Thyroid function tests
Hi all, The GP has printed off a form for me to take to the hospital tomorrow to check my TSH levels. I’ve noticed on the form it says, ‘thyroid function tests’. Does this include T3 and T4? I know last time I only had a result for TSH. If so, do I need to fast? My test isn’t until 4pm.

Frequent injuries when exercising.
I have been hypo for about 10 years, currently on 75mcg levo, and 10mcg lio but drop to 5mcg twice a week, otherwise my heart rate goes up from 60’s to 90’s. TSH 0.01, FT4 16.1, FT3 4.6, both 41% through range. Vit D 85. I find if I do even pilates, ligaments and bursae get easily inflamed. Eg an ankle

Afternoon all
I am now off Carbimazole and my TSH is lowering steadily. My FT4 and FT3 are fluctuating though and wondered if there is anything i can ascertain from that or is it quite normal. I have adopted a gluten and dairy free diet in the last 4 months and feel like the brain fog has lifted. Last 3 results were

why would TSH be high
hi everyone why would TSH be high if t4 is ok, T3 is very low though. But I questioned did she take her Levo before hand or if possible lab contamination. Her t3 so definitely low. Thank you

Is it possible to obtain NDT without precription?
I got T3 for 20 years from a source abroad but that avenue is closed now. I'm trying to find and change to desiccated thyroid. Does anybody know where I could find it?

Got to laugh.. (urgent referral to endo😂)
Firstly I saw gp on Nov 9th she told me I need to be seen by an endocrinologist as urgent referral, she also stopped my T3 medication saying "you will get the feferal before your T3 runs out" this is because of your last blood work (hypo) 😂.I explained I've got around 7/8 days supply left🙄 just got
