Endocrinologist nightmare!!!!
Hi , I've not posted for a little while but I had a unforgettable experience this week with a NHS endocrinologist I thought I need to share to see if I can make any sense of this .

Biotin
Hi please can you tell me how much biotin would affect blood test results. I am waiting for a doctors appointment , they have told me it will be between 2 and 4 weeks, but could be sooner. I am currently taking B complex supplement which contains biotin. I know the guideline is don't take for 7 days.

HRT - does it take effect quickly?
Hi For those of you on hrt do you feel the difference quickly or is it slow like levo? I am just about to start a trial of oestrogen patches and progesterone tablets. I still have regular periods but have on going fatigue and muscle aches, palpitations etc. Gp thinks it's because I'm perimenopausal.

starting t3, t4 combination
Hi, I am hoping to benefit from the experience of others before me. I am currently on 125 mcg Levothyroxine. I will be starting a trial of t3 and t4 combined next week. The consultant is prescribing 75mcg Levo and 10 mcg Liothyronine. She said it would be fine to start on new doses straight away.

Hashis and Graves? Watch and Wait has now caught up.
About 15 months or so, I had an appointment for a thyroid specialist as my thyroid tests pointed towards Graves. I had been hypothyroid for about 17years when my different results meant my gp prescribing less and less levo. When the amount became 12.5mcg, (after an original 150 mcg) I asked to be

Have broken my brain again, TSH and NICE
So went looking for the bit in guidelines about how Doctors should take into account patients views etc before reducing dose. Started to read their justification for treating based on TSH and their stating TSH should be in range and not suppressed. So as previous posts, GP having hissy fit of

Scarcity does not directly correlate with cessation of manufacturing.
When the WHO listed carb/levo as a critical med to have on hand big pharma stockpiled it. Now stockpiles are running low or out due to the fact it is off patent and makes no $ for Big P leading to repurposing, and of course cessation of manufacturing. This results in a concerted effort to have Dr's

Can thyroid function recover after RAI
I received RAI in 2010 for alleged nodules but then consultant thought I may have had Graves disease instead. Over the last 13 years, I have had my levothyroxine reduced from 150 to 100 and I fear it will be reduced again. I am 55 years old. My question is why does the doseage need reducing? Is it

thyroid tablets
hi all I recently started armour tablets as I was still having symptoms with 100 of Levo with a TSH of 0.06. I feel slightly better with less tiredness and pain in legs. However the private prescription is costing me £130 a month. This is going to be difficult long term. Does anyone know of a different

Sneaky GP
I am fuming, bloody GP. Sometimes I don't always get the full picture during an interaction but it all gets stored, then ra ndomly appears like a video, verbatim. Tonight's showing woke me at 03.55 with a start. Haven't been able to switch off since so in the end got up for tea and toast. So after

Advice needed please
Hi, I've just joined here so I hope I post this correctly. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism back in early 2011. For the most part my levels have been generally normal - with the exception of during my pregnancies, which has gradually seen me on a 150mg dosage. I take this first thing in the morning

Anybody else not able to drink alcohol on levothyroxine.
I seem to have developed a real sensitivity to alcohol which is very annoying! I used to be able drink a nice bottle of red and feel completely normal the next day. Now I feel rough for days it seems to be affecting me alot more since I’ve been on Levo. How does everybody else handle alcohol while on

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience
