Bone health
I think I’ve asked this but I’m not sure I understood. Please be patient with me. If calcium and therefore also calcium rich foods - dairy obvs but also green leafy veg, soya etc, suppress levothyroxine, what do we do for bone healthy foods?

Recent blood results, help interpreting
Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while, but would like my latest blood results checked with the knowledgable people on here. I've been on a treatment of 125mcg of Levothyroxine and alternating days of 5mcg and 7mcg of liothyronine. I have been feeling better on this dose, and was slightly too highly

Help with results - what would you do?
Hello I finally got a private endo to agree to up my meds from 75mcg levothyroxine to 100 or112.5 if I felt it necessary in July 2023 allowing my TSH to fall below range, and that I understood and was willing to take the risks. My 3 pm slump was dangerous as I was fighting to stay awake on the way

Recent Fibromyalgia Diagnosis
Good Afternoon I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia following a Rhumatologist appt. June 2021 was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism + Hashimoto’s. Although, I have been on Levothyroxine since 2021 this has not helped with my exhaustion and other symptoms. My question is has anyone here been misdiagnosed

Well we're back to the Endo to be told we're trying Stop and Block again.
some may remember my thyroid story as it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm still a regular reader of posts. Tuesday the day all meds are being stopped. I refused the op to remove my thyroid and have it burned out through the great advice in here plus I wasn't keen on having a op at my age either

morning or evening
I have no thyroid and I am on 100ug Levothyroxine. Is it better to take morning or evening before bed. My dr says both are effective.

Should I reduce dose slightly? T3/T4 combination therapy
Hello lovely people. I recently had my bloods done and met with my endocrinologist, and wanted to ask your thoughts. I am currently on 87.5mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily. I feel better than I have in a long time, though possibly slightly anxious (difficult to tell though as I am prone to anxiety

I had an under active thyroid, been taking 50mg levothyroxine for 1 yr, 3 blood tests since all show perfect levels but I can’t lose weight.
Even though my blood tests show that I’m on the correct dose of Levothyroxine since having a hemi-thyroidectomy, I cannot shift the pounds, even though I am eating very few calories every day. (Everything that I do eat throughout the day is nutritious, small portions, and I have no junk food or “empty

caffeine and Levo
on reading the insert leaflet they advise against having caffeine for an hour after taking your tablet. I’m wondering what other people do about that as I could swap my morning cuppa for a caffeine free one or take at bedtime instead. My dose has gone from starting on 50mg in May 2023 to 75 in September

Effect of thyroid meds on adrenals
I have been on levothyroxine for 2 years, numbers were good but wasn't converting well so I added a bit of Cytomel, 3 mcg. I felt ok, but not great. I tried to increase the Cytomel dose to 5 mcg but it made me sleepy all day. I finally lost weight and my face looked really good. Maybe I should have continued

Dosage Amounts on Combi Therapy
Hope no one minds sharing, I started on self sourced T3 in December, adding it to my Levo. I'm due to run my first blood test on this new regime in a week on two. I'm curious about the dosages other members who take Combi thyroid meds are on, how much T3 and T4 they take daily, and do you split doses
