Thyronorm prescribed for low T3 levels. Weight gain. Is this medicine effective?
Over te passed year i gained almost 5 kg. got my thyroid tested and I have been diagnosed with low t3 levels and normal t4 and tsh level. Doctor prescribed thyronorm. Will this be beneficial. I do feel a burst in energy levels and decreased body and joint pain and general tiredness. I have began exercising (walking and jogging combination) for about an hour a day. Will I see a difference in weight? I was walking regularly previously too but for a shorter time period. It s my wedding in 5 months, and I want my old weight back. Is the gain possibly from an under active thyroid?

Hi thanks for your query
As per discussion you have low t3 and normal TSH ANDT4
TSH causes the thyroid gland to make two hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) andthyroxine (T4). T3 and T4 help control your body's metabolism.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)-Evaluates overall thyroid function.
Free Thyroxine (T4)-Evaluates the amount of T4 available to the cells and tissues.
Free Tri -iodothyronine (T3)-Measures the amount of T3 (the active form of the hormone) available to the cells and tissues
Your weight gain should be due to low t3 ang you get benefited by treatment. Diet plan and exercise
Your doctor should exclude secondary hypothyroidism (caused by pituitary disease)
Although rare
Take care get well soon
