Quality of life questionnaire for hypothyroid?
Hi there, I've literally been diagnosed with hypothyroidism a week ago and started levothyroxine today, and feeling quite irritated really as it's clear to me now I've obviously had this a long time. TSH is 14.7 which doesn't seem great from what I am reading. What eventually got it diagnosed was me

New blood test results, what would you do next
What do you make of this? Brief history, was over range in July, back under control Sept, levels dropping now...starting to feel it. Aristo Levo 75mcg per day 22 hours before, Roseway compounded T3 half dose (2 x 2.5mcg per day) 14 hours before. Biotin stopped 5 days before, all other vitamins maintained

kalms supplements
does anyone know if kalms herbal tablets affect Levothyroxine/thyroid? I am thinking of trying them to help with my severe anxiety but thyroid already all over the place 😞 Petrified of trying another anti depressant due to them making me feel so much worse when I’ve tried them this year.

Help with blood test results, please
Just received my blood test results as have been feeling really rubbish lately and cannot lose a single 1lb - in fact it just keeps creeping on. I am exhausted from trying and getting nowhere. And also just generally exhausted! :) Could do with your expertise please: TSH 5.13 miu/L (0.27-4.2) FT4

Any acacia free Levo?
Hi, I’ve been looking at the ingredients of levothyroxine for different brands and can’t find any without acacia added. Does anyone know of any available in the U.K.? Thanks

no help🥺
Recently raised Levothyroxine to 75mcg per day, from 50mcg. Still tired, can’t exercise. Only keep my job as I work from home, which is going to change soon and I need help. Been like this since 2014 and always told tests normal NFA. Paid for my own tests and found T4 low. Finally after years of trying

Osteoporosis and Levothyroxine
My osteopenia has become osteoporosis! I have been supplementing with calcium and Vit D3/K2 for years. I have to make a routine GP appointment, no doubt that will take weeks. My TSH has always been on the low suppressed side. Last test results TSH 0.05 (0.27 - 4.20) T4 21.2 (11.0

Insomnia - Could nightime liothyronine exacerbate it?
Hi, I've just read: https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/148510755/liothyronine-brands-and-insomnia. As ever the answer seems to be "it depends"! Some better on or off lio, some better at bedtime or on waking, etc. My sleep pattern is (roughly) one half-decent sleep followed by an utterly awful

T3 and Afib
My tsh only test hospital took is 1.98 in range. Range on blood test is 0.04-4 I saw cardiologist should have seen the EP but it said one of his team, he said an ablation was not really necessary as I manage my symptoms. And until my thyroid sorted I would just go back in. he did a tsh as all he could

very long story…. Need support.
Since a young age, I have had hyperthyroidism. I was treated with carbimazole for years and in 2021 I had radioactive therapy (a radioactive table) for my thyroid. This ended up killing it and now I am on level thyroxine. When I first got diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I believe my TSH was 60-ISH. Since

Nausea on Levothyroxine
Has anybody felt more nauseous in general after beginning Levo. I’m definitely feeling this way generally..I’m taking kefir etc that’s helping a bit but it’s not getting rid of it. It’s not a major thing I’m wondering if taking the Levo with food may help..I know this may affect absorption but could

subclinical - do I need levo?
I have been borderline Subclinical hypothyroidism for around 10 years. The GP put me on levothyroxine 2013, I took a low dose for a month or two but couldn’t tolerate it (palpitations), so I stopped. I was referred to Endo who did a check on my antibodies - was clear. Every year, my tsh was either just
