Cancellation of Arthroscopy as low TSH
Good Evening Everyone I thought I would share this with you. I am scheduled to have a private Arthroscopy on Thursday 12th Oct. I had a pre op appointment and had some bloods taken on 30th Sept. I got a telephone call today from a nurse to say that the Consultant Anaesthetist was cancelling the operation

My GP has no idea how hypothyroidism has affected me.
I had a telephone appointment with my GP today. He told me that my blood my TSH is elevated and that I need an increase of liothyronine. I told him I have an appointment with the Endocrinologist in a week or so, hence the blood test. He then asked me when I was going back to work as I have been off

Regenerus cortisol & DHEA results
Hi everyone, In an attempt to gain a better understanding of what exactly is going on with me, I decided to take the Regenerus cortisol/DHEA saliva test. My motives were a sense of not being able to easily increase thyroid meds & not particularly feeling an improvement; waking nightly at around

So frustrated
I'm happy on 20 mcg lio and 50 mcg levo - but each year it's a battle to get the blood tests done. I have problems each year with the GP: generally they say they can only test TSH (which is obv a total waste of time given the lio) so I get the blood form from the endo. Four years ago, the GP did the

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

HRT and thyroxine
Morning all, I have been stable on 175ugs of levo for about two years now and I also take HRT. In a couple of months I will be having a THR and have to stop HRT for four weeks. Does anyone know if this will affect how much levo I may need. I know you aren't medical but it would give me an idea as to

Mine has mostly flatlined since starting Levothyroxine, although not immediately. Will it come back? If so, how long will it take? FYI Diagnosed Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto and still optimising dose. Vitamins all but Ferritin needs improving. With you in spirit and solidarity. HSD

Asking about thyroid levels
I hope that people on this wonderful forum can help out. My question is: after being on the correct dose of levo, how long can levels of t4 and t3 continue to rise for ?

Levothyroxine Brands Experiences
Dear all, As always, I hope my post finds you as well as can be in your thyroid health journeys. As I am learning, it is incredibly tough to navigate. Today I just wished to ask about sensitivities towards certain brands of Levothyroxine which symptoms gave rise for your suspicion? Eg. Rash? Swelling

Feeling relieved
After never feeling great since before starting on levothyroxine, I had a endo apt yesterday. I feel really confident moving forward. She has prescribed liothyronine, going on my private tests, and ordered blood tests, including one for my adrenal levels I believe. She even asked if I'd taken my
