How does synthetic t4 convert to the active t3 after a thyroidectomy?
Is it the same place & way if one still has their thyroid? Ie. When you all note that hormones given replace the thyroid, not top it up if the thyroid is still in place, does it then not matter if one has a thyroid for this mechanism? (Not discussing taking anyone's thyroid without obvious dire need

GP not doing regular thyroid bloods.
How often should gp do thyroid bloods please? My main thyroid problem is fatigue, it’s not there all the time, comes and goes. So, I would like them done every 8 weeks, as I try different combos of Levo, T3 and Thyroid S, till I feel better. However, mine doesn’t do anything at all until I chase her

New blood test results
Hi all, Please see my first results 6 weeks after introducing T3. I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg of lio. I am very confused because I was certain that my current symptoms were due to being undermedicated! And how can my T4 be top of range again despite me reducing my levo and introducing T3. TSH 0.007

Help with Thyroid results please.
hi everyone, I would be grateful for some advice on thyroid results for my younger brother please. I have Auto immune Hypo since 2004 and so does one of my brothers and my mum. My other brother has had lots of symptoms of depression and has deteriorated recently. He has high anxiety and slightly paranoid

Update on me.
So it's been a while since I posted here. Still waiting to see a pulmonologist. That will be happening in June provided there's no cancellations or delays because of industrial action. Had spirometry done both FEV1 and FVC were 91. Not indicative of airway obstruction. Relieving and frustrating at

Management of Carbimazole/hyperthyroidism and other symptoms
Hi all, I’m new here, I’ve written out my history in my profile including all test results so won’t go into too much depth. Essentially found to have hyperthyroidism in October and have been on 15mg Carbimazole a day since then. The doctor openly told me she ‘doesn’t know much about hyperthyroidism as

Had the ablation.
Monday I had the procedure under general anesthesia-safely and successfully. The did give IV cortef at the start of the procedure. Since they needed to intubate my throat is sore for days but my ears-especially the right one are achy. I was debating why aching now; pollen count is moderate,and my jaw

Confused and scared and looking for insights :-)
Hi all :) I'm a little confused about what's happening in my body and am in the middle of investigations. To cut my story as short as possible: - Last May and again in June I had a very subtle rash on my cheeks that lasted a day each time. It was accompanied with itching over my face, up the inside

Puffiness/swelling whilst Hypo
Hi friends, I’ve been hypo (Hashi’s) since 2008 and have been on a journey to improving my health. T3 has really helped as has improving my diet. One thing I have noticed is that on some days I swell up across my body. This is noticeable when I put on my watch, wedding ring and trousers: everything

Iodine deficiency, elevated TSH
Hi I'm new here in this forum. I'm from the Netherlands and due to celiac gluten free for over 10 years. Bread and processed salt are the main sources of iodine here, both I don't eat. A few months ago my TSH came back 6.9 and FT4 middle of the range, and the doctor wasn't helpful at all he was unreachable

Low Cortisol Symptoms Hid Lymphoma
Reduction of steroids—Extreme exhaustion, loss of appetite and weight, weakness, dry coughing, numb chin. All but the numb chin could be symptoms of low cortisol. A lower spine MRI to find a pinched nerve that had been hurting my glute resulted in an immediate call from radiologist to get to ER

Advice please!
Hi all, I’m new here, but I’ll try to be as brief as possible! I’ve been treated for Hypothyroidism since 2004 ( diagnosed by the late, great Dr Gordon Skinner by my symptoms and not the biochemistry thankfully) All well for past 19 or so years, on T4 125ug and then T3 4 x 20ug added gradually 12

New Consultant-Different Plan
Long story short- long battle to get diagnosis although received in 2019 and Hashimoto’s confirmed. After several attempts to stabilise on mono therapy I was lucky enough after several years of strife and illness to be allocated an endo who listened to me, took cortisol levels (low) addisons test (
