Levothyroxine dosing
HelloI have hashimotos hypothyroidism. I was just wondering if it is normal for my TSH and antibodies to keep going up until correct dose is achieved or should I still see it coming down with each dose change? Thank you 😊

Recommendations for private consultant and thoughts on Hashimotos & pregnancy / miscarriages
hi all, recently seen an endocrinologist privately who had diagnosed Hashimotos (high TPO and inflammation on thyroid on ultrasound). Minimal symptoms apart from 2 miscarriages I’ve tried levothyroxine which made me feel very unwell for about 2 months and her only suggestion was to try a different

Cytomel makes me emotional
I take levo and cytomel, numbers are good. I split my cytomel in 2 and take it after breakfast and in the afternoon. I have noticed that a little bit after I take a dose of Cytomel I start to feel very emotional and often start crying. After the crying I feel better, but this is so strange. Did anyone

Help Please!
Things just keep going from bad to worse with me. So sorry for the long post but I really need some help because I don't know what's going on I really don't and I don't know how to try and balance things anymore, it's all beyond me now. Near end April this year I did a full panel, rather than link

Why does Paul Robinson insist there’s no such thing as adrenal fatigue and T3 will fix low cortisol. It certainly hasn’t in my case .
I’m currently using armour thyroid at 2 grains and feel bloody awful. Same old same old symptoms I get when I try to increase Levo or Levo/t3. My adrenals suffer. I know it’s adrenals because I’ve been doing this for almost 5 years now. Really surprised with his info/advice which makes me doubt everything
