Hoping for advice
I have a blood test at 9 am today and took my tablet at 5.45 am by mistake. If I refrain from breakfast, will this at least help or is there no point now and should I eat as normal? Also, what will it affect, the TSH, T3 or T4 or all of them? My GP doesn’t normally test like this (he added it on

Vitamin/mineral deficiencies
Hi. I've had Pbc for 6 yrs now. Recently I've noticed that I am more fatigued than normal. I asked for my blood results over the last 10 yrs . I noticed a progressive decline in my ferritin levels over the last few yes. I had a vitamin b12 level done recently and it was just above the borderline/normal

Strange Results
Hi, I was diagnosed with PA in 2013/14 and was given injections for a while but that stopped a good few years ago. I had tests done via Endo a while back and they said my levels were fine despite no injections/supplements. I had tests done in May 2023 and the active b12 came back as high. It showed

results comparison - question around conversion…
hi there I have posted a few times in the past - more recently about my private dr suggesting T3 medication route. After getting advice on her I decided not to pursue that at this time and instead titrate my T4 / Levo up a step (from 50mcg to 75mcg daily) - have just done blood test after 8 weeks

Help Interpreting Results
Hi. Can I have advice on results? These are from a while back for anyone who has read my recent posts. I was on 1 tablet of T3 a day at this point. I previously had high thyroid antibodies but the LDN I take seems to have lowered them to be in range. I was wondering if the same has happened with pernicious

Giving levo another go...
Hi thyroid community, I have been diagnosed with 'sub clinical' hypothyroidism (due to autoimmune condition) in the last few years and my life has been shit ever since as I'm sure many can relate. I didn't get on very well with levothyroxine during my first trial, but I decided to persist giving it

Given up with GPs!
Sue Johnson gave me lots of advice about ferritin levels. In July my level was 7 and I was prescribed Ferrous fumerate 2 x 210mg per day. This stopped my RLS and I was amazed. However after about a month I felt it creeping back. After 3 months I had a new test and it had gone up to 19. The GP said I

TSH and T4 raising on medications
Hi Initially, my TSH level was 8 mIU/L (normal range 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L), with T3 and T4 within normal ranges. Upon starting a 0.25 euthyrox (T4) dosage, my TSH surged to 18, coinciding with the onset of mild discomfort in my rectal area, which I suspect may be hemorrhoids. Despite a dosage increase to

Low TSH
Background I have a lifelong hereditary condition known as FAP. Because of this I have had several surgeries to remove my whole colon and rectum. In 2009 I had surgery to create what is called a J pouch, which is made from approximately the last 40cm of terminal ileum. Current issues. Recent blood

My latest results were TSH 1.28, T3 4, T4 20.4 I’m told my conversion rate is poor at 5.1. It’s suggested that I take 2.5 mcg 3 times a day to begin. If I feel ok after
