Levo Dosage Help
Dear all, Please can I seek your advice on Levothyroxine dosage? I realise now that I haven’t really helped myself with the approach that I have taken to my medication dosage changes, but I’m new to this and am learning! Following diagnosis of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, I was advised by my GP to

Update on Bank Holiday fun

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

Hello
Hi there This is my first post so wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 6 years ago, and struggled with accepting there was an issue and then with the wealth of conflicting opinions. I couldn’t get why if it is such a common thing why it’s not taken more seriously

Bank Holiday fun (not!)
Evening all, hope those of you in the UK have had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine could have been better… I ended up in A&E on Saturday night with a racing heart (at times around 150bpm) after none of the tricks I’d read about would bring it down below 100. And when they tested my blood pressure

When is 5.6 not 5.6
For as long as I can remember my FT3 has been 5.6 with a consistent dose of 2 grains of Thyroid S and a consistent range of (3.4 - 6.8). 18 months ago I moved to another part of the country where the FT3 range is (2.5 - 5.5). Technically my FT3 is now over range although no one seems to be too worried

Long term -confused - Thyroid & pain in neck?
Hi, I'll try and be brief. It's been over 3yrs since I thought I had a thyroid problem. I was fobbed off with antidepressants and it took me years to get off them. I am still having problems and I know it is not just anxiety! I suffer with DPDR - dissociation. I feel spaced out often and disconnected

Any tips on getting through an increase in levothyroxine and feeling a bit rubbish
Hi everyone, after a too quick reduction in levothyroxine and an return of symptoms I’ve had an increase. I’m 3 weeks in to an increase to 100mcg daily and then in 4 weeks I’m to very slowly increase liothyronine from 10mcg to 20mcg (I’ll do this v gradually). I’m feeling really rubbish, exhausted

My latest two blood tests are below. First blood test: TSH: 4.16 (range 0.27 - 4.2) T4: 11.4 (range 11.9 - 21.6) BELOW Second blood test: TSH: 4.49 (range 0.35 - 4.94) T4: 12.7 (range 9.0 - 19.1) T3: 4.6 (range 2.4 - 6.0) Because my TSH is not above 5 (although 0.04 away
