What do I need to ask my GP for full blood test
I was newly diagnosed in January this year with Thyroid peroxidase antibody level 109IU/mL <60.00 IU/mL which I believe means I am Hashimoto's! However my Plasma TSH level was not high enough to be medicated 4.38 mU/L 0.30-4.20mU/L I posted my January blood results previously. I have an appointment

Self treating with NDT, a little advice needed please.
I would appreciate some advice from those with greater knowledge and experience of NDT as I have a few questions: •How to do I raise my FT3? •Is it Ok for FT4 to be under range when on NDT? •Can I realistically expect to feel 100% again? Progress is annoyingly slow. 1st GP Blood test: 06/04/2016

Refused dose increase today
My Levo dose was reduced at the beginning of the year based on my TSH. As expected I have had severe symptom return, the worst has been dreadful constipation and fatigue, crumbled nails and low mood. I have struggled badly for 4 months now. This morning I saw a new and young GP who I hoped would agree

UPDATE - MY REPLY TO MEMAMBE
Hi, I am waiting on referral and tests (I am 66 years old). I am just like you I am sore to touch all over. I have had many falls due to foot drop and if I do fall it is excrutiating if anyone tries to help me up, I have to crawl to a bit of furniture to get up. I also have Raynauds & Sjogrens Sydromes

Is there still a right to see a named consultant?
Hello. Several years ago I asked to see a particular endocrinologist who prescribes T3. When I phoned his secretary re an appointment, she said I could not specify seeing him unless I went private. Fortunately, the TPA (Thyroid Patient Assoc) had reassured me that it was my right to specify who I

What do latest blood results mean?
Please could someone help me interpret my latest results? At the beginning of the year my GP reduced my Levo from 150 to 125 as she said I was over medicated. I did as I was told for 3 and a half months and at the end of that period was pretty unwell with fatigue, aching limbs, hair thinning, my fingernails

Joint Group Meeting at House of Commons with Lord Hunt
Very good meeting at the House of Commons yesterday with Thyroid Trust, ITT, Midlands Thyroid Support, Norfolk Thyroid Group, TPA, BTF and BTA. It was agreed that we would all work on a document with evidence for Lord O'Shaughnessy regarding CCGs not adhering to NHS England guidance on liothyronine.

‘Nu’ any experience with this company?
I have used this brand for
activated
charcoal
tablets and seemed ok. Wondering if the company is trustworthy or the deal is too good to be true as they often give years supply at discounted rates. Not sure how to check reviews for new companies- does anyone know if they are reliable?

Bloods! What is Luc and Iga? Also TSH suppressed
Hi guys, I got my recent blood tests back and the doc wants to see me. I think she might be freaking at the TSH result (She has prescribed me nature thyroid and thinks T4 meds are not good enough). She also said to bring in past results and if TSH is suppressed previously that's probably ok. But would

A very, very sad indictment of treatment for those who are hypothyroid but don't find the benefit of levothyroxine or remain undiagnosed
It is a letter by a member of TPA who wrote a letter to be given to the Scottish Parliament in support of the case of Lorraine Cleaver has before the Parliament at present. http://www.tpauk.com/main/article/jacquelines-own-horrific-story/

Socks for AFOs (available in the UK please)?

Antibodies increasing in spite of dietary changes
I've had my bloods tested before going to see a specialist next week. One thing that surprised me is that my antibodies have gone up: TGA: was 234, now 353. TPA: was 33, now 34.8. I was just wondering if anyone had an idea why this might have happened? I've gone strictly gluten free. I'm also on next
