much improved. I’ve been feeling better - less exhausted, fewer
