COPD & thyroid problems
After having what I thought was an elongated COPD exacerbation lasting over 8 weeks which has resulted in me taking 4 lots of antibiotics and 2 lots of steroids, it’s now been suggested that I may have a thyroid problem. I always felt the problem was in my throat region, with lots of throat clearing,

high TSH and high T4
hi, I’d be grateful for your thoughts on this one. I’ve recently had two blood tests, one on 11th April with a TSH of 8 (abnormal) but T4 of 22 (so still just normal but top of the range). Then another blood test 28th June also with higher TSH of 11 and T4 high but normal at 21. I’ve had Hashimotos

Erfa thyroid blood results confusion
Hi I've been on erfa for a few years now. I am on 3.5 grains. My bloods show up as being under replaced high TSH but when I try to increase my dose I get all the symptoms of being hyperthyroid. Can anyone help me to understand what's going on please? I'm considering switching to a combo of levo and erfa

When to take Medication, Vits and HRT?
Hi All Please can you give me some advice? I would like to begin taking Estrogen (Lenzetto spray) and Progesterone (Utrogestan) again. I am fearful though, when I began taking it last time my TSH went up to 28 so had to stop taking it. I was taking it a few hours in a morning after my thyroid

Advice on my non-existent TSH Please
I had radio iodine treatment 5 years ago after having Graves. I am on 75 and 100 Levothyroxine on alternate days (a low dose I know). I was given additional T3 med lythothyronine 18 months ago, 5 mg twice daily which improved my quality of life no end. My thyroid levels have been fairly steady over

Hashimoto’s Dr’s Reply - help needed please
Bloods above - is anyone able to help me with a response to this letter please? I have asked for my levo to be put back up to 150 and they have refused - I have previously posted that I regularly don’t get meds I can take, brands are changed regularly - they often give me meds I have reactions to so

Amoxicillin
I have to take anti biotics 3 x a day for 5 days. I take thyroid meds at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Could someone help with how I fit my anti biotics in between thyroid meds? Thank you.

why does our thyroid suddenly become less effective?
I was almost 54 when a blood test told me I had a less effective thyroid and since this time last year I’ve gone from 50mcg to 75 and now up to 100 to see if it can get to the right level. I’ve been a serial dieter for 30 years and have blamed this. My Father had a goitre most of his adult life that

Hi all, I’m so confused… I was Diagnosed as sub clinical hyperthyroidism December 2022 then in may 2023 hyperthyroidism. Negative for Graves’ disease. Started carbimazole in July 2023 on 20mg per day, gradually reduced down to 5mg every other day and then stopped in February 2024. Consultant said

Half a Thyroid better than none?
I have had Long Covid since March 2020. Investigations showed the right half of my Thyroid was enlarged. I was told all thyroid indicators were fine and that my disabling LC symptoms had nothing to do with my thyroid. Eventually, four years later the stars aligned for me to have an operation. That was

Can You Refuse Certain Blood Tests
I had a consult with a Livi doctor last week for non thyroid related issue, he wanted me to have a load of bloods done. I've checked online and see what he's ordered. It includes B12, which is pointless as I'm on jabs and have been for years, so B12 always very high. ( the lab always moan and point this

Strep A and thyroid
Could strep A cause problems with thyroid? I had massive problems with throat in the spring and was dismissed by GP, but because I couldn’t get rid of it for 2 months she eventually did a swab which came back positive for strep A. Has anyone had a similar experience?
