diverticulosis, itis, IBS etc
Hi everyone, I’ve taken note of discussions on here regarding gut issues vis a vis under active thyroid. Does levothyroxine of itself also cause gut issues? Many thanks.

Switching from Levothyroxine to Liothyronine
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I haven’t written on here for a while as I’ve been feeling quite well so hope you don’t mind me coming back to you now. Although I feel good on my current dose of thyroxine and definitely don’t feel I’m taking too much, my endocrinologist wants to lower my thyroxine

Haven't tested since last July. Wanted to test again end of last year but pharmacies kept messing with my meds so I had to keep waiting for things to settle down for a few weeks Latest results on 125mcg Levo and 10mcg T2 split dose. Levo taken 24hrs before, 5mcg T3 taken around 4pm and 5mcg T3 taken

Hungry?
Can a levothyroxine increase from 50 to 75 make you hungry on the first day? I am so hungry today and have very rarely been hungry in many months.

newly diagnosed help with results
Hi, I was diagnosed hypothyroid a month ago and prescribed 25mcg Levo which I’ve been on since then. They wouldn’t prescribe anything higher as my tsh was suppressed < 0.001 I’ve just had my results back from my test this week and I’m not sure how to interpret and feel like they’re gonna try and take

New test results after NHS ones
Hi I got some good advice after being dispirited last week by 'normal' results from my GP. I got a set done by Monitor my health, hope you can read them. My question is, should I go back to my GP and ask for an increase in Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg or is that not going to help my T3 - which is presumably

T3 side effects
I’ve recently seen a private Endo and been prescribed T3 as she said I wasn’t converting my levothyroxine properly. I’m now taking 150 levothyroxine and she started me on 2.5 mcg of T3 3 times per day. Very quickly after that, I broke out in painful spots, felt jittery, hungry, anxious and exhausted.

Two brands of levo?
So, I have been on 50mcg almus... Finally they have increased it to 75... But they've given me 25mcg tablets that are Wockhardt. Is it going to cause me issues using two brands to make up the 75mcg?

I’ve just got my thyroid results back from a blood test I had yesterday, I have a lump near my scar from when I had a thyriodactomy about 36yrs ago. When I had the blood test I had my 150mg of levothyroxine. The test has come back normal. Results attached

Levothyroxine concerns.
So I’m about to start 50mcg of Levothyroxine as a trial. I have subclinical Hashimotos. My concern is if after taking the thyroxine for 8 weeks if my TSH comes into normal range but I’m still suffering with symptoms, my GP won’t increase the dose. I asked and they confirmed this. I don’t understand

Hashis question
After nearly 13yrs of being hypo I did an at home test to check antibodies, but I've not got much of an idea if the high antibodies are really high or just a 'normal' level for having Hashis? I've never had a goitre, was told I had a few nodules on the RHS of my thyroid when I was first diagnosed.

Change of levo brand to Aristo any problems anyone?
Hi, I have found that I'm sensitive to a change of brand and Aristo is now the only brand of levothyroixine at my local pharmacy. Since changing from Accord 2 1/2 months ago I've found that I've been having repeated headaches and weight gain. Also my blood pressure is scarily high. I'm aware this
