Bottom of T4 range - Graves
Ok - had a mental health crisis over the weekend - not feeling great but kinda sorted myself out. I was waiting for results which get posted and thought I had gone up the scale turns out T4 is 12 (range is 11-23) lowest it's ever been and TSH is 0.20 (range is 0.27-4.5) - they won't test anything else

Extra folate & biotin?
Since 24th April, I’ve taken 50mg levo daily, with BioCare Adreno Complex, Igennus Super B-Complex and separate Igennus B12. It’s early days, but in due course I plan to increase levo to 75mg, then 100mg, if my obliging GP will prescribe it. My question is this: is it safe/advisable/helpful to add in

Three Arrows iron repair price hike! Possible alternatives?
Hello to those afflicted by low ferritin. I was about to re-order Three Arrows iron repair simply heme from the States and, to my horror, the price for 3 bottles has increased from $66 in April to $85 today!! Both prior to P&P. Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative? Thanks 🙏

My Last (IFN) Dose, my Fateful Decision One Year Ago
This is a long and not cheerful post, I understand if you don’t wish to wade fully or at all thru it. Sections are marked for easy reference. The thoughts are my opinions only. -- I wrote a few months ago on my botched flu vax anniversary. Today is the one year mark for my Last Dose of Besremi

Another 8 weeks on. Advice, please
Hi everyone. Background: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism some years ago, but only discovered last November (2023), thanks to the forum, that I have an atrophied thyroid. Also, upped my dose of Levothyroxine in early October from 100 mcg Levothyroxine 3 times a week and 125 4 times a week plus 10mcg

Tired all the time
Lately I feel tired all the time, from when I wake up to when I go to bed in the evening, despite the fact that I sleep more than 8 hours per night. I take a lot of supplements (calcium, D3, folate, complex B, magnesium glycinate, heme iron),
the only value that was low was ferritin
but I do take

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

Just saw my first rheumatologist yesterday, very confused by diagnosis?
Can you have negative rheumatoid factor, negative CCP antibodies, no pain, stiffness, swelling or symptoms in the small joints (hands, feet etc) & it still be possible to have rheumatoid arthritis? All of my symptoms for the past 5 and 1/2 months seem to be classical PMR (before I started taking prednisone

It felt like Levothyroxine was poisoning me :(
It felt like Levothyroxine was poisoning me :( Hi all, Im new here and this is my first post. On the 20th Dec 23 I came off of my dose of 150 Levothyroxine completely (cold turkey). It genuinely felt as if I was being slowly poisoned. I was constantly shattered, I couldn't think straight, i was so,

Latest Thyroid Blood Results
I have had no comment from these recent results from my gp. Currently I am struggling to sleep, my heart is palpitating ALOT, I am feeling cold to the bone and shivery but no temperature. These are familiar symptoms but if I am understanding the results, my TSH is borderline or just under but yet

Daughter’s results causing confusion - Hashimoto’s AND Graves??
Hi everyone, This post comes with a caveat. I’m sat looking through my daughter’s blood test results from the second part of last year. I’m doing this because she’s off college again with some sort of virus, this follows a week of Covid. I’m ashamed to say that I’m only looking at these results

Thyroid and antibiotics
I have been prescribed antibiotics but have developed acid reflux since starting them. Is it okay to take lansoprazole short term hopefully? And also, will it affect my thyroxine absorption? I know to leave a two hour gap between thyroxine and medication. Thank you for your help

Can a change in batch be the reason my thyroid hormones have dropped so low?
I was on 100mcg a day at the end of November and my results were TSH - 0.011 (0.27-4.2) Free T4 - 21.6 (12-22) (96%) Free T3 - 5.8 (3.1-6.8) ((73%) I thought the T4 was a bit high and I was having some mild palpitations so I reduced to 4 Days 75 mcg and 3 days 100mcg. After 7 weeks I retested

Poor GP response for years!
Hello. First time poster here Long story short I have been taking Levothyroxine for around 8 years and within this time I have had a constant battle with my GP to manage my symptoms. Unfortunately I have found that it does depend on which GP you get as to whether they will increase Levothyroxine.

Symptoms fluctuating
I am positive for Trab, TPO and Tg antibodies. I had Graves, was treated with carbi (didn't need high doses), went into remission and stopped carbi as per endo advice about 7 months ago (after 14 months of treatment), was ok for a few months and now, instead of suffering a hyper relapse as I thought

live blood analysis …migraines
Around 7 years ago following blood tests for TATT and various other ailments, it was found that I had a low B12 (156) and GP agreed to prescribe the usual injections… loading dose and then 3 monthly. After lots of research on this site and through trial and error I finally settled on SE every 2 weeks
