When to take Lio before blood test?
Hiya, sorry I have not posted for a while. It is a familiar story alas: hypo symptoms on Levo alone became very bad, eventually got referral to endo, started Liothyronine (T3) trial in Oct 2021, worked great, hypo symptoms improved rapidly. But now TSH is below range and my endo wants to reduce Lio

Hoping for advice
I have a blood test at 9 am today and took my tablet at 5.45 am by mistake. If I refrain from breakfast, will this at least help or is there no point now and should I eat as normal? Also, what will it affect, the TSH, T3 or T4 or all of them? My GP doesn’t normally test like this (he added it on

results comparison - question around conversion…
hi there I have posted a few times in the past - more recently about my private dr suggesting T3 medication route. After getting advice on her I decided not to pursue that at this time and instead titrate my T4 / Levo up a step (from 50mcg to 75mcg daily) - have just done blood test after 8 weeks

Giving levo another go...
Hi thyroid community, I have been diagnosed with 'sub clinical' hypothyroidism (due to autoimmune condition) in the last few years and my life has been shit ever since as I'm sure many can relate. I didn't get on very well with levothyroxine during my first trial, but I decided to persist giving it

Update to last post.
As suggested I wrote a request, via Patches, asking for a Gp to refer me to a private endo. I got an appointment for Today to speak to a clincian, who turned out to be a paramedic. He informed me that 'They' do not write referrals to private endos. I would need to approach one myself and if He/She wanted

Having problems
Hi, Managed to get myself somewhat stable after a crisis period in December/January, and felt the best I had in ages on a dose of 100 mcg, TSH of 0.07 {Range:0.27-4.2}, and T4 of 19 {Range 12-22}. not without symptoms, but better than 95% of the time on dose. T3 was not done despite request from

male hormones
Hi Ladies and Gents I wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can find a group/expert about male hormones? It’s for my husband, he has no thyroid issues, it’s about other hormones. He did a Randox test and it turns out he has elevated FSH, LH, Prolactin and Oestradiol. His Testosterone is ok, he is

Low TSH
Background I have a lifelong hereditary condition known as FAP. Because of this I have had several surgeries to remove my whole colon and rectum. In 2009 I had surgery to create what is called a J pouch, which is made from approximately the last 40cm of terminal ileum. Current issues. Recent blood

Tried Bovine Thyroid Supplement - feel very ill!
I could really use some help. I just started on a beef thyroid supplement this morning (Grassfed Beef Thyroid by Ancestral Supplements). And it looks like my body is reacting the same way it reacted when I tried 2 porcine thyroid supplements in the past - heart palpitations and severe fatigue. Although

Latest blood test results. Advice please!
Hello. I just wanted to ask some advice as the last two blood tests I have had showed a borderline underactive thyroid, but the GP won't do anything until the TSH is over 10. My previous blood test showed a reading of 5.9 mu/L. However, they decided to do yet another repeat blood test to rule out anything

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

Still can’t lose weight - on NDT for 3 months
My mother is severely hypo and was untreated while she was pregnant with me. I’ve been hypo literally my whole life, though I was misdiagnosed earlier in life until I figured it out myself 1yr ago after a couple miscarriages and 18 months of creeping weight gain. I take 120mg or 2 grains of Thyroid-S
