Swollen & sore neck after thyroidectomy
Hi Everyone, I had a thyroidectomy three weeks ago. My wound is healing well but my whole neck is still very swollen and sore. I also have very lumpy lymph nodes above my wound. Can anyone tell me if this normal please?

Help with having Armour Thyroid prescribed on NHS.
Hi, My NHS endocrinologist retired and now the current one won't prescribe Armour Thyroid and so I am having to pay for it privately, which I can't afford to continue to do. Does anyone have the name of an NHS endocrinologist that does prescribe Armour Thyroid to their patients, so I can ask my GP to

Needing advice/suggestions re tweaking NDT
Hello everyone: Hope you’re all doing as well as can be. So, I’m presently taking 90 Erfa + 25 Synthroid, all at once upon waking. I need to make some changes because I’ve lost half the hair on my head, gained 7 lbs and can’t loose the weight, diet has not changed. Been on NDT for the past 2-3 years

New GP who understands thyroid!!
Private endocrinologist discharged me back to my surgery as he "could not" treat me with my TSH being back in range, positive TPO in the 300's & ultrasound showing small thyroid (ords) still highly symptomatic, saw another GP at the practice really to ask for a 2nd opinion. New GP listed my symptoms

Thyroid antibodies
Hello everyone, Just asking for some advice or thoughts as I have the thyroid antibodies but ‘normal thyroid’. The thyroid antibodies were found when my first private endo ran tests for my hypoPARA. I have been confused about what they are going to do about it as all they have said it ‘your thyroid

is this subclinical hypothyroidism?
Hi, Any guidance would be much appreciated please… this is all new to me. I managed to persuade my GP that I have symptoms of hashimotos and to humour me a TSH test , T4 /T3 and anti TPO blood test was done. However the bloods were done at 10:30am, I’ve been having biotin in my multi vitamin and drank

TRAB (TSH Receptor Antibodies)
Does anyone know where the cheapest private blood test for TSH Receptor Antibodies can be found? Most tests I see include TPO and TgAB but not TRAb or TSI Ab. Specifically looking for this test for regular monitoring after discussion with an endocrinologist.

DI02 + & further testing advice..
Hi, I have recently tested positive for DI02 through regenerous labs. It's becoming more obvious I am a very poor convertor of levothyroxine. Is it worth testing for more genetic traits that could further affect my conversion and possibly give me a clearer picture of my thyroid & hashimoto's. Blue

Erfa swap update
my ferritin has just come back as 28 (5-204) I think this is my iron store so it’s clearly deficient. I’ve struggled with anaemia since I was about 18 (maybe before but no cause before then for a blood test it was discovered when I became a donor) No one has ever given me a reason for this! And I

midwife prescribed aspirin due to history of Graves’ disease while pregnant.
I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and the midwife prescribed me aspirin and said it was for the baby as blood will flow to the placenta better. Nothing abnormal was seen or found in my scans prior and my blood pressure and levels are good. I didn’t get a good explanation and it’s worrying me and she

Hi all, Feeling somewhat relived that my latest medichecks test shows my TSH has increased since Jan (same dose - 75mcg) from 0.9 - 3.38. T3 and T4 remained fairly constant (see attached) For the first time I also got TGA tested and they are high, my TPO antibodies have always been negative. So at least
