I’m hoping this forum can help with reflux and thyroid. I’ve suffered for a long time with reflux. I’ve tried the usual ie Gaviscon and Lanzaprozole but believe both don’t work well with Levothyroxine. I sleep elevated I don’t eat after a certain time and I avoid obvious foods ie onions etc. However

Referred to private Endo - London; advice and recommendations please
Hi all, I have just been referred by the GP to an Endo. I was hoping that someone could privately DM me with recommendations for private endos in central London. I am also wondering whether I could be suffering from Hashimotos hyperthyroid flare ups: To recap; I have hashimotos, and had a hemithyroidectomy

Clinics changing lab perimeters
Has anyone experienced their clinic changing labs with new numbers and suddenly they think everyone's body and levels should match up.? What a nightmare. In tears and finally got a small increase in levothyroxine after two appointments and several doctors later. Why is this even a thing all of a sudden

Learning about my condition!
Hi all, apologies if this sounds silly but what is the difference between Hashimotos and Hypothyroidism? I got diagnosed with an under-active thyroid when I was a pre-teen and have just been taking levothyroxine. I do blood tests annually, but I was recently advised by a friend that the blood test should

Thyroid and stomach issues
Hi everyone,I have been on Levothyroxine for 4 years, I just switched to Tirosent medication 6 months ago. I have struggled with Diverticulitis and HPlori. The Dr keeps putting me on Protonix (Proton Pump Inhibitor) until yesterday, I was told to go off it and take Amoxicillin and Metronidazole. This

First time poster overwhelmed with symptoms and considering self-medicating with bovine adrenals & NDT. Asking for advice & recommendations
TLDR: First time poster diagnosed Hashimotos and POI, investigating IBS which is potentially also autoimmune cause. Fatigue, depression and anxiety are ruining my life. Low Adrenal Index Test results so considering self-medicating with Bovine Adrenals. High TSH and anti thyroid antibodies, but low-end-of-normal

Subclinical hypothyroidism and IVF
Hi, We’ve had 1 round of IVF/ICSI which we were referred for due to my partner’s low sperm count. Our first embryo transfer was unsuccessful but we have another one frozen. The clinic asked me to get my Vit D and thyroid levels tested by the GP before FET. I asked the GP for a print out of the results

Up to 150 Levo
Hi, i am now on 150 Levo. Still have a swollen neck - but all of a sudden i have a lot of joint pain? I am trying to be mainly Gluton free but do have naughty days like this weekend. Could the joint pain be from eating Gluton or is ut another issue?

Really high TSH
Hi I had a recent blood test and my TSH has come back at 8.7, this is the highest I've ever had. The docs called me on Thursday and when I said I'm on 200mcg Levo they said they needed to get me in for a review. I'm going today at 10.30am. TSH attached T4 is 15.3 (11-22.6) T3 is 4.2 (3.5-6.5) Any

Medscape article: what's in a name? (brand vs genetic levothyroxine)
This made interesting reading and I've got mixed feelings after reading it. Certainly they are focused on TSH as a measurement of adequate levothyroxine replacement, which I think is dubious. However it contains some good explanations. They seem to be totally unaware that allergies and intolerances exist

How to take meds before blood test for T3 trial, advice please?
I normally take 100mcg
levothyroxine
and 10mcg
liothyronine
T3 at 7am and then 10mcg T3 around 4pm, can I do this the day before or do I need to take T3 a bit later? I’d like an accurate reading.
