Subclinical hypothyroidism
I was always told I had secondary hypothyroidism and suddenly my clinic has me listed as subclinical or mild hypothyroidism. How can you be on levothyroxine 137 and be listed as mild? Is this a new label after twenty years?

NDT taken at same time as Trospium - issues
I hope this is OK to post here? Taking NDT at the same time of another medication may have implications. I’ve been on NDT for the past few months, replacing Levothyroxine. Having been taking Levo first thing in the morning, I continued with taking NDT at the same time. So, having taking Trospium

My sis newly diagnosed and prescribed 75 mcg Levo but GP refuses to test free T4 or antibodies.
Hi my sister has had TSH result of 5.3 (0.3-3) and has symptoms and been prescribed 75 mcg Levothyroxine. GP refuses to test for free T4 or antibodies. I don’t think she should take the tablets until she has a baseline free T4 tested and antibodies. What you think?

upping meds in pregnancy plus vitimins.
I went to my GP in very early pregnancy (4.5-5weeks) as had cramping and spotting, and also arranged bloods, as I knew I should be monitored as high risk with hashis/hypo. So on the 1st March my TSH was 0.13 mIU/L but after discovering I was pregnant and going for said bloods on the 18th March - I was

Amiodarone and pre-existing hypothyroidism
I was wondering if anybody has any experience of this. I have persistent Afib which we’ve stabilised after several cardio versions and an cryo ablation but as soon as I come of Amiodarone revert back into Afib. I’m awaiting a thermo ablation and hope that this will allow me to come off this awful medication

TSH dropping, but FT4 stuck
I started levothyroxine on 10th August on 25mcg, then went up to 50mcg in September, then 75mcg Nov and I'm now alternating 75/100mcg every day. My TSH has dropped considerably, however my FT4 has got stuck at the very bottom end of normal and doesn't seem to be rising despite me increasing the dose

facial and neck swelling part of Hashimoto’s?
I have a doctors app booked for this week but at the weekend my sister noticed my face was swollen. She also agreed my clavicle area was too (I’ve previously posted a pic here). She took some pics for me which I’ll post and you can really see the difference from when it’s swollen vs not! She said it

Any information about Levothyroxine, pros & cons please.
Hi could anyone give me any information on which is the best tablet to help with Thyroid. I have tried previous tablets in the past but these cause me to have severe anxiety. So the actually issue isn't that I have too much or too less thyroid, I have been told the pituitary gland is having to work harder

please could someone advise on my results. I’m currently taking 100 Levo and 5 lio. I’m taking a private prescription for the lio but am attempting an IFR with the NHS as I don’t think 5 is enough and it’s too expensive for me to buy. My weight continues to go up and I’m convinced it’s because my medication
