I don't have my results at hand but my TIBC was 2-3 points above range when last tested.

No, I don't know. I have followed every scrap of advice on how to do the test properly and am confident I have not contributed to it, but it happens anyway. I have had it happen on one instance too with a venous blood draw. Unfortunately, my GP won't retest me for anything they felt was in...

https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/liothyronine-advice-for-prescribers/#liothyronine-for-hypothyroidism Liothyronine for hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is caused by deficiency of thyroid hormones, which are essential for normal growth, development and metabolism. It can usually be treated...

It's hard to see a specialist here as anyone, though sometimes you win the postcode lottery. I've already had to pay privately to see someone for hrt (a few years ago, but now on nhs). I had to pay to see a cardiologist because that was during the worst time of the GP surgery thinking I just...

If NICE guidelines count as standard policy, T3 id addressed there as thyroid treatment. Not to be routinely prescribed but to be trialed for those whose symptoms persist. But that generally equals doctors saying no without consideration or referrals.

I charged up and used my spinning scrubber today. I was just as tired after using it but instead of only 1/4 of the bath getting done I did the whole bath, tiles abd sink. It was a bit fun too. I was unprepared for the grip needed when it first made contact so it nearly flew out of my hand...

I didn't suggest people treat me/cfs with thyroid hormones. I am asking of people with thyroid issues felt any relief from cfs or PEM when treated with T3. My doctor also can't be bothered to monitor my thyroid levels. I do this myself aiming for optimal ranges not high. I know high doesn't...

Iron panel was done by GP, all my results go to an online platform so I can see them any time. Recent vitamins and thyroid tests are run by me on Medichecks so have those results there.

Yes, had a full iron panel in early summer. My levels were a bit odd. Ferritin was ok but not quite ideal but neither low, my TIBC said I was anemic but my actual irons tests were all in ideal range. I have recently got my active b12 and vit D in ideal ranges. Haven't managed to find out...

I have thought about it for some time. I have done everything I can to try and optimize my health to see if my T3 levels will raise and they haven't. My tsh is good, my T4 is optimal... My T3 is sitting at 35% in range. I have two plans to use T3 (both start low and slow). Plan 1) see...

I decided today to order one of these. I keep getting my family to agree to scrub the tub and such but jo actual work happens. At least this should make me feel like I can do something myself rather than doing a quarter of the tub now and then and never the whole thing.

I was taking 4000 daily for 5 months, now my level is perfect so reduced. Will retest im march to make sure I haven't reduced too much to maintain. I don't feel any difference from being low to being ideal.

Took me 8 months and all the stages to get basic PIP. I would probably have given up at the first stage had I scored any points. I was so shocked to score all zeros that I went for the mandatory reconsideration. Scored all zeros on that too so went for the appeal. It was an absurd process...

I could use one of these, I struggle with scrubbing motions. This combined with The Pink Stuff might be awesome!

This might be something everyone already knows, but I didn't. Happened across a youtube video on cleaning pots and other stuck on things. The base tips was, the main reason products don't work is people don't leave them on long enough. I tried this tip on something, embassingly I have never...

This was helpful to read. I am on bisoprolol for tachycardia and palpitations (dysautonomia) and had been having drowsiness as a side effect (which finally passed). The cardiologist suggested changing to ivabradine but I declined at the time as I wanted to know more. Have since been wondering...

I read the title so wrong the first time, then wrong a different way the second time. I think I'm tired.

And why are doctors giving thyroid medication to patients without thyroid issues??

I am aware that having your levels in the higher ranges (t4 & t3) can increase your risk. I am also aware that my vit D and calcium levels were bottom of the range BEFORE I was diagnosed as hypothyroid. So, I wonder if they also factor in absorption issues many hypothyroid patients face.

I speak French but not Swedish. Also several years ago I left social media and haven't regretted it. Only downside has been recently websites are stoppomg online contact and support groups are mostly on facebook.
