Thyroid antibodies test
My daughter had a thyroid antibodies test in May which was quite high. The hospital referred her back to our GP to be monitored for underactive thyroid. I have seen some posts that say antibodies test is a sign of Hashimoto's or Graves disease so I am just looking for some advice and guidance as I

Input please
Hi! I have been hypothyroid for many years, and until recently I never had problems with my thyroid numbers, or with how I felt on the medication. I was taking a compounded T3/T4 for years, but then moved locations, and accessibility plus costs led me to change to NP Thyroid, which also seemed fine.

Understanding results
I have just got my blood results back and the doctors where not very helpful. I'm just trying to understand each part. TSH - 6.5 mlU/L (0.30 - 4.50) Free T4 - 10.1 pmol/l (10.0 - 22.0) TPO antibodies, Positive - 104 (0.0- 34.0) Any help so I can try to make a plan on what to do next would be appreciated

I will have RFA performed on my nodule
Hello everyone, in the mean time I got the results back of the biopsy of my big thyroid nodule (4,8 x 2,6 x 1,9 cm) and it is benign! In a few weeks time (date not set yet) I will have radio frequent ablation in Holland. I will have to get in sober (no eating and drinking that day). I will get a local

New blood results - advice on whether to speak to GP?
Good afternoon everyone, I posted back in November (https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/150229278/blood-results-low-ft4-normal-tsh-warrants-gp-review) and received some really helpful advice, so I thought I’d post again for your opinions with some new blood results. Blood test taken at 08:50

Country Health practice
If anyone uses Country Health for their thyroid support, please can you let me know how you got on. I am wondering if it will be cheaper to go down this route for a private prescription for my ndt. thank you x

Symptoms fluctuating
I am positive for Trab, TPO and Tg antibodies. I had Graves, was treated with carbi (didn't need high doses), went into remission and stopped carbi as per endo advice about 7 months ago (after 14 months of treatment), was ok for a few months and now, instead of suffering a hyper relapse as I thought

Switching NDTs
Hiya. I am currently trialling a switch to another NDT. I would be grateful if any folk that have done this could advise on dosing during the switch please. Would it be a case of just switching at the same dose, or starting again? Any thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks!

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience

Switching from NDT back to T3 only
Is something like NDT (T4) withdrawal symptoms possible? To be exact, if you are on T3 only but due to some circumstances have to take NDT for a couple of weeks as a replacement and then again can switch back to T3 only, then because of the longer half-life of T4 (up to 9 days I've read), can it become

Daughter’s results causing confusion - Hashimoto’s AND Graves??
Hi everyone, This post comes with a caveat. I’m sat looking through my daughter’s blood test results from the second part of last year. I’m doing this because she’s off college again with some sort of virus, this follows a week of Covid. I’m ashamed to say that I’m only looking at these results

GP Levothyroxine review appointment today
Today I had my appointment with the GP to review my Levothyroxine. He introduced himself as the GP that I am registered with not the one I was told I would see. He is Indian and even using the microphone that bluetooths directly into my hearing aids he was very difficult to understand. Several times

How does synthetic t4 convert to the active t3 after a thyroidectomy?
Is it the same place & way if one still has their thyroid? Ie. When you all note that hormones given replace the thyroid, not top it up if the thyroid is still in place, does it then not matter if one has a thyroid for this mechanism? (Not discussing taking anyone's thyroid without obvious dire need

GP not doing regular thyroid bloods.
How often should gp do thyroid bloods please? My main thyroid problem is fatigue, it’s not there all the time, comes and goes. So, I would like them done every 8 weeks, as I try different combos of Levo, T3 and Thyroid S, till I feel better. However, mine doesn’t do anything at all until I chase her

Blood test result - Hashimotos
Hi all, I have recently had a scan of my thyroid and it’s confirmed my diagnosis of Hashimotos. When I spoke to my doctor about this I explained I was struggling massively with my weight, coldness and tiredness. Because of this he requested a blood test which all seems ok apart from my Thyroid peroxidase

Looking back on my thyroid journey, a success story and motivation to keep on fighting :)
Two years ago an occupational health advisor wrote a review of my condition for my employer that broke my heart. I was 2 months into taking NDT and finally starting to see some improvements in my Hashimoto’s symptoms. I was gradually building up my stamina and able to go for a 15 minute walk, and I
