I've posted on here before for advice. Gp predictably says results are 'normal'. Saw a private endo who immediately diagnosed Hashimotos. I've since had another blood test and T3 has now fallen to below normal range.

I've been gluten free for 2 months and in this time have also on the advice of my endo been on adrenal support. I've also got my Vit D up to 70 with supplements. She now feels its time to start Armour but I'm scared, I've had it drummed into me so often from the GP that my thyroid is normal that I've started to question myself and the diagnosis. I've also heard horror stories with side effects to thyroid treatment. After four years of feeling rubbish I've convinced myself it's all in my head and this is going to make me feel worse. Please someone talk some sense into me
