Hi, been Hashimotos/hypothyroid about 10 years. Was always on 225mg. Since perimenopause they've dropped me to 150 which I was reluctant but had to do. Stayed like this for 3 years but new Dr, new results - she wants to drop me again. Trying to balance HRT to help all pain and symptoms. Scared of how

To Trial or not to Trial?
I have decided not to trial. Going to just do the Venetaclax & Obin protocol. I’m just not in the mood for the extra appointments and brain damage that invariably comes with them. I’m waiting for a start date. Had the bone marrow biopsy and endless other tests this week - decided not to peek at the

Interesting article about the effects of Covid19 on your blood

Secondary hypothyroidism
Can anyone please tell me where free t4 should be at for secondary hypothyroidism. Should it be in mid range to upper third? Mine was 1.01 in a range of 0.76 to 1.46. I feel very hypo.

Fatigued with anxiety
Hi, I have hypothyroidism which was diagnosed three years ago and am currently on Levothyroxine 100mg daily. My memory has improved to a more normal level but I wake up every morning barely able to open my eyes and in work I am able to function, but I lack sharpness and feel detached, almost like I am

Perplexing results. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
I was wondering if any one had any thoughts on my results I’m 14 years post RAI and have been on levothyroxine for 8 years and I seem to be very sensitive to dose change. I don’t have thyroid antibodies just a toxic adenoma. They run my T4 higher around 19- 22 for conversion for T3, my consultant

Roseway labs
Do Roseway Labs request GP details and ask to write to them? Also, if I request T3, will they need proof that I am taking T4? If so, what proof do they require and how do I submit it? My last blood test was 7 weeks ago, is this too far away if this is what is required? I would be grateful for information

I’m currently on 125mcg of levothyroxine. Overall I’m feeling much better with most bothersome results now being constipation and intense itching which comes and goes. My doctors seem very reluctant to increase my levo and I’ve had to push for each increase so far. These are my recent results.

Beware of Lansoprazole
I have taken this drug for years for acid reflux. Last year, during a medical check, it was found that my blood count was so low it was almost at needing a transfusion level. I was put on Ferrous Fumarate which brought my level up but my ferritin level is still low. I had an endoscopy and it was discovered

Effect of thyroid meds on adrenals
I have been on levothyroxine for 2 years, numbers were good but wasn't converting well so I added a bit of Cytomel, 3 mcg. I felt ok, but not great. I tried to increase the Cytomel dose to 5 mcg but it made me sleepy all day. I finally lost weight and my face looked really good. Maybe I should have continued
