Levo Dosage Help
Dear all, Please can I seek your advice on Levothyroxine dosage? I realise now that I haven’t really helped myself with the approach that I have taken to my medication dosage changes, but I’m new to this and am learning! Following diagnosis of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, I was advised by my GP to

AMA - Anti - mitochrondial Antibody

Cholesterol
Where can I find reliable information regarding cholesterol levels. I am in the US and cardio specialist who is also a lipid specialist is confused due to so much conflicting info for people with PBC and cholesterol. My LDL is high, so is my HDL and my Triglycerides are normal. I don't have any heart

Advice please
Please could I receive advice on these latest MMH private test results. I increased T4 to 100 mcg from 75/100 ten weeks ago due to low T4 (for me but within range) now T4 abnormal. Palpitations were the main reason to increase and these subsided once I did. All protocols followed on timings etc

Back Again
Hello everyone, sorry in advance for the mammoth post. I was last on this forum about 7-8 years ago in 2015/2016 after my previous symptom free asthma flared up badly and left me very sick (back on inhalers, steroids, and multiple hospital admissions). We managed to get my asthma back under control

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

Latest Test Results
Hi Everyone Following on from my last post and medication change a couple of months ago I have now had my latest results. Test was taken at 8.30am with last meds taken 24hrs beforehand. I have been on 75mcg levothyroxine and reduced my T3 down to 25mcg p/wk (split into 2 x doses) as free T3 was over

How should Levo dosing work - a 101 explanation needed please
sorry my brain is mush. I have read a lot of posts, tried Dr Google etc. I could do with a really basic explanation to help understand what my Endo is likely to talk about this week re: Levo dosing. what I think I know… Levo replaces what’s missing, T4. This results in lower TSH and higher T3 (assuming

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

Incorrect testing advice from clinic - BFN at 9DPET
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience as me in terms of early testing. I was instructed to do a pregnancy test today by my clinic which is 9 days post double FET. My test was negative so I informed my clinic who rang me two hours later to say they had given me the wrong test date

What does T4 do?
I've been treated for 25ish yrs for hypothyroid & take T4 & T3 (self sourced.) My TSH is suppressed, which makes perfect sense to my non medical slightly addled brain. Of course my previous GP didn't like it and because I refused to stop my T3, slowly took away my T4. I've been dealing with B12d for

Endo changed meds - T3 only to T4/T3
For decades I've been on T3 only with various doses, for the last six years on 40mcg a day. I got called into the prescribing hospital yesterday & the head professor endo told me that I must change to 50mcg of T4 and 20mcg of T3 a day. I'm very nervous about how I will fare on that combination. This

Determined to get t4 & t3 tested by nhs
So, followed the different courses to pursue this issue. Finally found the right PALS to complain to. Explained to them all of how I have been stuck on a low dose of levothyroxine because my tsh was high normal. How the GP is blocked from even requesting a T4 test thus won't prescribe more. Quoted
