endocrinologist
hello Does anyone know of a good endocrinologist in the UK who’s open to prescribing NDT please? Reasonably priced with a holistic understanding of health. I’ve always had the thought that I might feel better on something else than levothyroxine only. Took NDT years ago and felt much better, also

I was starting to feel a little better, then........
Following the advice given in reply to my first email 3 months ago and using all the knowledge I have learnt from the questions and answers in the blog, I spoke to my GP and she agreed that I should increase my Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg. She also suggested that I should try Magnesium in the evening

negative test but confusing clinic advice.
We had our 6th cycle this month. A FET with grade A embryo. I tested 11 days post transfer it was BFN. I continued to test 12 days and 13 days post transfer and it was BFN on a home urine test. I contacted the clinic to explain that we were negative and they said because I haven’t seen any period

Tumors Shrinking!
Brave Bold Cancer Thrivers, I am ER+, HER2 negative and I, finally after four months, have an oncologist I just love (she's so thorough with everything and very kind and caring), and my treatment is working! I am on Ibrance and letrozole and in only 2 months majority of the tumors have shrunk in half

Medichecks ferritin results and ranges
Hi all. I don't have a thyroid issue (this has been ruled out), but someone on the PAS forum suggested I post a query on here to see if anyone could shed light on this issue. Having accessed my GP records late last year I discovered I had a long-standing ferritin deficiency, as defined by NICE guidelines

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

FasFasting before blood test

Early morning blood tests
I see on other posts that an early morning blood test before 09:00hrs is suggested for an accurate reading. I went to have bloods taken yesterday morning at 08:55hrs for ferritin. My phlebotomist found that my blood flow was a bit on the slow side... but ok for the lab test. She thought she might have

Low TSH & Low T4
Can anyone help please? I was recently on 75mcg T4 and 20mcg of T3 but still felt low energy, dry skin, hair falling out, low mood etc. Doctor did a TSH and T4 test and then phoned me to reduce my T4 to 50mcg. My TSH was 0.023 and my T4 was 8.2. The reduction of T4 meds made me very ill, I crashed

Latest test results
My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo

Possible Overmedication Woes
I switched to T4/T3 combo in December, I'm self sourcing Tiromel. I was at that point taking 200mcg of Levo, felt okish but felt T3 could be higher it was 5.2 on a range of 3.1-6.8. This was a private test in October. I didnt want to add more Levo so following advice decoded to try some T3. Added 6.25mcg

Low phosphate levels linked to hypothyroidism?
Hi all, I am under close monitoring for my kidneys by a renal consultant. I had severe acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by sepsis last year and am very slowly improving. At my recent six monthly blood test, my phosphate levels had dropped and they are now below range. The trend for this has been dropping

Endocrinologist dismissed my results are they right?
Hi, I had an appointment with an endocrinologist that came highly recommended. I went in with my results (see below) and was told I don't have a thyroid problem so don't need any medication. However, he wants to keep monitoring me and asked me to test and send him my results every 3 months. I was told
