Thyroid Blood Test
Hi Everyone First time posting on here. I have seen many people recommend having thyroid blood tests early morning before taking Levothyroxine. Does this make a big difference to the results? I am due a thyroid blood test, my problem is I am housebound so my GP arranges for a district nurse to come

Accord 25mcg discontinued?
My mum is on 75mcg Levo per day and for over 10 years she’s taken Accord. pharmacist now claims Accord 25mcg has been discontinued in June 23. Is this correct as news to me.

High Free T4 with hypothyroidism?
I've had hypothyroidism for about 15 years and been on levothyroxine all that time. It's never really got me back to feeling great but this year I'm dreadful. They raised my levo to 200mcg in July and the effect has been a disaster. I lost 50% of my hair and bedridden on too many days. Gradually reducing

Normal TSH but symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Hi, looking for advice. I've been on Levothyroxine 50mg dose for 3 years. My last TSH was 2.75 so within normal range but my hair is thinning, I'm always cold, sometimes constipated and low pulse rate, sometimes as low as 50 and I'm no athlete. MyGP only tests TSH should I ask for more tests?

Levo - am I worrying too much?
First, best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year. I have been on Levo 100 for seven or so months now - the Accord brand. I got my new order by post about ten days ago and stupidly didn't open the parcel until Christmas day, when I needed to! They sent me Teva, so I have missed two days so far

T3 prescribing
My endo and gp have decided to remove my prescription for Liothyronine and want me to be on levo only. I'm in Cumbria. May I have the list of T3 doctors or endos that might prescribe lio on the NHS, if there even is such a thing. I can buy my own but my supply is reliant on someone else bringing it

I’m A Bit Confused About Timings For My Blood Test Tomorrow.
I take 100 mcg Levo Mon-Sat. and 50mcg on Sunday. Christmas got me mixed up so I ended up with 100mcg on Sunday, so I compensated for it and took the 50mcg last night (Monday). Today is Tuesday and the time is now 9:30, I have already had my breakfast. My blood test is at 8:40 tomorrow morning. I’

TSH increase
I recently had blood tests due to feeling really fatigued especially after exercising. I’ve been on levo for 13 years for Hashimoto’s. Levels have been up and down. Last test was 0.75 and I felt fine. That was 9 months ago. Most recent test it was 7.16! No wonder I feel bad. All vits tested on the low

Levothyroxine interfering with periods?
Hi, I have been on 50 levothyroxine for around a year as my blood readings showed subclinical hypothyroid around 5 TSH.

Thyroid and Mental Health (desperate)
Hi, Since my diagnosis with Hypothyroidism, I have had, at best erratic relief of some symptoms with varied dosages of Levothyroxine (more likely, I have learned to cope with the massive life altering consequences a bit). However, recently I have been having mental health symptoms. agitation, stress

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

Latest results.
Hi all. I wonder if you could share your thoughts on my latest results. My levothyroxine has been increased from 50 to 75mg. I have had a very sore mouth and tongue for over 12 months and was hoping if my B12 levels increased and my levothyroxine was working well, it would go. It hasn’t. My B12
