Armour Thyroid for over 20 years
I have been taking Armour thyroid since 2000... Have had my current Dr for at least 20. When I had COVID last time (about 2 years ago .. very mild case) I noticed my TSH was up (over 3...very high for me and on Armour). I mentioned it to my Dr and she suggested waiting, it could be temporary. In the

Drugs used for past 6 months: 125mcg Synthroid and 1.5 mcgs Liothyronine. (I will admit that I was using Synthroid every other

Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75. I've talked with them twice about this, but they seem to think that since my TSH is in range that any med adjustments may make me have some heart issues. I recently changed

statin or not
I have taken thyroxine for over thirty years. I have high cholesterol of 7.6. The ratio is now 3.6. My doctor wants me to take a statin. Rosuvastatin, which I note is not to be used if thyroid is low. He thinks my thyroid is good. But I am not so sure. I have many problems I think caused by it, bald

T3 looks low to me! I have a goitre....help please.
I'm waiting for and Ultrasound scan for goitre. I had to push for T3/T4 blood test after gp took TSH and was then fixated on high cholesterol levels. I did some research and found that cholesterol levels were raised with thyroid problems and said I would not take Statins until thyroid sorted out.

Advice on where to get blood tests done privately
Hi all, I hope you can help with my query. I've always had issues with T4 but after a good few years of a boost on dessicated thyroid (Erfa) the weight is piling on again. My private doctor has recommended I get the following tested but I'm struggling to find a company that can test my fasting glucose

Inflammation and RLS
I have always believed that inflammation was part of my RLS. I believe this because my RLS responds well to ibuprofen. A recent blog was using this study http://www.smj.org.sg/sites/default/files/SMJ-57-514.pdf The study is from 2016. The study proposes to use the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
