Lab Results and asking for increase in meds
Here are my lab results fasting and before 9 am without taking levothyroxine and t3. I want to ask for an increase in levothyroxine and T3. I am currently taking 75mcg levothyroxine and 5 mcg of T3 once a day. Also, I use the D3 spray. When I asked for an increase before, the doc stated that my TSH

Advise on blood test results
Hi Everyone All advice gratefully received. Although I have had hypothyroidism for 20+ years plus many other health problems. I have always just believed everything my doctors told me and I was either told my results were normal and everything was ok or not normal and I needed medication. I have

Doubling Dose of Thyroxine?
Hi, I’d like your thoughts and opinions (I’ll make the decision 🙂) on doubling my thyroxine dose by taking two tablets per day. I’m on 50mg, been at that for years, but I still feel cold especially feet and hands. My TSH level is 3.28 and whilst it might be in range, I understand it should be more around

Doubling Dose For Hypothyroidism?
Hi, I know this is not the thyroid thread. I’m here because I’m B12 deficient, SI with hydroxocobalamim. But because it’s an autoimmune problem I sure a number of others are affected by hypothyroidism hence my desire to get thoughts and opinions (I’ll make the decision 🙂) on doubling my thyroxine dose

Latest reults
hi I’ve just had my latest thyroid panel results, numbers seem slightly better for antibodies but still higher than they should. Ft4 & Ft3 slightly higher than last time but still not optimal? B12 and vit D is a work in progress. Ferritin is edging out of optimal towards high end, not sure what this

Full list of autoimmune tests I got
This has come up in various threads, so I figure it's worth posting. I got all these in search of severe then-unspecific neuro/immune troubles. There are always more tests, but this covers a good set. -- The ones with ** are esp common rheum tests : ------- PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS SERUM CK

Direct measurement of T3 likely vital say researchers
This may have already been shared but I just came across an article about a new study that has stated that "It is important to note that the more typically measured biomarkers for thyroid function (T4 and TSH) are poorly linked to free T3 levels," Lawton and colleagues wrote. The ratio of TSH:T4 explained

Strange results! Would value opinions.
February 2022 on 125mcg Levo TSH 0.04 (0.27-4.2) FT3 5.22 (3.1-6.8) FT4 19.1 (12-22) January 2024 125 Levo 3mcg Lio TSH 0.0008 (0.27-4.2) FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8) FT4 18.1 (12-22) After about a year adding Lio why has my FT3 lowered ?! Seems very odd. I mean I do feel quite a bit better. Still a slump

Sources of T3/NDT
Hi everyone, Following my recent test results in which my T3 levels had dropped (with no change of dose) and meeting with an endocrinologist who insisted everything was 'optimal' (although only just within range) I would like to explore either adding T3 or switching to NDT. I would like to know of

Hyperthyroidism symptoms
Since having several weeks iodine treatment on leg ulcer I started having a buzzing feeling in chest and sometimes thighs. Worse after eating. Making me feel very anxious. Gp did blood test for TSH level but came back normal (1.22). Have lost weight and wakes me at night too. What other tests could I

new blood test results - should I increase? NDT
hello all, I am on NDT and got my new blood results. They are as followed: TSH: 0.13 (0.27-4.20) Ft3: 3.10 (2.00-4.40) Ft4: 0.96 (0.93-1.70) Test was done 9 am. Last dose NDT was 24h before (1.75 grain - taken all in one). Do you think I should increase my dose of NDT? Or should I stay on
