Starting T3
Hi I had appointment with private GP and the plan is for me to start T3. I am currently taking 75/100 mg Levothyroxine alternate days. My latest results were TSH 1.28, T3 4, T4 20.4 I’m told my conversion rate is poor at 5.1. It’s suggested that I take 2.5 mcg 3 times a day to begin. If I feel ok after

T3/T4 combo maintaining in range TSH
I’m just wondering, does anybody do this either by design or by accident?

Does this sound like Hashimoto's please?
Hello, My thyroid has been under suspicion for many years but I cannot seem to get any answers. Postnatally, (four months after giving birth), some fifteen years ago, my TSH was tested and was 12.6. Nothing was done about this. ( I have only just seen this on my NHS app). Fast forward to eight years

mixing different t3 meds
I was taking cytomel for 6 years. Tsh went successfully down, but I never could reach normal ft3 because of my poor adrenals. Now when my thyroid worsened, tsh went from 0 to 4,5, anti TPO increased and anti TG appeared though never had them before, ft4 at lowest and ft3 aroung middleof the range. I

Having problems
Hi, Managed to get myself somewhat stable after a crisis period in December/January, and felt the best I had in ages on a dose of 100 mcg, TSH of 0.07 {Range:0.27-4.2}, and T4 of 19 {Range 12-22}. not without symptoms, but better than 95% of the time on dose. T3 was not done despite request from

hormone advice for my daughter please
Hi everyone, hope it’s okay to ask for advice for my daughter. Shes 25, has hashis and has been taking thyroid meds for around 11 years now and is currently on 100/125 levo on alternate days. Over the past few months, she’s lost all of her hair and has been having problems with her periods as well

Endocronologist experience
Hi there, I recently had a top end and very experienced endocrinologist tell me that the 1.6mcg of levo per KG in weight was an old fashioned and outdated theory. Is this the case? I have just upped to 100mcg and was just wondering if I’m on the right dose. He seems to think that’s ok for me.

Blood test timing dilemma: advice please
Can you help me figure out how to get round this one please? The last few times I’ve done blood tests, I’ve followed the process advised here and done the test as early in the morning as possible. However, my endocrinologist had a bit of a hissy fit at this (the timing, not that I waited till after

TPO ab dropped to 'normal' levels
Good Morning all! I'm not here very often these days because largely thanks to the advice and support of the superstars here, my thyroid medication has been under control for a few years now. I hope this is a beacon of hope for those of you still battling through. I take my NHS t4 and I supplement

HR sleep graph... interesting
So my new monitoring ring has shown me loads of new information about the ups and downs of my body 😬 and has opinions on most things! Last nights sleep graph HR (much the same all week) which ideally ought to be hammock shaped for maximum r & r.... so I'm going to move my 10pm 5mcg T3 to earlier in

where to go from here
On the other hand the FT4 for an afternoon
test
is lower than on monotherapy. does anyone know why
T3
medication suppresses FT4 levels, is this just something on the results or does it have symptomatic relevance? I am still taking the same 100mcg of t4.

Advice on latest test results please
My results below are from 19/1/24 and 26/3/24. I’m not using any thyroid meds and it would seem that my tsh is increasing while frees are decreasing. Any advice on what I should do would be welcome. 19/1/24 TSH: 2.77 (0.27-4.2) FT3:4.8 (3.1-6.8) FT4:14.3 (12-22) 26/3/24 - same ranges

Advice on latest results please
I’ve had a bumpy ride over the past 4 years, some of it self-induced by being impatient. When I started testing my thyroid everything was low inc tsh and cortisol, in retrospect I suppose my body was just trying to survive on drippings. I was never sure I had a thyroid problem as my tsh was always

is it possible…
is it possible for t4 and tsh levels to change dramatically in 6 weeks? Six weeks ago I did a medichecks test and my tsh was just within the bottom of the range and my t4 and t3 roughly the same as when I tested before…slight drop. Generally, I’ve felt ok for a few months (been on 75mcg, taken regularly

Selenium, T3 access
My recent
T3
test
was 16% into the normal range. Not nearly high enough. Not entirely sure if it's worse because I live in N Ireland.
