Hellol All, I'm 49, male, ~150lbs (consistently), 5'9", and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at ~ age 15. Antibodies have averaged in the 25 range but at one time went to 51 in 2017. In 2015 for some reason I went very hyper and not really knowing about numbers the doctor increased the dosage...

Group, Here's my question -- Does anyone think adding 5mcg T3 to 75mcg T4 could cause hypothyroid symptoms? Here's the background -- I take 75mcg of Synthroid/levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. I started feeling my thyroid symptoms recur about two months ago, and my doctor allowed me to add...

Ok so I'm not sure what to do at this point. I was diagnosed with hypo a few years ago. They put me on Synthroid at 25. I never felt any better with that medication. A few months ago, I was given a thyroid ultrasound which showed I had Hashi even though my TPO is only 1. They upped my Synthroid...

I understand that sometimes taking ONLY T3/Cytomel/liothyronine will suppress free T4 levels, causing hypothyroid symptoms to worsen. Has anyone heard of this phenomenon, and, if so, would you comment on how this works? It's hard to make sense of this because I thought taking T3 would decrease...

Hello, I was been having various symptoms for a few years, including cold sensitivity, mood problems, fatigue, etc., which made me come across hypothyroidism, something I know little about. I'm a man, by the way, in my early 40's. I was referred to an endocrinologist. He said my labs were...

The last year year has been unbearable for me. I am constantly exhausted, no concentration, feeling detached, no sex drive, thinnning hair etc. the list goes on. I also constantly need to go to the toilet to urinate. I suspected a thyroid or a possible parathyroid problem and I just had by...

Hello, After finding a good Dr (from a post that I earlier posted \o/), I was able to get T3 recommended for me. As soon as I started T3 (04/19) it instantly gave me an energy boost and I didnt feel as drained and sluggish anymore. Started T3 on 04/19. Next week the following symptoms...

Hello All! Through out my whole journey, I have noticed at times severe exercise intolerance. Does anyone else have this? If so, what do you do? I love being active and even walking sometimes brings my mood, energy, and speed and clarity of thinking down. My vision also blacks out if I...

Hello All, I just thought I'd join this site because sometimes you just need to hear from people who know exactly what you are going through! Thanks in advance for reading my long post as I am reaching out because I am feeling very discouraged right now :( My family has a history of endocrine...

So I got my lab results back and have been talking to my endo this morning. The new lab results are in my signature below. He wants to give me Cytomel 5 mcg per day and switch me to an 88 mcg levo tablet (currently taking 75 five days a week and 100 mcg two days). Is taking Cytomel once a day...

Hello there, I have never joined a message board before because I guess I haven't needed support or a community support approach up to this point in my life. I am a 35 year old woman living on the west coast who was diagnosed about 6 years ago with thyroid cancer. I had a total thyroidectomy...

When I was first diagnosed hypo/hashis, I am pretty sure I had Free T3 measured, but since I went to my endo, it has not been. He's a good guy, and perhaps he will test for it, but thinking I might just want to go out of pocket on this. I like him, I think I can speak with him about it in a...
