New Year New Bloods! It's time to titrate! Please help!
I made it to 8 weeks. This feels like a long post - I have both Thyroid and Iron issues to work out... I tried to make it shorter, but did not succeed, so here is a 5 bullet summary first.
TL;DR: Got results I didn't quite expect:
- I only changed a wee bit... + 12.5 on the levo
Changed

Extremely upset
Has anyone ever been told they can't have a levothyroxine increase until their tsh is over a five. I'm currently at a tsh of 1.77 with a range of 0.36 to 3.74. My free t4 is 1.01 Rage is 0.76 to 1.46. Feeling exhausted with the low free t4 but being refused even a boost from 125mcg to 137. Any reasons

Side effects after a dose increase?
Hi, I have been on levothyroxine for around 18 months. To start with, my results were always 'subclinical' with my TSH around 5. I was symptomatic (cold, fatigue, puffy, aches) and prescribed 25 levo which was increased to 50 after 12 weeks. I was left on 50 for around a year and then bumped up to 75

Pending Hysterectomy Advice
Hi everyone, I’m feeling anxious to write here, it’s only tonight I thought maybe something like this might help, alongside those who know and are experiencing the same as me. I’m due to undergo surgery for a hysterectomy in December, and am now starting to feel incredibly anxious. Sorry for the essay

TSH rising inexplicably
Hi, I haven’t posted for years because things had been as stable as they could be for someone with ME, but in the last year my TSH has gone from suppressed on T3 only therapy to high ‘normal’ to just over ‘normal’ to my latest blood of TSH 7.86. Sorry this is a long post I am a complicated case.

Latest results and problems raising dose
TL;DR - should I continue to try increasing my NDT dose slightly (from 1.75 to 2 grains per day, split dosing) based on the test results below, though I am getting some symptoms after increase (mild anxiety, hot flushes and sweats, and palpitations)? Further info/details below the results Inflammation

Research paper about T3/T4combination treatment. What happened there?
I became aware of this through "Endocrinology Advisor": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38124252/ The link to the paper was not given. I found it myself. "Conclusions: Six months of combination therapy with twice-daily LT3 dose adapted according to TSH-level do not significantly change peripheral tissue

Help with how to proceed
Delighted to report that after 6 months trying and trialling different levels of Eltroxin, I have at last persuaded the GP to agree to adding t3 back into my prescription. I’m not sure how best to take it though, whether to reduce eltroxin or not. And the GP really didn’t know but gave me 10 Thybon as

GP vs. Endocrinologist
I am under the care/supervision of an endocrinologist. I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid over 20 years ago. My GP is aware and agreed that my endocrinologist takes blood samples and “tweaks” my dose of medicines accordingly. My blood test results from the Endocrinologist on 11 July 2023

Doctor recommendation needed
Hi All, After a year of painful meetings liaising with my NHS endocrinologist, I had enough. She reluctantly prescribed T3 but did not really bother about following up or testing vitamins or overall health. My GP tries but he is clueless on thyroid related issues other than where normal TSH should be

Hashimotos, just starting Levothyroxine
Hi all, I have been feeling exhausted and not myself recently and my GP did a raft of tests to see if there were any obvious causes. I tested positive for Thyroid peroxidase antibodies and my TSH was elevated at 4.7, so they retests and it came back 6.3 They've agreed to start me on Levothyroxine

Thyroid - updated bloods - advice
Good morning, Just had the attached bloods back from Medichecks and wonder if anyone had any advice before I return to GP to discuss. I took the test at 7:30am after fasting overnight and within one hour of waking. I’ve put columns for previous tests in April and September for comparison. TSH

Brands of T3
Hi everyone I hope you’re all keeping well. Please could someone advise on the brands of T3. I was prescribed privately T3 in October & what an amazing difference it has made to my health. I was on Sigma Pharma 5mcg x 3 per day for two mths at a cost of £125 per mth. I then went on to Thybon Henning

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

secondary hypo and doctor questioning diagnosis
Hello everyone, I moved to a new GP in the last few years (house move). When I moved, my doctor just continued prescribing levothyroxine because it was on my records and although he wasn't testing T3 he did look at T4 and seemed to listen to me when I explained the levels I needed to be at, in order

What is your thoughts on this??
I always do my thyroid blood tests by 9am with the standard protocol talked about here…. Im on 100mcg T4 and 10mcg T3 . I fast for all my bloodwork no matter if it’s required or not UNLESS I know Im not having thyroid test… anyway When I followed the protocol here on my Thyroid test is shows my TSH
