Graves disease and RAI
Hi I was diagnosed with Graves disease 16 months ago. I have been on carbimazole on reducing doses and T levels were almost normal but then went up. So I am now on 15mg per day. They asked me to think about radio active iodine. I am very unsure about this. From the little I have read it can make your

Why does the thyroid produce T3?
As we all know, the thyroid produces T4 and T3. Given that the body converts T4 to T3, why does the thyroid produce T3? I once asked Prof Weetman this - he admitted he didn't know.

Some evidence to take to Gp needed please.
Hi,My mum is 80. For the last year and a half her Gp has reduced her medication from 100mg to 75mg and then 50mg. My mum is now falling asleep and tired, she lacks energy and is very achey. She has Copd and osteoporosis as well as underactive thyroid. I asked her to get a copy of her last couple of years

Full list of autoimmune tests I got
This has come up in various threads, so I figure it's worth posting. I got all these in search of severe then-unspecific neuro/immune troubles. There are always more tests, but this covers a good set. -- The ones with ** are esp common rheum tests : ------- PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS SERUM CK

Direct measurement of T3 likely vital say researchers
This may have already been shared but I just came across an article about a new study that has stated that "It is important to note that the more typically measured biomarkers for thyroid function (T4 and TSH) are poorly linked to free T3 levels," Lawton and colleagues wrote. The ratio of TSH:T4 explained

Thyroid Function tests still vary between manufacturers
I've sent this paper to Lyn at TUK as it's behind a paywall. It shows how little progress has been made on harmonising test results between manufacturers' products. You would think that if numerical tests are to be used, the medical profession would insist on equivalent results wherever obtained from

Strange results! Would value opinions.
February 2022 on 125mcg Levo TSH 0.04 (0.27-4.2) FT3 5.22 (3.1-6.8) FT4 19.1 (12-22) January 2024 125 Levo 3mcg Lio TSH 0.0008 (0.27-4.2) FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8) FT4 18.1 (12-22) After about a year adding Lio why has my FT3 lowered ?! Seems very odd. I mean I do feel quite a bit better. Still a slump

Hyperthyroidism symptoms

Private endo
Hi, I’ve found a private endo that works at a hospital near me, Professor Parag Singhal, apparently according to his blurb he uses NDT and other combinations. He’s not on the Thyroid UK list as far as I can see, so just wondering if anyone here has used him? If you have and can give me feedback of your

Disappointing phone consult & raised TSH on meds
Been waiting 5 months for a phone appt since getting a letter from my Endo asking me for bloods (Aug last year). I’ve been keen to speak to them as I’ve been feeling rubbish for most of last year. Had a TSH of 5.34 which is massively up for me - usually 1.x, even though I’ve been on lio and Levo for

Q re Levo not "topping up" natural thyroid hormones and side effects of overmedication
I've been prescribed levo recently and am currently struggling to work out what does works for me and doesn't send me into a jittery, irritable mess. I can't remember blood test results exactly but something like 6.8 TSH and low T3. All my other bloods were fine. I've been on a super healthy diet and
