Urine/Cortisol Tests
I have now had my appointment at the endocrine clinic. The doctor was not really interested in my symptoms as I have ‘bloods normal’. He did not look at the comprehensive Medichecks blood profile only those relating to thyroid although the ranges are all good across the tests. After insisting

Can anyone help interpret my iron panel results 🙏
I managed to get my doctor to do a full iron panel due to my ferritin being at only 43 (20.0 - 130.0) I have attached a the results of the iron panel test, can anyone interpret these?? I am wondering whether to start back on my ferrous fumarate 210mg tablets…. I stopped these quite a few years back

Thyroxin and throat/ neck pain
Hi, I’ve been on thyroxin for four weeks now. I’m getting a weird ache in my neck/ throat, like it’s harder to swallow. It’s not painful as such, it just feels weird. Is this normal? Is my thyroid just adjusting to the meds? Thank you

Guess What!!!!!
The GP has reduced my T3 by 10mcg and replace with 25mcg T4 (levothyroxine) !!!!! (I'm stunned). As the majority on this forum are aware I've had no problems with T3 but I think this GP must believe that a combination of T4/T3 is superior.

should T3 make you feel worse?
good morning all, further to my post last week, I commenced T3 2.5. at the start of this week following 5 days reducing my levo from 100 to 87.5( as my T4 was at the very top of the range). I am taking the T3 together with my levo first thing in the morning. My question is how should I feel? I felt ok

Body feels on edge
I can only describe this as an inner unease, it’s physical and it is accompanied by a hissing in my ear, sometimes this eases and I can feel my body is more at rest but it can rave up before a headache. I feel it is my body looking for something/lacking - could this be my low thyroid hormones/T3?

NDT to T3 & T4 - brands, and how to transition?
I'm wondering how to make the transition from NDT to T3 & T4, specifically how slowly is it best to go and which brands of T3 & T4 are most widely accepted/least likely to cause reactions? I'm assuming I would translate my current dose of 1.75 grain NDT into the equivalent T3 & T4 and start on that?

So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to

What could cause such dramatic weight gain
I have currently been on .1 mg Synthroid and 5 mcg Cytomel for three months, and while the blue lips, freezing cold and fatigue are gone, my legs are super swollen and hard, my "weight" is up 20 pounds in two months (unexplained by diet / lifestyle). Nutrients of importance are almost optimal and still

Lanzoprazole and side effects
Hello, I am over 2 years past Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy and have been taking Lanzoprazole 15mg once a day, then Gavison at night. I’ve found that my folate and ferritin are low , probably caused by ppi use and wonder if anyone has managed to come off them. I know they have lots of potential bad effects

Help! Can't find a pharmacy that stocks Roma T3!
I've been ringing around pharmacies in Stoke-on-Trent and no one stocks Roma Pharmaceuticals T3, nor can they order it from their wholesalers!Are there any NHS online pharmacies that stock them? If there aren't any, I'm back to ordering Mexican Cynomel. Is there anyone that has recently ordered from

Not at the patients demand!
I have to share this anecdote. It makes me laugh, cry and despair in equal measure. After 8 crappy years with thyroid symptoms getting worse I put myself on T3 in November. On day 5 I woke up and said the words "I feel better" before my conscious had even engaged my brain. 4/5 months later I can sit

Newly diagnosed
Hello, I would like some help as I am new to all of this and feeling a little overwhelmed. I am a 32 year old female (66kg) I have had high thyroid antibodies for years and had a baby 8 months ago which has tipped my body into being hypothyroid. So I assume I have hashimotos although this hasn’t been

Small thyroid gland question......
What does it mean if your Free Thyroxine is low (10.8 pmol/L - 12 - 22 R ) and your Thyroid is small ? My Dr is telling me he is unable to except my recent private blood tests which is annoying as I sent bloods of to MediChecks only this morning to check my Thyroid Antibodies which are normally
