Hiya! Since my last post, my GP diagnosed me with an underactive thyroid. She started me on 25mg and recently increased to 50mg. I've just had a medichecks test done (mainly out of curiosity as they won't test my T3). Are you able to help me understand the results? Thanks in advance. TSH - 4.5 (0.27

Hashitoxicosis?
Hi I am new and I am confused by results and symptoms. I had an ultrasound which showed I have a bulky thyroid gland in 2012. I had a second ultrasound in 2015 which showed the thyroid was hypoechoic. Since this time I have a goitre that has been growing down into my chest and I was diagnosed hypothyroid

Help with Private Test Results
Hi everyone, I finally bit the bullet and paid for some private testing after the Lab kept refusing to do anything requested by my GP aside from TSH. I've just had my results back and was hoping someone knowledgeable on here might be able to confirm/contradict the comments made by the private GP? Results
