I've got a few questions regarding t3/t4 since I have ordered blood testing for TSH/FT3/FT4. I have got a lot of symptoms of a hypo thyroid(depression, tiredness, dry skin, fluid retention etc etc.). I'm assuming something is off but we will find out by bloodtesting(will post results later when I get them).
- I see a lot of different opinions about running t3 alone or combining t3/t4. When do you guys combine and when do you guys choose to run on of the two?
- How long do you guys run meds before retesting(are you guys even retesting)?
- Currently I am running +/- 4 IU's of GH. I am not sure yet if I will continu this(or completely drop or lower the dose to 2-3iu). But when I will drop or lower this, will this change my dosing for t3/t4 in case my thyroid is not working properly? If that is the case, I will probably just drop GH for now and wait a bit and then do the bloodtest.
@luki7788 @nothuman @Black Beard I saw you guys have a lot of knowledge and experience with t3/t4. Any other opinions are welcome as well of course.
Thanks a lot.
