Low T3
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi,
One year ago, I've been diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism. (TSH slightly high, everything else was normal, Free T3 T4...I didn't have test for T3, so I don't know about it). The doc gave me Euthyrox pills but it made the symptoms even worse... I stopped taking them. For several month now, I didn't take any drug, my TSH is now normal, everything is normal except my total T3 which is a bit low (<1). the doc said there's nothing to do but waiting... the symptoms are quite bad, i lost 25 pounds, which is strange since low t3 is supposed to make you gain weight, right?, i'm feeling weak, dizzy, i can't drive safely, headaches, can't concentrate, sore throat, painful joints...
any idea how to reduce these symptoms?

Are you in the UK? I ask because your T3 was not done.
I wonder if your thyroid antibodies were checked?

No, I'm in China. Now, I ask for T3 to be checked, it is currently the only thing out of range. Antibodies are normal.

Others on the forum will know more about the reasons why than I do!
What is your TSH?
Kind regards
