Hypo symptoms but doctors unsympathetic

Have been checked over by ENT and also had an endoscopy which

Happy New Year! Newbie, posting results for help/advice please following my “shock” post in December
Still trying to digest everything from my December diagnosis of Hashimoto’s and advice given. Instead of adding to my previous post I thought it better to begin a new one to incorporate my blood results that several of you kind people requested. I still cannot fathom that I need to take medication for

Thyroid scan advice and recommendations please
Good Afternoon everyone 😊 Thyroid UK recommends London Private Ultrasound Clinic. Please could anyone who has used them private message me with your experiences, good or bad, or anything I should be aware of beforehand? I'm thinking of having a scan with them as I will be in London for another reason

Could a member please explain the T3 feedback loop?
Hello, I have been on NDT since June of 2021. I am currently taking 175mg of compounded thyroid. About two hours after taking my thyroid capsule I often feel hot and sometimes a bit anxious ( like being overmedicated) but in the afternoon I am out of gas. My cortisol is high in the early morning, good

test results on 2 and 3/4 Thyrogold
This is my latest blood test which is good and bad. Happy that my vitamin levels apart from D are good (no supplements for 6 weeks prior) but my levels for T3 and TSH are bad the worst I’ve had since taking NDT. Yes it was done in the afternoon (15.40) but I was of the opinion that it needs to be 8-12

Help with timing of NDT prior to blood tests
Hello. Would any of you knowledgeable people be able to advise me of the best time to take NDT prior to blood tests. I take Armour 1 grain twice a day. The first is usually around 6am and the second around 3pm. Does the same convention for blood tests when on Levo and Lio apply to NDT? Is 9am still

Suppressed TSH and new chest pain
Here’s the long version: I’ve had my own Hashimotos under control for 15+ years with
Armour
thyroid
. I’ve talked my primary care doctor into prescribing
Armour
, allowing me to adjust slightly when symptoms shift slightly, as long as the T4 and T3 bloodwork is within range.

Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

Exercise and Low Thyroid: Am I doing more harm than good? Advice, please!
I would like to ask about having low thyroid levels and doing exercise. I have hypo symptoms, and blood tests show low FT3 and FT4, but normal TSH (for reference, last blood test results are below). So far, no doctor or endocrinologist thinks I have any thyroid issue. One of my symptoms has been unexplained

3 months post-partum - advice on these results?
I was diagnosed with hypo right before I found out I was pregnant last August. Levo was awful for me, so I switched to NDT and have done well on it. Throughout pregnancy, my TSH was optimal and T3 was good too but T4 was difficult to get optimal. I'm on 180mcg of NDT, split 90/90 morning and night

Menopaused. Would starting HRT mean reducing NDT? Has anyone experience of this please?

Latest test results
My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo

Advice on Thyroid blood tests please?
hello everyone, could I get some input on my brother’s thyroid results please as I am attending his GP appointment with him. He has had three lots of thyroid testing since December 2023 and I think the first two results indicated Hypo and I believe that he should have been treated. However, a third

The uptake results are in... and more confusion
I've received my uptake scan results today, which I was expecting to show a toxic nodule or few. Instead the report states..... There is uptake seen throughout the thyroid gland with relative increased tracer activity on the right when compared to the left, however, no focal nodule is seen. Thyroid

Preparing for GP appt
Hello I have a GP appointment in a few weeks to discuss blood tests results and symptoms (tiredness, weight gain, low mood, pins and needles). Based on what I've read on this forum, it sounds like these symptoms and results could be indicative of hypothyroid, but because TSH is within range I'm unlikely

T4 and integrin receptors
I've come across integrin receptors mentioned in a few papers recently where t4 seems to have some activity (generally its assumed t4 is not an active hormone), so was interested to read the following paper. This is yet another good reason for t3/t4 combination treatment. "Preliminary clinical evidence

First time poster overwhelmed with symptoms and considering self-medicating with bovine adrenals & NDT. Asking for advice & recommendations
TLDR: First time poster diagnosed Hashimotos and POI, investigating IBS which is potentially also autoimmune cause. Fatigue, depression and anxiety are ruining my life. Low Adrenal Index Test results so considering self-medicating with Bovine Adrenals. High TSH and anti thyroid antibodies, but low-end-of-normal
