test results
Hi I received these blood test results today but didn’t receive any explanation and wondered if anyone knew if they were within the normal range before I can eventually speak to a doctor. Also my FIT test came back negative but my calprotectin was raised at 65. many thanks.

I really need some help and advice please.
I am struggling. I quit smoking back when I was 30 and I’ve been unwell ever since. I’m now 38. They put me on levothyroxine about 18 months after I quit smoking because my tsh went up to 11, my free t4 went to the bottom of the normal range, my free t3 went sky high. I also developed antibodies at 350

Can years-old injuries rear their heads when undermedicated?
Hi everyone, I’m interested to hear from you if you experienced or experience pain from old injuries when undermedicated for hypothyroidism. I’m wracked with pain everyday. It’s by far my worst symptom. Whilst the pain is widespread, it’s occurred to me that some of the worst affected areas are

Back to gp to ask about last thyroid bloods🤦
Hi everyone ❤️ So I posted a couple of days ago about the abysmal treatment by my surgery in me getting new thyroid blood tests 🤦 First I should point out my surgeon in Liverpool requested these thyroid bloods because (1) , I've been off thyroid medication since January 31st (no thyroid) I had a 4D

Worried about recent test results
My most recent test results are concerning. I've never had elevated Tg antibodies, only slightly elevatdd Tpo. TPO 210 Tg 971 TSH 1.85 T3 3.2 T4 17.3 What could the high tg anti mean? I'm worried about Thyroid cancer since I have never had this befire and I thought that only tpo was linked to autoimmunity

Do you ever get properly well with hypothyroidism?
I’m a youngish person and just feel I won’t have decent quality of life ever again. I used to have a career I adored, was self employed, had hobbies, felt happy etc and now I just feel like I have nothing as it’s all stopped. If anything things have got worse on levo, no matter my doseage and adding

Help with adding levo to T3 only
Hi, I've been on T3 only for many years (62.5 mcg). I've switched from levo to T3 only in the time because I had an elevated rT3 and still hypo symptoms despite elevated dose. Every endo I've seen in the last years said I should go back levo because my T3 levels are through the roof. They don't seem

Latest bloods Graves
I’ve had my latest bloods back & a follow up with my endocrine nurse on Friday. In brief I’m still losing weight, I’m now 46.6kg (no diarrhoea) sleep is still absolutely awful & I’m tired a lot of the time, mentally I’m still very up & down. My resting heart rate has improved a bit recently. I’ve just

PMR Flare
So I think I might be in full flare. Last September, I was told to taper off pred. I ignored what I was told about being down to zero by the end of the year as I considered it unrealistic and went at my own pace. By mid Feb, I was hovering around 3/2.5/2 mg and by then, my legs, hips and back were

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Nd Thyroid to thyroxine
Hi, I have Hashimoto's thyroid and Endoctrinologist has advised I move from NP thyroid to thyroxine. I was sent for Ultra sound by my doctor and had difficulty getting a follow up as he was on holidays for 2 months. I had to get online doc to refer me and only had report of ultrasound so not the scan

A few Things ….
1. I had an ACTH test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine. I had a small bowl of plain porridge and nothing else, except water

Update to last post: What does T4 do?
Hi Thanks for all the help when I asked the question about T4, while prepping for my appointment. The appointment went well, I got a GP with ears! GP wanted to discuss the last endo letter saying that I can't have T4 increase unless I agree to give up my "self medicating habit." I explained that I
