Vit D tips please
I have been taking 20 mcg Vit D in 1 dose for some time now Latest D results are 92 (50-160) As it’s a water soluble vitamin, which clears out of the body quickly with water, is it better to split the 20 mcg dose into quarters and take 5 mcg 4 times a day? Thanks for your tips Persevere

Vitamin recommendations?
Hello all. Just doing some research as alongside an underactive thyroid, my vitamin levels are very low. Does anyone have any tips of particularly good vitamins to take, as I’m sure I will need stronger than a standard multivitamin! Have added my levels for reference. TSH 6.51 (R 0.27-4.2)

Is this hypothyroidism?
Hello, a friend just had some thyroid blood tests back from Blue Horizon and I wanted to check with you if you think they're hypothyroid. I'll ask permission from her to post the results in detail but for now I can give a basic overview. Background info, she's often tired and cold, and has mental health

Blood test results and feeling "off"
I did my quarterly thyroid test last week, having brought it forward a bit due to feeling "off" - feeling very tired and lethargic, no libido, muscle weakness...this is despite stable thyroid levels that most would say look very good. Also had a lot of back and neck pain, which has been treated by an

Annual Medication Review
I would be very grateful if any of you lovely people can give me some advice. I have received a text from my GP surgery to book my annual medication review appointment, I can stretch this out for about 5/6 weeks if I need to. I was started on 50 mcg of Levothyroxine in December 2022 and had it increased

Worrying test results & a rant
I’m about to start IVF and just has my day 3 tests repeated - came back as through the roof AMH (115 pmol) and high estradiol (397). My latest ultra sound also showed signs of polycycstic ovaries (>40 AFC) I was told in January my AMH was low at 6 and my AFC was 14… my AFC then came up as 40 on a test

Blood tests & upcoming endo appt advice
I had to cancel and rebook my endo blood test last minute as they messed me around with my endo appointment- so my latest blood test wasn't done pre 9am with 24hours from last dose. I had no choice but to go with the blood test offered at 11am unless I moved my endo appointment. I had taken my thyroxine

Has anyone experienced INR fluctuations while holidaying in the Mediterranean?
I am in Greece, different climate, different food, swimming etc. I will have my INR checked on Monday and wondering how much it will be different. Apart from food and drink, I read somewhere that vitamin D can influence INR. What has been your experiences?

Oh dear 😤
I’ve spent an annoying few weeks feeling dizzy, falling over, being sick and slurring my speech, feeling confused. No fuel in tank at all. BP spiking inexplicably. Still trying to get this sorted out at Primary Care Level as waiting list in secondary care in NW England is longer than my life expectancy

HbA1c has gone down!!!!
Saw the diabetes nurse yesterday, my HbA1c is 63, down from 88 (not sure when it was 88, but who cares!) I've been on Ozempic for about a year, but couldn't get any for several months due to the shortages. I'm back on it the last 3 months and have gradually increased to the 1mg dose (which it was I

Does sore throat come with hypothyroidism and Hashi?
Hi All, I've had hypo for over 2 decades and manage it with thyroxine, diet, supplements and lifestyle. Never had any long-term sore throat issues, however it all started this February, when I went through a lot of stress, my thyroid went out of balance and I was struggling with increasing my meds

Tommy’s miscarriage testing
Hi all, Thinking of getting my doctor to do a Tommy’s referral for my recurrent miscarriages. They don’t put much on their website about the blood tests they do to help pinpoint a problem. Can anyone who has seen them for early recurrent loss and implantation failure give me an idea of the blood tests

Feeling woefully undermedicated……
Hi everyone, A friendly nurse practitioner agreed to run some blood tests for me this week. I remain undiagnosed. I’ve been using Metavive since January and have been trying to switch over to Thyroid S for a couple of months. I’m finding it very difficult to increase my dose (unpleasant side effects
