Hi. I have been struggling with chronic fatigue and joint pain for almost 12 months. I have had Thyroid tested and all normal according to GP. I'm in surgical menopause and taking Testosterone, Oestrogen and Progesterone and all my levels are good for those so I'm wondering if it could be thyroid related

Hi all. I wonder if you could share your thoughts on my latest results. My levothyroxine has been increased from 50 to 75mg. I have had a very sore mouth and tongue for over 12 months and was hoping if my B12 levels increased and my levothyroxine was working well, it would go. It hasn’t. My B12

just wanted to see if everything is normal….
good morning, or afternoon…. I’ve only been dealing with hypothyroidism a short time, most just feeling exhausted, at the beginning had many other symptoms and of course weight is an issue. I am attaching two screenshots. One is my last TSH results, as those are the only tests my GP would do. Yesterday

Cost of a full thyroid panel v TSH alone
We often hear of patients being refused a full thyroid panel due to cost. Can anyone tell me the cost differential to the NHS as I suspect it may be minimal.
