Folate timing
Good morning, I’m taking folate as we’re trying for a baby and I’ve read this is better than folic acid. My question is do I need to take it at a different time to levothyroxine? I take it 30 mins to an hour after, but I’m not sure if it’s like iron and should be several hours apart. Many thanks for

TSH and Levothyroxine help
My TSH in November 2023 was 6.92 mlU/L whilst on 100mg Levothyroxine. My GP increased my dose to 125mg. Repeat TSH March 2024 is 0.106 mlU/L. Awaiting my GP appointment but wondering how an additional 25mg of Levo has taken my TSH result from one side of the normal range scale to the other?

Hello, all! I may summarize a bit. I was "diagnosed" underactive/hypothyroidism from age 14 and given 100mcg Levothyroxine at the time. I am 43 yrs old, I have weened myself off 16 days ago. Feeling so relieved mentally. More clarity, little to no racy or unnecessary thoughts...So peaceful in a sense

Really low TSH
Hi, I have been on Levothyroxine for about 2 years. I started at 25mcg and have now been worked up to 100mcg. I had a recent TSH check and it’s come back as 0.05. I asked at the reception and was told this result but there was no one to discuss it with. I was called by a nurse the following day. They

My latest results were TSH 1.28, T3 4, T4 20.4 I’m told my conversion rate is poor at 5.1. It’s suggested that I take 2.5 mcg 3 times a day to begin. If I feel ok after
