MCAS and LEVOTHYROXINE Nightmare
MCAS AND MEDS MCAS strikes again I can't take tablet or liquid levothyroxine as I've had the worst histamine flare even at 25mcg. Been in bed 4 days now crashing headache, body pains, inflammation, dizziness, fatigue all from 1 tiny dose of 25mcg liquid levothyroxine. What can I do ? I desperately

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

Understanding Thyroid Test Results
This is the first time I have posted on this site. I have had hypothyroidism for 17 years now and had yearly blood tests. I must admit I have never understood what the result has meant other than the GP saying it's satisfactory. My recent test was Serum TSH level 2.14 mu/1. This means nothing to me and

Questions for Endocrinologist
Today is the day, I am finally seeing an endocrinologist. Any suggestions of things to ask? Trying to be optimistic about the appointment but quietly cautious. Below are the questions I have so far: - FT3 measurement to ensure adequate conversion - Pregnancy monitoring and appropriate FT4 and TSH levels

Post-private GP update
Evening. A few people asked me to post an update following on from my visit to a private GP today. Well, it certainly wasn’t what I’d expected, which is to say I hadn’t expected much to happen other than another another blood test being needed and possibly a plan of action. What actually happened

T3/T4/TSH testing after starting T3
I've added T3 about 3 months ago and this is my first test so I want to get it right.I reduced levothyroxine and added 20mcg T3 and am now on (usually) 30mcg with 125mcg. I see levo should be stopped 24hrs pre test and T3 12-25hrs pre test unless peak T3 are required which they arent at the moment. Test

T4 not being increased by GP
Hi everyone hope you are all doing g good and still fighting for your health! Following on from my previous post. A new GP in my practise wouldn’t increase my levo to 100mcg until she had the go ahead from endocrinology. They have decided that I am adequately medicated and won’t increase due to heart

Latest Medicheck Results
I re-started Levo 7 weeks ago and these are my before/after results. I’m self medicating and also use 7.5 -10mg hydrocortisone daily. Without the HC I feel very peculiar and have in the past, stopped the thyroid meds because of it. I’ve managed to be fairly ok this time and I’d like some feedback on

I decided to try euthyrox (despite terrible reviews) and it’s like I just woke up! I am going to post new labs but I was wondering

TSH volatile over last 12 months 3.8-8.1. (Range 02.7-4.2). Taking the Levothyroxine (150mg) during the night to maximise effect. Doctor questioning how I am taking the dose and very perplexed why the volatility. Feeling jaded at these levels. After much searching I have just learned that no Iron

Hypothyroid - Vit & iron levels
Hello, As recommended by this brilliant group, I have had my vitamin and iron levels tested through medichecks. My results have come back all in range, thankfully, but I know that sometimes ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ isn’t optimum. Would someone be able to look at these please and let me know any thoughts

Skipping levothyroxine
Hi everyone, So I had a blood test arranged for tomorrow Monday at 9am (Blue Horizon Gold Thyroid) so following advice given here I skipped my 100mg dose of Levothyroxine this morning in preparation for the test. I've just been informed very late that it's now going to be Tuesday at 9am. My question
