How to Stop Medication
Hello, I am desparately wanting to come off my thyroid medication, been on it too long, in my view, but no dr will help me. I am very keen to try to heal my thyroid condition (if I actually have one) with a good diet or change of diet. I believe it is possible, but the medical profession seem to want

Hi all, Feeling somewhat relived that my latest medichecks test shows my TSH has increased since Jan (same dose - 75mcg) from 0.9 - 3.38. T3 and T4 remained fairly constant (see attached) For the first time I also got TGA tested and they are high, my TPO antibodies have always been negative. So at least

A little update
Hi all, I just thought I'd give a little update as I've not posted here in about a year and just possibly my experience may be of interest. I am not in ANY way invalidating anyone else's condition or treatment, this is just my story. For years I have struggled with low mood, lacking 'oomph' in life.

Has Anyone Tried Ashwaghanda For Anxiety?
I am feeling very anxious atm. I keep getting a thumping heart, pounding in head/ears with feelings that something is about to happen. This has been going on for pretty much 2 weeks. I have nothing to be stressed about other than my head wound from my op in February that is taking time to heal. I saw

I would like to ask…
why it is that during hypothyroid treatment, new symptoms seem to crop up along the way? When I first started levo, along with the usual levels of joint pains and aches I’d had for a while, I developed the most excruciating hip and groin pain (had to use a walking stick)that lasted a couple of weeks

Levo increase effects?
I have been ill with low thyroid symptoms since the start of April. Thereabouts April 24 ish I started an increase of levothyroxine from 50 to 75. I've been starting to feel better extremely slowly from feeling ill but I can't tell if that's the meds increase or just what would have happened anyway.

Levothyroxine question
sorry to have to write again. When I visited the endo last week she put my prescription up from 100mg to 100mg/125mg on alternate days. I have just been for my prescription and not only did they give me a different brand of 100mg from Teva to Accord but they then gave me Lockhardt for the 25 mg tablet

Help! Thyrogold out of stock!
I’ve just been online to order ThyroGold and the 300mg is out of stock. I have enough left for 10 days and have no idea when stocks will be replenished, although I have messaged Tammy to find out. I have some left over Levo but other than that I have no idea what to do next. Any ideas gratefully
