I need help. I recently lost my NP that monitored and subscribed my thyroid medication. I don’t have a thyroid. I had it removed in 2002 due to a thyroid nodules that were cancerous. I have taken 120 mg of Armour thyroid for years and a small dose of t3 12mcg. The new prescriber I just saw wants

Genome-wide association study of thyroid-stimulating hormone highlights new genes, pathways and associations with thyroid disease
Over the years, we have seen a lot of discussion here about genes – things like whether individuals have particular DIO2 variants, haemochromatosis genes, etc. Where members can get tests run, how much they cost, and what to do with them! A critical issue is that genetic analysis is so new, so current

advice please?
After having my 3rd child, I was not feeling good and had my tpo tested which came back as 390 but tsh was fine -2.9, a few months later I had the tests done again and tpo had climbed to 550 and tsh 7.9 and t4 was 10. It took me 6 weeks to get hold of my GP who then prescribed levothyroxine 50mc once

Need help with test results
I had some labs last week in preparation for a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I have PBC and have my liver enzymes tested regularly and asked my doctor to check my thyroid as well. I've had quite drastic hairloss and really feel it has to do with thyroid levels. I take T4 and T3 and my doctor is fixated

Low T3
Hi, I have been hypothyroid for many years now, but I am really struggling with brain fog and fatigue. I am currently taking 75mcg of Levothyroxine daily, but my doctor says I am overmedicated and wants to drop the dose to 50mcg . I have resisted this so far. She refuses to test T3 as she says if

Finally!
Back in July I had a response to a FOI, which I challenged. I sent out numerous emails to different NHS governing bodies. I met a brick wall. Today an email turned up out of the blue from my Health Board. It only took them five months. The complaint was that the blood testing for thyroid did not

update on T3
Hi all, I’m so happy to see my T3 levels are up, still not where I’d like it. I’m currently on 10mcg T3 split over 3 times a day and alternate 100/125 Levo. Will up to 15mcg split over 3 times a day, slowly Why would my T4 go over the range from previous tests when I’ve been in sane dose of t4

Armour thyroid
I have been on armour for several years and my endo is aware. 2 months ago I had a blood test which showed my levels were fairly low, TSH was 8 ish and t3 and t4 were low. So I increased my dose slightly whilst waiting for a further endo appointment. Within a couple of weeks I was hyper, no blood test
