Levothyroxine optimised?
Hi lovely people! My latest thyroid results were: TSH 1,27 (0,380-5,330μUI/mL) (18% through range) fT4 1,16 (0.38-1,40 ng/dL) (88% through range) fT3 3,79 (2,5-3,9pg/mL) (92% through range) Miraculously they finally tested fT3 for the first time, and I was so happy to see that I seem to be converting

Hello, I’ve had an underactive thyroid for 8 years after having my first child, looks like Hashimotos. Currently taking 100mcg levothyroxine and 15mcg liothyronine (10mcg on waking and 5 around 3pm). Also on HRT patches as am mid 40s and perimenopausal. I’m gluten free, have had SIBO in the past.

Hi, thank you for letting me join🙂
I have a long history of Hypothyroidism. A lot of ups and downs on the journey. I was prescribed T3 quite a few years ago but then had it withdrawn because of cost. It took me 10 years to get it reinstated and get my life back on track. It's been a long battle. Am looking forward to connecting with others

Help with adding levo to T3 only
Hi, I've been on T3 only for many years (62.5 mcg). I've switched from levo to T3 only in the time because I had an elevated rT3 and still hypo symptoms despite elevated dose. Every endo I've seen in the last years said I should go back levo because my T3 levels are through the roof. They don't seem

Thoughts on NDT’s and Metavive
Hello Am doing lots of research into treatment of hypothyroidism. Looking at diet and supplements to get maximum benefit from treatment. It would appear that levothyroxine is the main prescribed medicine. Has anyone used DTE’s or metavive alongside it or in addition to it?

levothyroxine and antibiotics?
I’m currently taking antibiotics for an infection after having blood test. Should I be taking Levothyroxine at a different time to antibiotics. Not sure if it will affect absorption of thyroxine?

I have approached my pharmacy

Mixing up the brands of Levo?
My Endo has increased my dose of Levo from 25 mcg to a mix of 25 / 50. I know it may be too low as T4 is currently only 20% through the range. I will have the debate about dosing again in a month when we have more data. The good news is that my Vits are now all optimal, so I should be making use of the

Update after GP call
Had my call with the GP that I mentioned in my last posts. That was a bit of a disaster, although not as bad as it could have been. She did not read my notes or blood test results before the call. She asked me about symptoms, but was only concerned about weight gain and dry skin. I had already gone
