anti-tpo how high is high?
hi I’ve posted before about my tsh coming back as <0.001 with slightly low free t4 and normal free t3 and was told I should get antibodies tested. Gp seems to think I have Subclinical hyperthyroidism and is only paying attention to the odd tsh result and wants to repeat it in 2 months. I’ve had them

Tsh 7.09
Hello My mum is 86 & on 75mg level. She has recently had an iron infusion privately as had a ferritin of just 6. Those levels now normal I asked for a full thyroid but they don't do T3 & will have to do a fingerprick test on her. (If she agrees!) Tsh 7.09 (0.35 - 5.5) T4 16.6 (10.5 - 21)

Biotin interference with Thyroid bloodwork
I am due for follow up blood work and just remembered that biotin interferes with the test results. How far in advance must I quit taking my B complex which has 100% daily requirement of Biotin? My last TSH a few months ago was .03, super low for me. I usually run between 1.5 and 2. But my FT4 was

Help with reading bloods
My 24 year old daughter has not been well for some time now and we've had an appointment with an endo doctor. Her symptoms in her words are: physical fatigue not just tired (I have got to the stage where I have to lie down during the day and have gone from an active person to a very sluggish person

Switching from T3 to T4
I've been on T3 only for almost 15 years, on levo before that. Kept having hypo symptoms despite high dosage of levo and my RT3 went through the roof (which most endos pooh-pooh away), so my dr at the time advised me to have a go at T3, for a short while. After some time I was told to go on dessicated

Bradyarrythmia
I had an ablation almost 4 years ago in feb 2020. Since then I have rarely had any arrhythmias, that is until now. They started out of the blue almost two weeks ago and are constant. However , they are not like before, this time the average beats are 60 per minute. They go as low as 42 and as high as

Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

T3 and testing protocol - can I please clarify timings?
I started taking T3 approx 8 weeks ago and I slowly built up to my current dose of 9mcg. I’ve been on that since 5th Nov (in addition to 62.5mcg of levo). I’m planning on testing over Xmas but wanted to clarify the protocol with regards to withholding T3. Am I right in thinking that testing should

Monitor My Health iron test - lack of ranges
I spent a bit more money on my MMH test this year as I’ve never had an iron panel done but have always had low iron indicators on a full blood test. I didn’t get complete results as ferritin failed (posting the kit back took 48 hours when it was tracked to take 24) but the results I did get, I can’

Twins?
Hi I just got a positive pregnancy test after having two embryos transferred. I am wondering if there is any way of knowing if both have successfully implanted or just one? What is the likelihood of both surviving?Thanks!

Concerned, nervous…

Help, need your help
My TSH is .37 so I am low. Do I need to take a higher dose of Synthroid or a lower dose of Synthroid. I can’t remember how that works. My T3 and T4 are within normal ranges.

adult Dad with ADHD who has tried stimulant meds for the last time!
I recently after many years decided to try Vyvanse, after not using meds since my twenties due to terrible side effects, long enough ago were there was no Vyvanse. I’ve been in it for a week, and the anger, and irritability on only 30 mg’s is just too much to consider messing with it any longer. If you

Hi Until December last I was taking 40 mg iron bisglycinate with orange juice every two days. Since this had little impact on my RLS I increased the iron dose to 40mg every day from December until now. As yet I have noticed little change to my RLS symptoms. A blood test this month showed my ferritin

Vitamin B6 Toxicity: Available Testing of B6 Plasma Level Does NOT Tell You What You Need to Know
[u]
Background
[/u]: Vitamin B6 participates as a coenzyme in over 100 different biochemical reactions. When it does so it is converted to the inactive form, pyridoxine. The body contains a recycling loop that restores the pyridoxine to the active form, P5P. Vitamin B2 is required for this process
