Advice on referred blood tests
As per my recent post, a GP (not my usual) is on the band wagon to reduce my levothyroxine due to a suppressed TSH. This became suppressed a few years ago when I tried T3, although I've always been towards the top of range (until now it seems) and it made no difference, so I stopped it. My usual GP

unstable tsh levels
Last year, my TSH levels went berserk . I was successively under treated then I had an overload of replacement medication-Levothyroxine. From October to June, my blood tests were abnormal despite 4 changes of Levothyroxine doses . Once this was sorted, I had a severe reaction after a swim in cool water

Another battle
Just back from GP, having won another battle to get my Levo increased. It is so tiring feeling that I am really pushing to be given drugs. Conversation went like this: Me: my symptoms have worsened so I did a private blood test, the results show that my FT43 and FT4 have lowered and my TSH has increased

How to convince your GP a suppressed TSH is ok?
For years I’ve had a suppressed TSH following a trial of T3 probably 5 years ago which didn’t work and I haven’t taken it for around 4 years (need to check my records for exact dates). My GP has always been fine with it, and even the rubbish NHS endo agreed it would take time to recover - or as I know

Anaemia
I have graves disease but GP only tests TSH levels and T3. When I saw GP due to rapid heartbeat, breathlessness and muscle weakness he did full blood test and said I was anaemic. I take 5mg of carbimazole- could this medication cause anaemia? Is this common in graves? I used to have thyroid blood tests

A year down the line and no further forward
Hi all, I was diagnosed around a year ago with hypothyroidism after weeks and weeks of dieting and exercising like mad with no results. I was dieting to get in shape for a knee replacement. My GP did blood tests which she described my thyroid as being “in my boots”. I started on 50mcg daily and

I have had elevated TSH for about 10 years and my GP did not seem very keen to do anything. I got a monitor my health test on the 12/9/23 and advanced thyroid check with Medichecks on the 11/10/23. The results are below and I would really appreciate any support. I have booked an appointment with one

Sertraline and contraindication
Background - I was recently started on levothyroxine after many years of not feeling well after having a private health screening through work which flagged up a higher than normal tsh and a low t4 reading. It seems that my tsh had been going up for a long time but was never flagged as it was deemed
