Levothyroxine and food allergies. Is there any link?
Hi everyone, I was having a moment, thinking, or maybe overthinking, and it is a common discussion point about Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism and sensitivities to wheat and dairy, and advice to cease consuming these to promote wellness.Whilst I understand that anyone can develop an allergy at any age, it

just started levothyroxine today
I have hypothyroidism caused by thyroiditis (probably the postpartum kind) I’ve started my pills today. The symptom bothering me most is muscle/joint pain. Did anyone see a quick improvement in this after taking the drug? Does anyone have any experience with water retention improving? I have

In shock, TSH from 20.3 to 0.103!
hello, I posted a while ago as I was getting so concerned at the rate my TSH was increasing, I had increased my levothyroxine gradually to 175mg with no improvement, the last bloods and drs appointment I had I was given instructions to increase to 200mg which I believe is the limit for my weight. by

told to take 10mcg and 5mcg Liothyronine on alternate days but it isn't recommended!
I was seen at the Endocrine Clinic recently. The endocrinologist had requested bloods were taken the previous day by my GP, but I had taken all my thyroid medication (75 Levo and 10mcg Liothyronine ) at about 8am before the GP took my bloods but I did not realise at the time I should have withheld

New to Levo, question about TSH aim
I've been taking Levo 50mg per day for 3 months, and just had the first blood test result back. My TSH is at 2.85, and they are saying that I should stay on this dose and get tested again in a year. The last test before I started medication (January) my TSH was 8.6, T4 12.8. Both were done first thing

Further advice needed from you lovely people.....Please
Some of you will remember my recent post about my private blood test results and a scan which showed I have a very small thyroid......... Test results shown above, all vits and mins were ok. On advice from some of you knowledagable people, I increased my Levo by 25mg and informed my Gp and endocrinologist

Urgent help with results please
I posted last week about feeling terrible on T3. Exhausted and aching all over. I’ve just had my second lot of results back. The top pic are the most recent ones and the one before that were the results when I’d started on a lower dose of T3. I’ve now dropped my levo from 175 to 150 and taking 10mcg

Confused by 'levothyroxine replaces; it doesn't top up'
Hello all, I have Hashimoto's, and take 100mg of Levothyroxine. I've just ordered a bloodtest from BlueHorizon, as I'm wracked with fatigue again. Before I get the results, I was hoping for some clarificiation on the fact I've seen stated in some posts about Levothyroxine being a replacement, not

Thoughts on T3 dosing please.
I take T4, alternating days with 100 and 125ug. Also T3 15ug each day. All in one go at 5am (I set an alarm). I know you guys have said consistency is key with T3, because it has a short half life. However quartering the tablets to get 15ug (3/4 of a tablet) is awkward. So I was thinking, cogitating

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These

Lio/Levo testing protocol advice
On the advice of my (private) endo, I am currently trialling 15 mcg Lio (in 3 doses: 8 am, 1 pm and 6pm) and 75 mcg Levo 11.30 pm, and I need to re-test in a few weeks. I am wondering about the testing protocol, as if I test by 9 am, this dosing regime is the opposite of what’s usually recommended when

Generic Tirosint - Levothyroxine Sodium capsules USP made by Lannett - has anyone in the UK managed to obtain this medicine?
I would like to try Tirosint - to combine it with a trial of Liothyronine - I believe Tirosint is available from Roseway Labs on private prescription. But it's very expensive. I had heard that there was a generic version made in the US by Lannett Company Inc. Does anyone have any information about
