So still can't get Sneaky GP to put my repeat px Levo back to 150 mcg daily. She also refuses to remove or edit records where she wrongly entered that I agreed to reduction to 125mcg daily. I have had lengthy discussions re this. She is fixated on TSH and keeps trying the you'll get cancer, heart

Help with my daughter's results please
Hi, My daughter is 40 years old and a senior secondary school teacher. She's been ill more or less continuously for the past nine or ten years, and getting worse. She's 5ft 7in tall and used to be a size 8. She is really obese now. She has a fairly small apetite but admits to drinking too much white

advice please
hi. I have started with stomach acid issues and achey muscles, tingly hands and increased anxiety (which was already severe). The last time this happened I needed to increase my thyroxine so that’s what I have done. The gp won’t test my thyroid as it was done in November and it was fine even though I

Insulin resistant & query about blood results
Good afternoon, Please can someone advise if my bloods are acceptable. I had to nag doctor to increase my dose from 125 to 150mg and now fear although I am starting to feel better in myself that they will reduce dose down again when I see them my blood sugars are also out of range - a clinical trial

working out what my results mean
Firstly thank you for all the help I’ve received already with my numerous questions. My question today is how do I fully understand the percentage through range? I have posted my results before and I’ve been told my t3 is low and I’m a poor converter. As an example my most recent results are:- TSH

Advice following house move to another county
Good Morning, we recently moved to another county and have been referred into central Endo/Diabetes service (Aintree Hospitals). Currently still with Lancashire service but l current locum Endo is appalling and only seems to measure against TSH levels and continues to try to reduce based on that

Thyroid ultrasound
I've had my thyroid ultrasound done and the report says I have a very small gland. Smaller than average. Does this suggest less activity? Has anyone else been diagnosed with a smaller than usual thyroid gland

Atrophic Thyroiditis?
Hello everyone. After all the advice I received from my last posts, I have upped my Levothyroxine from 100mcg x 3 days and 125mcg x 4, to 125mcg every day. I’m still also talking 10mcg of Lio a day. I’ve booked a blood draw for 2 weeks time by which point I’ll have done 7 weeks of this. BUT meantime

TSH Supressed, T3 2.7, T4 12 & Antibodies 38
I've had problem with my thyroid for years but it's still so confusing! My doctor wants to reduce my Levo as thinks I'm over but I still have all the symptoms of under. She's also very confused that my TSH is supressed but my T3/T4 are under or borderline. I take 50mcg of Levo and 60mcg of Thyroid

The relationship between Tsh and T4
I hope this isn't annoying as I am still trying to learn this and understand better. I understand that for 90% of people with hypothyroidism TSH is a good indicator to use for fine tuning their medication dosage. But then there are the other 10% who can have various other issues getting in the way

Endo has given me T3.. What do I need to know?
So after many calls and emails over the last 6 weeks, I got an emergency appt with my endo. 2 months ago he dangled the carrot of "maybe needing to add in T3" but then wrote to me saying my bloods are in range and to review in August. Then he's ignored me. After persistence and many messages, I saw

New Research: Link Between Type D Personality and Hypothyroidism Discovered. Thoughts??
Interesting new study. Full access to the original research can be found below the news article. https://neurosciencenews.com/type-d-personality-hypothyroidism-25888/ Not really sure the purpose of this other than clutching at straws and keeping the prized TSH measurement in focus rather than looking

Is it known for Electromagnetic Field Radiation (EMF) to increase TSH whilst still having normal T4 and T3 levels?
Hi, I know a lot of people say that electromagnetic fields are generally not a risk, but what if someone is exposed to it constantly throughout the day without any fresh air, surrounded by computers and other equipment quite close to your body? Can this increase and play havoc with your TSH number
