Levothyroxine dose
Hi my son has hashimotos, & has worked out that he needs 200mcg levothyroxine each day to function okay.He has suicidal ideation & emotional intensity & this dose helps him feel more stable mentally . The problem is his tsh arent showing he needs this high dose anymore so the gp has decreased it to 125mcg

skin itchiness, hives & Hashimoto thyroid
i have been having severe itching & hives on my legs in the evenings. Recently, i . Had a skin prick test, i was pricked with 50 needles, dr didn’t find any allergy. Recommend Allegra when needed! Reluctant to take meds unless absolutely necessary! I was on Levothyroxine 50 mcg , switched to 50 mcg

Anyone experienced HbA1c increasing after starting T3, and increasing more when Levo reduced, does it settle , is it temporary
hoping to find out, if it will eventually right itself when thyroid issues are treated optimally. I think/hope it might but would be good if others have any experience references that could back up my intuition. I was px venlafaxine early 2019, had never had any blood glucose issues before that. Lipids

Advice re symptoms
Levothyroxine was reduced late September 23 from 100ug to 75ug due to TSH 0.03. Have gradually been feeling the effects of this it seems. Now feeling very tired, not thinking straight - brain fog, reduced appetite although crave chocolate (didn't know reduced appetite was symptom until very recently)

types of thyroid meds
I have been looking at types of thyroid medications, and wonder if anybody has used desiccated thyroid instead of levothyroxine? I will be seeing my endocrinologist tomorrow and suspect they will put me on medication. When I had my biopsy, the nurse told me she has good news and bad news, the good news

D mannose
I wondered if it's OK to take a maintenance dose of D Mannose close to levothyroxine? I take levothyroxine before bed and would like to take D Mannose in the evening too.

dose increase?
Good morning I’m looking for a bit of advice about whether I should increase my Levothyroxine dose now, or wait a little while. I currently take 125/137.5 alternate days. I took a test after 6 weeks and have attached a picture of the results. I also had an iron panel done at the same time and, as per

Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

NDT UK
Can anyone advise where I can get NDT in UK? I was taking Thiroid by Nature Pharma which worked well for me, but they stopped making it a few years back. I got as batch of Thyroid-S (4 x 500) which does not agree with me as well but still way better than Levo. My supplies are running low and I am struggling
