Struggling with hyper symptoms but hypo
Have been diagnosed for 25 years now. Feel as if I've never been well really, as put on a lot of weight, but have managed. Until last year. Suddenly started getting symptoms of hyperthyroid - palpitations, feeling sick, nervous, night sweats etc. Lots of testing done which showed cortisol was low as

New blood test results, low vitamins, advice please
i test every 6 months. I started taking Armour 1/4 grain in May because my consultant (listed in Thyroid UK directory) thought my FT3 was low in range. I had to change to Thyreogland (from a pharmacy in Munich) because i can’t get Armour delivered to France post-Brexit. I take Thyreogland twice a day

Anti-histamines
Hello everyone, just a quick question. I have severe reactions to insect bites to such an extent that I need to cover myself in jungle formula extra strength and have an emergency supply of antibiotics at home. The GP has also prescribed Fexofenadine 180mg to take each day. I know we need to take supplements

Accidental double dose Levo
Hi all, looking for some advice after taking too much Levothyroxine today, mainly how to get back to usual dosing again? I’m supposed to take 75mcg Levo in the morning and 5 mcg T3 morning and evening. Popped upstairs to take my 5pm dose of T3 today and realised afterwards, to my horror, I’d just absent-mindedly

Have I cracked it?
I'm not showing off here, there are a few of us members scratching their heads after having symptoms and signs of over replacement after careful titration and focus on gut health, adrenals, sex hormones etc, just sharing so we can all compare notes. Being over range came as a complete surprise and out

Hashimoto to Graves
Hi All, I have been lurking as a member for >8years following a diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I have been managed with varying doses of levothyroxine, follow a gluten-free diet and supplement with B12, Fe and Vit D oral sprays. Having gained weight during Covid, I decided to make a conscious

Sudden low TSh
Hello. I wonder if someone can help me please? I’ve asked my gp but they said they aren’t sure, which hasn’t helped! I’ve had Hashimoto’s disease for around 15 years. I’ve always had very similar blood test results and always been on 125 levothyroxine. Suddenly this time my tsh is really low.

Is it the Medication or am I Losing it?
Do you do daft things? This morning I picked up my toothbrush and instead of putting toothpaste on it picked up a tube of face wash cream and spread that on my toothbrush, as soon as the brush went in my mouth I knew what I'd done. Last week I took a carton of orange juice out of the fridge and poured

Worried about over-range fT4

low tsh but weight gain
Hi there! I’ve been told I have a low TSH . This is so disheartening after 8 years of being told it’s under active form Googling it seems now its now overactive? Is that possible? I’ve been on 125 m levothyroxine for almost 3 years now without problems, but now I’m experiencing weight gain, low mood

Rawr!
I don't know what else to say, laughing. Insert big fat sigh as well. I have zero understanding why my labs continue to be so off. The endocrinologist is going to accuse me of non-compliance yet again (I will go NOPE, NOPE & NOPE.) I take those little buggers in the middle of the night like a champ.

Do Thyroid meds have to be taken in the morning
I'm 55, lifetime sub-clinical hypo, on meds since age 10. Currently on 150mcg Levo and 10mcg Lio. Stable and bloods optimal. There is always inconsistent advice about when to take meds, GP puts on prescription that it should be taken at least one hour before any food or drink in the morning,

Bad Reaction to TEVA
I just had a bad reaction to TEVA Levo 50mg due to the Acacia Powder filler, GP changed prescription to Accord, but I also take Liothyronine (Morningside), I don't believe there is a brand of Lio (tablets) in the UK that doesn't contain Acacia, but that there is an oral solution. Does anyone have experience

Please could someone comment on my results, should I be concerned?
Hi all, I've just had results of a medichecks advanced thyroid test come back and am unsure what, if anything, I should do about them. I'm feeling ok, no particular symptoms of being hyper. I get palpitations (ectopics) but have had them throughout the year when TSH was high and they don't seem to have

Private endo strongly suspects I have PCOS
Hello, I have Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism and am on 162.5 mcg levo and 25 mcg T3. I'm slightly over medicated and trying to lower my dose gradually. Today I saw a private endo for the first time who looked at my fasting insulin (6.6) and said it shows I have insulin resistance. My testosterone is

can I cut tablet in half?
ive been on 25mg of levothyroxine for a few years and my doctor wants me to increase to 50. I was originally prescribed 50 a few years ago but my heart raced taking it so I was advised to take 25mg every 2 days then every other until I could tolerate 25. So I’m really anxious about taking 25 one day
