low tsh but still hypothyroid
hi I keep getting bloods every 6-8 weeks from my doctor as my tsh level is constantly below 0.01…. I am on 75mcg of levo one night and then 100mcg of levo the next as told by my doctor. But I’m still having all the symptoms still of being underactive. When I was on 100-120mcg daily I felt so much better

Increase needed but do I increase T4 or T3?
I have added liothyronine to my levothyroxine. My latest results indicate that an increase in one or the other is needed. Medichecks and Monitor My Health use the same ranges. 18.8.23 Medichecks (112.5 mcg levothyroxine only) TSH 0.101 mu/L (0.27-4.2) FT3 3.9 pmol/L (3.1-6.8) 21.62% through

Borderline results but feel dreadful!
Hi everyone, I would love some advice! I went to my doctors as ever since having my youngest child (nearly 4 years ago) I haven’t ever felt back to normal. I keep going back to GP (see a different one each time unfortunately) and feel slightly fobbed off. Last GP tested thyroid and hormone levels.

Covid & dosing
Hi, I tested +ve for covid this morning. It's the first time I've had it. I've had 5 vacs. My temperature is high & I'm taking paracetamol for that.My question is, should I alter my T4/NDT dose? I haven't been ill at all since I started on thyroid meds in 2015. I wondered if I should increase, decrease

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

Feeling very unwell - do my blood results explain why? What to do next?
Hi Mid August My NDT was increased from 2.5 to 3 grains. By the last week in September I began to feel what I describe as a 'bit off' , these feelings come and go. My partner had covid , I tested negative a couple of times. I did have a bit of cough and sore throat but that lasted only a couple

Update on my post earlier this week. Re Private GP advice - due to under medication.
Results from blood tests on Wednesday.TSH 6.87 (0.4 - 5.4) T4 13.1 (11.5 - 22.7) Assuming my GP will now agree to give me an increase! 🤞 I'll go prepared. I think I'll still end up needing some help to get to an optimal level, at some point in the future. So grateful for all your support and information

folate (as calcium folinate)
hi, I take my T4/T3 at least an hour before my breakfast. I take my B12 supplement and Pink Tribe liposomal vitamin B complex liquid just after breakfast. I’ve been reading the ingredients and am worried in case I should be leaving 4 hours for the vitamin B complex due to the folate mentioning calcium

Hashimotos - understanding latest blood test results - any advice for next steps?
Hi all, my partner (44F) has been struggling with hypothyroid / possible PCOS symptoms for ~18 months (thinning hair all over, some hirsutism and weight gain). She was diagnosed with Hashimotos in October 2022. We have been trying an approach to tackle both the thyroid issues and the hyperandrogenism

How stable should TSH be?
Hi. I have a few things going on that I'm getting checked by the GP, but they keep refusing to check my T4 level so I have gone privately - thanks to advice on this forum. In the meantime, I'm trying to make sense of the data I do have. How widely should TSH vary in someone who has been taking the same

Longevity, demographic characteristics, and socio- economic status are linked to triiodothyronine levels in the general population
Posted by: [i]Antonio C Bianco[/i] [i]@Bianco_Lab[/i] [i]Look at this paper in PNAS. Should we give more credit to blood T3 levels now?[/i] In my view, I simply do not see why T3 is so ignored. Therefore it is difficult to simply accept the "more credit" argument. [i]

Thyroid tests
I have Graves disease since 2007 and had thyroidectomy in 2019. I have felt fine for the last 4 years on levothyroxine (75mcg Monday to Saturday, 50mcg on Sundays). I've recently developed digestive issues with some indigestion and morning diarrhea or loose stool at best. Had FIT test which was negative

NHS Endo - South East - Pro T3 - Three referral choices...
Hi, I went T3 only 3 weeks ago after trying combination therapy for 6 months. At around the same I had my local surgery test for blood FBC, blood sugar, cholesterol, calcium folate, B12 Iron etc. This was just to check for my self that I wasn't encountering any other issues. To my surprise they also
