BBC Article : Prescription drugs sold online without robust checks
Whenever I see this type of article - the BBC and others produce these things every couple of years, I think - I start worrying that I'm going to lose access to thyroid hormones on the web. I know this subject came up with the MHRA last year or the year before, but I don't have a link. Link : https:

Update following meeting with MO
For those following my journey, I had a face-to-face meeting with my MO today and learnt a few things I didn't know. Firstly, the genetic test of the liver tumour the NHS do only tests for BRCA - no other genes. The reason appears to be that the only treatment they would offer is a Parp inhibitor so

Medichecks results
I finally got my medichecks results and am a bit confused with the results. March 22 the GP tested my tsh and it was 1.88. I am very surprised to see it has gone up so fast. Also my t4 & t3 don't look as low as I was expecting. Medichecks results : Test taken on April 17, 7am, empty stomach. Tsh:

Considerations when starting out with private endo
Iām thinking of going to a private Endo. Looking at the list, thereās none in my county. I can travel half hour to one thatās just private and he sounds good but that means if I do get T3 and it does work, Iāll be forever paying for it (I donāt know costs yet). Thereās one thatās NHS and private

advice, thoughts please, feeling rather desperate?!
hi I only got one response to my recent post which was so kind but no feedback so am trying again as Iām a bit stumped. Iād hoped going on NDT would relieve fibro symptoms and generally help me feel better, and give me more energy, but despite latest test results I donāt feel that much different. Certainly

T3 stopped š”
Hi everyone ā¤ļø As some of you may know my gp stopped my T3 until I saw the endo on Dec 27th which didn't go wellš .. My gp said I would see the endo before my T3 ran outš this of course never happened so she gave me one months supply to tide me over. The appointment with the endo was for thyroid medication

GP advice needed please!
Hello, I was (eventually) diagnosed with Hashimoto's 25 years ago (the misdiagnosis nearly killed me, I was literally a week away from a coma, the consultant said.) I've been on 150mcg on day one and 175mcg day two, for 25 years. Every time I move house, the gp decides to reduce it, then puts it back

Low B12 and ferritin questions
Over the past year I have had frequent respiratory infections and when not ill, I am always exhausted. I often need to stay in bed on my days off recovering. Alongside the exhaustion and frequent infections I have dealt with nausea and gastric problems which I always thought were due to IBS. I faint

liothyronine
Hi. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2005. My thyroid and para thyroid glands were removed. I have been on Liothyronine ever since. I was monitored by an oncologist until 4 years ago, and now by my GP. I had been taking liothyronine 20mcg x 3 times daily. My GP has tried to reduce this to 20mcg

medicheck results, what to do next?
I have posted my results before from Medichecks and I persuaded my youngest daughter to take the thyroid and vitamin test recently due to her symptoms of lethargy and the fact that not only I have hypothyroidism but also her Dad and older sister. Her iron plus Vit D were all low so she is now taking
