Increase needed but do I increase T4 or T3?
I have added liothyronine to my levothyroxine. My latest results indicate that an increase in one or the other is needed. Medichecks and Monitor My Health use the same ranges. 18.8.23 Medichecks (112.5 mcg levothyroxine only) TSH 0.101 mu/L (0.27-4.2) FT3 3.9 pmol/L (3.1-6.8) 21.62% through

Borderline results but feel dreadful!
Hi everyone, I would love some advice! I went to my doctors as ever since having my youngest child (nearly 4 years ago) I haven’t ever felt back to normal. I keep going back to GP (see a different one each time unfortunately) and feel slightly fobbed off. Last GP tested thyroid and hormone levels.

Endo recommendations?
Please! Can anyone send me (via private message, do not reply here please) recommendations for a private endocrinologist who has a record of prescribing NDT or T3 and won't baulk at suppressed TSH. Does such a specialist even exist?I think I'm moving towards being prepared to self medicate if it doesn't

Update on my post earlier this week. Re Private GP advice - due to under medication.
Results from blood tests on Wednesday.TSH 6.87 (0.4 - 5.4) T4 13.1 (11.5 - 22.7) Assuming my GP will now agree to give me an increase! 🤞 I'll go prepared. I think I'll still end up needing some help to get to an optimal level, at some point in the future. So grateful for all your support and information

How stable should TSH be?
Hi. I have a few things going on that I'm getting checked by the GP, but they keep refusing to check my T4 level so I have gone privately - thanks to advice on this forum. In the meantime, I'm trying to make sense of the data I do have. How widely should TSH vary in someone who has been taking the same

Longevity, demographic characteristics, and socio- economic status are linked to triiodothyronine levels in the general population
Posted by: [i]Antonio C Bianco[/i] [i]@Bianco_Lab[/i] [i]Look at this paper in PNAS. Should we give more credit to blood T3 levels now?[/i] In my view, I simply do not see why T3 is so ignored. Therefore it is difficult to simply accept the "more credit" argument. [i]

Has anyone had funding pulled due to low AMH?
Hello to you all,🤗 New to the forum so hope this is ok & wishing you all the best in your journey I have recently had my AMH level comeback as 1 (for my age, 38, it has to be 3 or above for funding in my area) I then paid for two private tests, results came back as 3 & 3.6! Excellent I thought,

Hi, I went T3 only 3 weeks ago after trying combination therapy for 6 months. At around the same I had my local surgery test for blood FBC, blood sugar, cholesterol, calcium folate, B12 Iron etc. This was just to check for my self that I wasn't encountering any other issues.

Does HRT estrogen patch and progesterone pill cause weight gain?
So now my big question is does HRT cause weight gain? See now my doctor changed her mind and she is going to let me do the estrogen patch and take the progesterone pill. But I am terrified because I've never been on hormone replacement therapy and I am a person who has had anorexia for over 25 years

Basically the doctor who did my thyroid blood test a few weeks ago now says I am taking too much Levo and she wants to lower me from 100 x6 days a week/50 on a Sunday down to 75mcg. every day. She was going to send a new prescription through to Lloyds reflecting 75 as the new dose, so I told her I wanted

My hypo daughter is clearly feeling tired. She leads a very busy life but from own hypo past experience I can see she is going downhill. Here are some of the results she received back in August when she was advised to take Spatone. At that time she had been taking iron tablets but had stopped because

Study to help patients manage their underactive thyroid
Just saw this and thought both that it is interesting it is being done. And, secondly, wondered if any would be willing to take part. I've scan read the information about the study and it appears that there is no geographical limit (please reply to let me know if I am wrong!) - just that you need to
