Elvanse Vyvanse for ADHD & anxiety - Are these side effects normal or is it the wrong med?
Days 1, 2, 3 of Elvanse felt INCREDIBLE. Like a fog lifted - happier than i remember being in yeaaars with so much motivation and energy to get stuff done. Also waayy more sociable. ...but weeks later I don't feel nearly that amount of stimulation and I'm trying to navigate side effects/increased anxiety

Just recived letter of endo appointment 🤔
Hi everyone ❤️... Just recived the letter that tells you the surgery are referring you to an endocrinologist at Newcastle, no idea at the moment who that is.But I've popped a few pointers to discuss with them, mainly the awful symptoms on both the T4, T3. We I hope, will probably discuss alternative

Taking Biotin prior to full Blood count

Could This Be Thyroid?
I know what you're going to say... do these tests and just wait and see... I'm very anxious with symptoms right now and just looking for some thoughts. Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some

Still having symptoms of hypothyroidism despite medication - any advice?
I wondered if anyone could please share their thoughts on my situation. I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism around 8 years ago, but didn’t have any symptoms (apart from some fatigue). Then, after contracting COVID in 2020, I began to have symptoms like 30-35lb weight gain (unexplained),

Eye problems following catheter ablation
I am now 10 weeks post catheter ablation.Following the procedure I developed aura migraines daily for around 10 days. The fact sheets explained that this was a possible complication and should rectify itself, which it did and 🤞 I have not had any migraines since. I have now developed a bloodshot patch

Need advice
Been feeling tired/exhausted for years. Weight gain, cold all the time. High cholesterol - being treated. Palpitations. A lot of these symptoms I have read can be due to thyroid problems. Had a private blood test done. Results are: TSH 3.71/ Free T4 14.3/ Free T3 4.5. I know these are within range but

First Private Blood Test
This is my first post to this excellent website, and I hope someone can help me understand my first private blood test - fasting, last levothyroxine 26 hours previously. No B12 supplement for three weeks prior to the test. I did find it difficult to get sufficient blood, this being my second attempt

Diagnosis
Hi, I'm perimenopausal and my hormone dips have thrown up digestion, hyperosmia, brain fog issues and because of lack of appetite I have become malnourished and very low on ferritin despite trying the super heme from 3 Arrows. I've had some private bloods done. Notable results are:- T3 2.97 T4
