Antonio Bianco's recommendation for T3 dosage
I think I recently read here that Dr Bianco recommends a dosage range of 50mcg - 75mcg per day. I've searched extensively but can't find this info. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'd like to use it to bolster my chances of getting a small increase of liothyronine. I currently take 40mcg. Thanks

Please help me understand advanced thyroid test results
I’m returning here after following advice to get my mum a full thyroid check via medichecks as her GP had dismissed her previously marginal results. She is switching to a new surgery and we are hoping she will be taken more seriously, following these additional test results. I’m hoping someone can

Advice Needed Following Test Results
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 2023 and started on a 50mcg dose of Levothyroxine. In March this year, my GP increased this to 75mcg (50mcg Accord and 25mcg Mercury Pharma). This week I took a private blood test to check my latest thyroid and vitamin status. These are my latest thyroid

Do I need more T3 on T3 only?
My blood
test
was as you would expect with
T3
only, ie. above range T3, low T4 and suppressed TSH. Had a low cortisol which was largely corrected by T3 only. Any suggestions please. By the way, a think a thyroid helpline is a brilliant idea. Susieibbo😀

Medichecks results, please advise
Hi Everyone, posting my 1st ever private blood tests. Please can anyone comment, I'm quite new to this. The results came with a Dr's overview, so I'll be taking Vit D supplements but the other results appeared 'normal'. What do you think? And do the autoimmunity antibodies indicate Hashimoto's or am

Iron infusion & over symptoms
Hey all,I was wondering if anyone experienced thyroid overmedication symptoms after iron IV? It's day 3 today, I have much better energy, but also feel jittery and hot at times. I assume iron is making the cellular absorption better and increases conversion. I'll probably do another ft4 ft3 test soon

lab tests
Hi, What is the lab
test
to learn if one is converting T4 to
T3
? I am on NDT so I expect I wouldn t need to be tested, but only for individuals on synthetic T4--correct? My curiosity is because I am asking for a friend who is not prone to researching. Thanks!

Anyone here on hydrocortisone and thyroid meds?
Hey all, Started hydrocortisone trial today as I'm having trouble tolerating thyroid meds and my morning saliva cortisol was 7% range, early afternoon was 9%, the rest was good. Any success stories? How much hydro do you take and your thyroid dose? I'm currently just trialling hydro, 10-7.5-5-2.5 mg
