My GP is happy to make a referral but I need someone who is open to prescribing T3 and isn’t afraid of suppressed
TSH
etc. Please PM me if you have a recommendation. Many thanks in advance.

New results from Monitor my Health
My
TSH
was 33.52 when diagnosed. Am l right in thinking my Levo is bringing it down and do you think l need an increase? I still feel tired, never wake up refreshed and have low mood swings but joint pain in my wrist and hands is easing. Thanks.

Advice please, re sourcing/dose T3 in England, UK
No other thyroid tests performed, as
TSH
within normal range [0.27-4.2], so no F4 result, unfortunately. However, I think the
TSH
says it all. GP happy with 'numbers', of course! I'm definitely not and told her so.

TSH
5 (0.27 to 4.2) Free T3 4.3 (3.1 to 6.8) Free T4 12.5 (12 to 22) I know I need to sort my vitamin levels but how should I sort my hypothyroidism?

Going back to Thyroid-S from Metavive if I can find a reliable source
I have been taking 1 tablet of Metavive IV for the 6 months but my
TSH
has now crept up past 5. I was tested 4 months ago at 4.2 and I thought it was an anomaly but a recent test was even higher so something has changed.

Preparation for testosterone test?
I know there are several suggestions for people having
TSH
tested; I scheduled the testosterone test for 8:30am assuming that the early time would be likely to produce the most accurate test result, as is suggested for
TSH
tests.

Doubling Dose For Hypothyroidism?
My
TSH
level is 3.2 and I understand it should be more around 1. I intend asking my GP in March (will be discussing B12 provision with him then after new NICE guidelines are published) but I’d like to try it sooner if feesible. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
