Hello, My first post here and looking to see if anyone can share some perspectives or stories (as a side note, I do have a Doctors appointment to follow up in late March so not trying to diagnose myself here).
Backstory:

unusual test results
why would my T3 be high in the range with T4 mid range? After a few hard months of GP changing my meds I’m now back up to 175mcg of Levo. Just had my results and they are nothing I’ve had before it’s always T4 above my T3 .Just wondering why and what might have caused this ? TSH. 0.11 0.55-4.78

High IgM and other markers
Hi, just had some more blood tests and my globulin and IgM levels are high. I understand they're linked with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Has anyone else experienced this after a recent PA diagnosis? Thanks.

Unsure about increasing T3
Hi Everyone, I’ve had my appointment with my thyroid specialist today and she wants me to increase my T3 from 15mcg a day to 25mcg a day and keep levo at 100mcg. However I’m really hesitant to do this as last time I increased my T3 (see my original post below) I got my T4 to 6 and felt awful. Plus I

Advice before I see the endo
hi oracles I could really do with some advice as to what I should do next. I’m going to see my Endo next Tuesday and my TSH is under the range, she’s going to want to reduce my meds and I don’t know what I feel anymore. Here’s my last results from private tests from 2 weeks ago … TSH - 0.154 Range

Help with introduction of T3 please…..
Good morning, I would truly love some guidance on how best to introduce T3. My private endo has now prescribed T3 to commence with 5mcg twice a day. He would like me to drop my levo from 100 to 75 at the same time. I am trialing T3 due to poor conversion and all the usual symptoms which accompany

I think Tramadol has caused my RLS
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'd love some advice, please. I have MS - I was diagnosed in the late 90s. I'm lucky that it hasn't affected me badly (yet), but I do suffer from pretty severe nerve pain. I managed it with Co-Codamol 30/500 for years. I'd been prescribed 8 per day but rarely took more

Help interpreting results
Hi, apologies for long post. I’m a 34yo female. I’ve had symptoms that line up with hypothyroid symptoms for years. Had a few tests when my eczema flared up really badly around 12 years ago, which coincides with the time that a lot of the symptoms began. Have had fatigue basically since catching Epstein-Barr

Thyroid blood test results.
Been on Levothyroxine for 34 years (Hashimotos)Recent private blood test results are: TSH 0.009 Free T3 4.6 Free Thyroxine 26.2 I feel well at this dose but have been advised by GP that I am over medicated. Also, Ferritin is on the low end at 69.1 Do I need to take iron supplements? Vit D is deficient
