Fasting bloods help
Hey so I have a blood test today at 11.30.I know you're not supposed to eat or take levo before bloods. My issue is my blood pressure tends to drop during blood tests and I feel and can faint. If I take my levo after my test, I still can't eat until 12.30 or more depending on when the test is done and

Advice on recent Bloods please
I would really appreciate your advice on blood results please. I have been taking Levothyroxine for 10 years. When I read ElleMai's post I was tearful, that was me 10 years ago. Once medicated I certainly felt much better but not great. I've been frustrated for years at my low energy levels, crawling

Morning symptoms after taking Levo
Hi friends, my 70 year old hypo mother is having some trouble over the last two weeks. She’s been on Levo for 30 years and her last blood tests were ok. I’m also hypo and have been on these forums a while so I’ve learnt a lot about blood levels on here. Anyway, I don’t have her bloods to post up here

Q re Levo not "topping up" natural thyroid hormones and side effects of overmedication
I've been prescribed levo recently and am currently struggling to work out what does works for me and doesn't send me into a jittery, irritable mess. I can't remember blood test results exactly but something like 6.8 TSH and low T3. All my other bloods were fine. I've been on a super healthy diet and

Confused
Can I just ask a question because I am very confused. I have always had sub-clinical hypo thyroid results with a TSH of around 5.4 (range 0.27-4.2) and a T4 result within range but even on 50mg Levothyroxine it caused me to sweat profusely . As my TSH was still high I was increased to 75mg and then 100mg
