However, I became aware of gradual fatigue, and anxiety, and hot flushes. I went to my GP to ask if I could be going through the

statins & underactive thyroid
I had a cholesterol reading of 6.9 and was told this is too high. The nurse asked how I felt about going on statins although she said I am low risk due to my lifestyle & diet. I’m not keen on going on statins because I heard that they are not good to take if you have an underactive thyroid. Also was

Thyroid Test Help
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's) in 2017. Hashimoto's runs in my family. I think my primary doctor originally prescribed 50 mcg levothyroxine and when I got in to see an endocrinologist he upped this to 125 mcg and after a few months dropped it down to 75 mcg. I took 75 mcg daily for

Starting T3
Today I saw an nhs endo who agreed to prescribe a 3 month trial of T3 (liothyroxine) From previous post and advice on here I believe I am a poor converter. He wasn’t entirely sympathetic and disagreed with most things I said. His views included ‘no point in testing T4 or T3 as it’s too variable, only

How to obtain NDT (e.g., Armour/ERFA Thyroid)?
Hi, I have autoimmune hypothyroidism and I'm currently taking levothyroxine (25mg), but I've read that some people prefer taking NDT. I'm thinking of getting a prescription for NDT from a private UK doctor, but I was also wondering if I could get NDT from a reputable online source without a prescription

Brands levothyroxine
Hi everyone, I've been taking Mercury Pharma levothyroxine for a long time but my pharmacy can't obtain it so have given me Teva. My last experience of that was not good. I know Teva wasn't well tolerated by some members so is there another brand I could try? Thanks for any help.

New Symptom or at least an exacerbation of an old one: pulsatile tinnitus.
Recently attempted another crack at taking T3 without too much success. In between times, can’t be absolutely sure exactly when, I have developed a new symptom I would like to check to see if anyone else has experienced similar. Two years ago after commencing with a new prescription of levo at 75mcg

After sending my private blood results to Dr refused to increase levo had phone appointment, kept insisting TSH suppressed & danger of osteoporosis. I tried to keep calm to explain my thoughts & where I'd research my information. Dr then asked which lab I'd used & where was it..... Quite upset/annoyed
