Graves disease symptoms?
Hi there, I'm newly diagnosed (by UK GP) with Graves disease, and am waiting to see an endocrinologist who is supposed to prescribe me carbimazole. I have a question about my symptoms, which are mild but seem more consistent with hypO than hypERthyroidism: My blood test results were: -Free T3: 13.8

Are meds causing symptoms?
Morning all,I'm experiencing some symptoms that are probably caused by my medication. So after a long journey not feeling well since pace and ablate, and recent blood tests showed my thyroid TSH levels were low and BNP levels 3x higher than normal and still have AF. Had a radioactive scan on thyroid

Stability of NDT at 5C - stored in the fridge
Hello lovely people I am an idiot! It’s official. I’ve been storing my NDT in the fridge instead of at room temperature. Efra (the manufacturer) have said they have no data to confirm if it’s still effective, so said I should stop taking it. That’s £300 worth of NDT, which I just cannot afford to throw

Thyroxine dose
Hi Just wonder if I am on a correct dose of Thyroxine as I am taking 100mcg thyroxine tablet and 10mg of T3 each morning. But my recent blood result show T4 is 15.3 pmol/L and TSH LEVEL IS 0.22 mu/L. My GP said the level are high and should reduce the dose to 75mcg of thyroxine. I am not sure. Appreciate

T3 24 hours before Test
My last tests I took my T4 & T3 , 24 hours before test, by mistake. Madness! After the test I added an additional 6.25mcg T3. Only just realised as my insulin resistance has kicked in massively. Tests- Otherwise, fasting yes, no biotin. So I took both 24 hours before test; T4 131.25 mcg & T3 6.25

antidepressants and the thyroid
Is there any evidence that antidepressants affect the role of the thyroid (production/conversion of thyroxine etc)? Any information gratefully appreciated.

High Free T4 with hypothyroidism?
I've had hypothyroidism for about 15 years and been on levothyroxine all that time. It's never really got me back to feeling great but this year I'm dreadful. They raised my levo to 200mcg in July and the effect has been a disaster. I lost 50% of my hair and bedridden on too many days. Gradually reducing

Levothyroxine side effects - sleep
Hello, very new here. I’ve recently started Levothyroxine after trying to conceive with no luck. My TSH is “subclinical” at 6. The doctor has put me on 75micrograms and I have been on them for a week. Is it quite normal to feel jittery off them or am I on too strong of a dose? My symptoms include:

Normal TSH but symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Hi, looking for advice. I've been on Levothyroxine 50mg dose for 3 years. My last TSH was 2.75 so within normal range but my hair is thinning, I'm always cold, sometimes constipated and low pulse rate, sometimes as low as 50 and I'm no athlete. MyGP only tests TSH should I ask for more tests?
