Is this normal, really feel like throwing in the towel, again.
My last test results (around 8 weeks ago) showed I was almost optimally medicated. I was using Levo at 50 snd t3 at 6 and getting chest pains on exertion but kept on as I felt slightly better than when I started., but only slightly. I raised my Levo by 12.5 and the usual happened - brain fog, exceptionally

Oh well!
Today I had a hand addressed envelope in the post. It contained a bag for the blood test and apparently in small print at the top of the bag, it is from my Endo. I am guessing this is the form I needed for the blood test I had in November, There was nothing else in the envelope. So next time I

Scans other than PSMA for PC
My husband’s PSA continues to rise yet his PSMA scans are all clear. His last PSMA was late October with a PSA of 4.7 His PSA today was 6.5 It seems I have noted on this forum some other type scans should be done besides PSMA. His ALK PHOSPHATE is 85 (normal) Calcium levels all normal. Thanks

test interpretation help please
help with test result interpretation please. retest using monitor my health as I though NHS test might have been affected by taking a multi vit (which I stopped a week before this test). Was overactive and gradually put on 75 levothyroxine. Should I be reducing this amount as now over active? My TPOs

Results. Advice please.
Hello, I have my recent blood test results as follows: FT4 <1.3pmoL/L 10.8 -25.5 TSH 0.09mIU/L 0.27-4.2 FT3 5.2pmol/L 3.1-6.8 I am still really hypo. Could this just be down to low vitamins and minerals.

Endocrine Nurse appointment but no plan in place plus weight loss
Hi everyone It's me again. I hope you are all doing ok. Last time I posted I was feeling really unwell on my dose of T3 but had an upcoming appointment on 6th March. On the day it was a different Endocrine Nurse who I didn't know & was difficult to understand due to her accent but basically told me

Frequent injuries when exercising.
I have been hypo for about 10 years, currently on 75mcg levo, and 10mcg lio but drop to 5mcg twice a week, otherwise my heart rate goes up from 60’s to 90’s. TSH 0.01, FT4 16.1, FT3 4.6, both 41% through range. Vit D 85. I find if I do even pilates, ligaments and bursae get easily inflamed. Eg an ankle

I have adopted a gluten and dairy free diet in the last 4 months and feel like the brain fog has lifted. Last 3 results were

How overcome a high B12 test from when I must supplement to function?

Hi there! I am 6 months post kidney transplant. First I'd like to say that I was very blessed, I was approved and put on the list May 3, 2023 and I received my new kidney from a perfect match deceased donor June 13, 2023. My transplant team said that is very rare and very lucky. I have had some challenges

Intrinsic Factor result
bit disappointing it didn’t come back positive., but I know they don’t always accurately reflect the underlying condition.It also means my pernicious anaemia could be due to long term use of PPIs rather than autoimmune gastritis. (By the way stopped PPIs in December last year) .
