Do I reduce to 50 or 62.5mcg Levo?
Hi, could I have some advise please as to whether I should reduce to 50mcg or 62.5mcg of Levo? My last two blood tests show a low TSH and high T3 (most recent below and previous ones on my profile). TSH .01 mIU/L (.3 - 4.2) -7.4% Free T4 (fT4) 15.4 pmol/L (9 - 19) 64.0% Free T3 (fT3) 6.2 pmol

Hair loss
Hello again. Just had repeat blood tests to check I'm on the right dose of Carbimazole. I have been diagnosed with graves disease and have decided to take the tablet route first. I've noticed a massive amount of hair loss in recent weeks and was hoping it was just my tablets that needed altering

Affect of exercise on Thyroid levels
Hi everyone. I, realised back in March that my long suffering with nerve pain had got considerably better. I don't know why it suddenly reduced. I'm just really pleased that it did! I decided to get my health and weight under control as I am now able to exercise. I started doing three or four walks

New blood results - Need advice
TSH: 1.82 FT4: 19 (11-23) FT3: 5.6 (3.4-5.9) I was on 225mcg and lowered to 150mcg. These blood tests were after 16 weeks on 150. I took two weeks off of 225mcg then started 150. I feel awful. Terrible fatigue and brain fog. Was told I possibly had a thyroid storm. My FT3 has never been this

Help understanding blood tests results please.
I have dyscalculia and subsequently struggle with understanding the numerical results from blood tests. Can anybody advise on my latest blood test results, what do they mean? I’m Hypothyroid & I’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto's too. My endo is only ever concerned about my numbers being “in range

Poorly controlled hypothyroidism and a susceptibility to viral infections.
My T3 was on 19% on my most recent test. In the space of a few months I’ve had almost every virus . I’ve had flu A RSV and now Covid with very high temperatures. Before I started this journey on levothyroxine I was never ill rarely had anything at all. This has completely floored me I’ve never been so

Roseway Labs
hi, I can’t afford to pay my local pharmacy price for my T3 any more (£97 for 28). I’ve asked Roseway Pharmacy for a quote - I have a private prescription for 6 months supply. I’d be really grateful if someone can please advise me if they buy from Roseway Labs and if all is fine as they require photo

Results Fine!
After years of having low vitamin levels and low end T4 results it appears all is now fine! Thank you to SlowDragon for suggesting private blood test.

Figuring things out - first year since diagnosis
Hi, I'm posting here as I don't know anyone in real life with lupus and have been struggling to work out what my expectations should be in terms of symptoms. I was diagnosed just over a year ago following about a year of strange symptoms - GI issues, weight loss, Raynaud's, mouth ulcers, hand and wrist
