Testosterone gel for menopause and it's effect on thyroid hormones etc.
I've recently had an increase in Levothyroxine from 100mcg to 125mcg on alternate days. I've also been given a private prescription for testogel, which I've not started yet as I wanted to wait until I see improvements (I hope) with increase Levothyroxine. I want to know if taking the testogel will knock

Kidney function and hypothyroidism?
My hypothyroidism was finally acknowledged six weeks ago. I've been on 50mcg daily. I've just had the first blood test since starting treatment. My fT4 has 'risen' from 8.8% to 9.3%. My TSH has dropped below 1 (0.7) for the first time according to blood tests going back to 2007. I'm a bit disappointed

Has anyone worked with Functional Thyroid Care?
My GP has withdrawn my 25mcg Levothyroxine he only just prescribed about a month ago on a trial basis because my TSH is fine. The only way I was able to persuade him to let me try 25mcg was I took him printouts from all the thyroid forums I am on and he also is aware that I have been complaining about

Introduction and some initial questions
Hi folks, I've ended up here as I was given some routine blood tests when I started with my health insurance (I'm British but I live in Spain) and it was discovered (rediscovered?!) that I have Hashimotos'. I was first diagnosed with this maybe 15 yrs ago when my kids were little. I was breastfeeding

Due to stroke 18 April (clot) my mental cognition/compression is faulty!! Would appreciate some help/feedback re:thyroid test results.
Hi all, it's difficult finding the words in my muddled brain post stroke to write this post so please bear with me if I get mixed up with words. Prior to stroke my levo dose was 75/50 alternate days with addition of 30mcg of EFRA daily. When I was hospitalised with stroke I did not manage to take EFRA

Out of range low T4 but normal TSH and T3
Hi all I was on Levothyroxine for sub clinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy. My son is now 4 months and I have been undergoing multiple blood tests to establish what the course of action should now be. My TSH and T3 are within range but my T4 is very low. I will attach results and my ranges to this

Drs appt today
I saw my primary Dr today. She says she thinks that 50 mcg of Levo is all I need but added 5 mcg Cytomel. I explained my continued symptoms and she said definitely no more Levo. She will order labs and I go back in 2 months. I asked about ferritin but not sure what she is ordering. She sends the lab

Overmedicated on Levothyroxine
I've been overmedicated from 50mg to 75 for 5 months and started having hyper symptoms. Has anyone gone through this? I have felt sick, anxiety and heart palpitations for two months. Dr just took me off meds last week. Feel a bit better but worried I caused long term damage. I'm scared.

Can I justify Armour?
Without the GP's knowledge (and after advise on here) I came off Armour for a month in order to falsify my results so that the GP would stop getting so upset about my suppressed TSH in the hope that he would continue to treat me with a combination of T4 and Armour which I've been on for 20 years. Following

Blood Test Results
Hello, I would be grateful for some advice regarding these results. The background is that my Levothyroxine dose was reduced from 100mcg to 75 in early February 2024, due to a TSH only test which was below range. By late March I could barely function so I had a private test prior to the GP's TSH test

T3 Dose
I've just received my T3 prescription and nervous to start after reading through posts on side effects! I'm on 125mg levo, no thyroid for 13 years and poor converter. My endo put me on 10mg twice a day, but having received good advice on here, I understand that I need to start on a much lower dose. My

Levothyroxine - saint or devil?
Help please. I had thyroiditis some years ago (lost 2 dress sizes - great) but then went hypo. I was first prescribed levothyroxine 75mcg, later increased to 100mcg. However, since starting the meds, I became heat intolerant, gained far too much weight and am always exhausted (not menopausal - went

Can I take my Levo &T3 at night with Progesterone?
Hi All, I’ve just had my HRT prescription changed - more estrogen and separate progesterone pills to be taken at night (have been on combined patch for 3yrs). I feel much better when I take Levo at night - do we know if progesterone interferes with Levo? Gynaecologist recommended progesterone at night
