some not great news/ still a lot unknown
I’ve posted before about my first introductions to prostate cancer: primarily significantly increased PSA yr to yr (3 to 6+). Did the EXODX urine test and score came back 25.9 out of 100 (15.9 being the cut off to keep from proceeding with biopsy, so I figured I’d at least need to do that. ) Finally

Muscle pain relief through thyroid meds
I have a torn cartilage and osteoarthritis in my left hip. At night I have pain in my hip and back but after I take my T4 and T3 tablets the pain dissipates. Has anyone else experienced this? Or have any ideas about the mechanisms involved? Thanks in advance.

Am I over medicated?
My Free T4 always comes up low. I understand from this grp that this means I am over medicated. I do not feel over medicated, but am I doing myself long term damage? I currently take 45mgs of NDT & an extra 12.5mcgs of T3. (In one dose) each day. (& supplements) Thanks in advance.

Fine tuning dose.
Hi all, I've been feeling a bit 'meh' recently and after a recent blood test I'm wondering if I'm [i]slightly [/i]overmedicated[i]. [/i] Could also be HRT needs to settle. I can't decide so thought I'd ask the hive mind. :) 4th Nov - started HRT; 200mcg progesterone & 50mcg oestrogen. 26th Feb: 200

2 levothyroxine questions
1. The recommended dose for levothyroxine is 1.6mcg /kg of body weight. Are most thyroid patients on this dose? 2. If I wanted to switch from T4/T3 combination to only T4 medication to check if my conversion has improved after making healthy changes for a year, how long would I have to be on T4 only

Finally! My Thyroid Disease is Treated Optimally! :)
I just thought I would post my experience, prompted by my reply to a previous poster, who asked what they could realistically expect from optimal treatment. I think its helpful to see those that are happy on medication and their journey. I have been taking 75mcg of levo and 20mcg of lio daily for about

Latest blood tests
Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about getting all my underactive thyroid symptoms back, joint pains, fatigue, anxiety and others. I’d had test results saying my TSH was low, but the dr was saying that it was satisfactory. I managed to speak to another dr and she ordered full blood tests. My results

Levo being reduced, but feeling under medicated.
Hi, I would greatly appreciate some input on my test results! I have been hypothyroid for over 17 years, and have always adhered unquestioningly to the doctor’s guidance, assuming that they were doing all they could. Having found this site, however, I am starting to wonder if there is more that can

Update after Endo
Good morning, I'm just writing this as an update to anyone who may be interested in my seemingly-odd case... My Endo appointment went well. (Or so I thought but if you're learning from this post, please read the comments!) She believes I have Graves disease, despite the antibodies indicating Hashimotos

Feel rubbish am I right in thinking my dosages need adjusting? Blood results included
Am currently taking 25mg Levo & 10mg Liothyronine twice daily. Have been feeling increasing awful for a while with previous symptoms resurfacing. Had my recent bloods come back and told to continue usual dose until a review in 3 months time but I’m really struggling. Have told the endo this and awaiting
