Please enlighten me!!!
I have not had labs since 2023 and needed new RX. The following are results from 4/11 at which time I had not taken any thyroid meds for one week. I had really been concerned about the possibility of heart issues due to over 6 months of extreme fatigue, inability to do even light excercise, shortness

Cholesterol unexpected increase
Had cholesterol checked in October and total was 3.2. Was checked again yesterday and it had increased to 4.5... completely shocked as despite Christmas nothing in my diet has changed in months. I take Atorvastatin 40mg daily and for past 12 months my cholesterol has been stable. My only thought was

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

What should my optimal vitamin levels be please?
Hi there, I’m trying to get vitamin levels up to hopefully help with poor conversion. Iron was low and I’ve recently retested for that after supplementing for about 3 months. Ferritin is now at 65 ug/L Folate has dropped from >45 a year ago to 8.5ug/L My question is what should they ideally be?

Post ectopic pregnancy
Hello, new here. Just wondering if anyone else had trouble conceiving after having a salpingectomy? And how long it took post surgery to conceive again? Im 36 and have only had one pregnancy in a year and a half of trying, it was unfortunately ectopic. Not sure if we should keep trying or go to our GP

walnuts
hello, I’m post breast cancer treatment and on tamoxifen. There’s been a bit of thyroxine wobbling as I started that so being monitored. I’m eating more nuts, particularly / including walnuts (good for Bc) for extra protein as I’m exercising and lifting weights. how long would you wait before

cost of t3
hi all I have been on thyroid sicca and my gp will no longer prescribe it. I am going to go private to try a t4/t3 combo. I did this once before and did well on it. I realise I will have a long drawn out battle to get this prescribed on the nhs. I wondered what prices people have been paying for it

Octasa / Mesalazine - Should I be seeing more of a change?
Hello. I have struggled with symptoms for 2 years - loose, frequent bowels, always with urgency, fatigue, etc. Had colonoscopy and relevant tests and doctor says that I likely have crohns and is treating me as such. I had steroids for 3 months which generally helped (though my calprotectin was higher

Hi I was taken off Carb 15mg on my last visit to GP on Dec 8th as I complained that my voice had changed and I was struggling to get out of bed. He looked at my results taken 23.10.23 which were TSH 7.85 (0.27-4.20) and FT4 10.5 (11.0-25.0) I assume the GP had done this incase of over medicated for

T3 Uni-pharma
Happy New year to all! I have been a member for a few years now although I haven’t posted recently. I have been taking levothyroxine for over ten years and about 3 years ago I starting adding a very small amount of t3 which I self source. My question is, have uni-pharma stop producing t3 all together

Dr Harvinder Chahal
Hello, I’m exploring Endocrinologists for a second opinion. My existing Endo is brilliant however I want to get an opinion on something before starting treatment for elevated blood sugars. My medical insurer has suggested Dr Chahal based in London. Anyone have any experience with him, particularly

Adrenal Saliva Testing
It has been ages since I have done one of these tests. I feel since being on T3/T4 the last few months it would be helpful to have another one. Has anyone any recommendations and can point me in the right direction to order one. Thank you :)

Looking for help :(
Diagnosed with hashimotos. I’ve had a few ongoing issues and symptoms and they’re getting worse. My endo didn’t believe it was thyroid related or pcos related but arranged for other tests like ACTH, RF etc. He also stated at this point they were discharging me as there’s nothing more they can help with

Suspected Pernicious Anemia - what next?
Hello, I am very glad to have found this forum as I have been researching B12D and PA a lot recently. I became familiar with the society’s website and found it so helpful. I am 29F in the US and I suspect I have Pernicious Anemia. This is what I know so far (sorry in advance if this post rambles on)
