Endo's blood test approach- advice please?
Hi all,I have been given a trial of T3 from a private Endo with the view of doing a blood test in 8 weeks to check progress. His instruction was to take the last dose of both my Levo and T3 four hours before blood draw and he did not seem bothered about whether I ate or not before the test or the time

Blood test results
Help! I received my blood test results today and had a little panic!! I wondered if I was over medicated. I’m on 50 micrograms Levothyroxine which I realise now that I shouldn’t have taken on the morning of the test. I took the Levo at 5.20am and had the blood test at 10.20am. The results were:- Serum

My GP doses according to TSH results disregarding any symptoms. Over the past five months I have had to change my dose several times 75, then 75/100 alternate days then to 100, when he saw my TSH was below the lowest level he put me back on 75 without discussing it with me, I had been on this level since

Why are the GPs I have attended I feel that they do not explain how life debilitating Hypothyroidism actually is how serious. It’s a case of you have thyroid problems take Levothyroxine all will be Ok questions

NDT has raised my thyroid anti-bodies. What's next?
Hi All, As I just made a post with my update on NDT (good T3 and T4 levels, but TSH is 0.017, so too low), I received my latest anti-bodies results. And they went up! I've heard some people shared how their anti-bodies went up as well on NDT. Yes, I'm on a gluten-free, whole food diet, been on

Baseline test recommendations?
EDIT - latest blood tests added to the bottom. Hi, starting my journey towards trialling some T3 due to extreme fatigue, weight gain and other symptoms. I’ve been on levothyroxine for 10 years (age 36-46), since fertility treatment picked up that I’d actually been underactive for a long time. Anyway

Prep & Recomendations re T3-friendly Consultant
So, been to see the GP again today. Based on recent blood results, she was very insistant that I reduce Levothyroxine a further 25mcg. She is well aware I'm not happy about this as, previously, when reduced Levothyroxine, I've felt significant lack of energy/motivaton, poor mood etc. Consequently, it's

Confused with blood tests
Hello I'm hoping someone can help me with my recent blood results please. I don't understand how my TSH is so suppressed but my T3/4 is low. I feel unwell with nervous anxiety and palpitations. I feel over medicated but my T3 says otherwise. I am currently taking 50mcg levo and 4 X metavive each day
