Experiences with

Barium test

Hi Everyone, I'm about to be started on Methotrexate for Psoriatic Arthritis. I'm hypothyroid and currently take 125ug Levo daily. My question is does anyone have any experience of these two things in combination? I know about taking Folate with Methotrexate but not sure about what it might do to my

This study from 2023 was done by the team in Cardiff... Peter Taylor, Aneela Arooj, Stephanie Hanna, Vinay Eligar, Zubair Muhammed, Mike Stedman, Lakdasa Premawardhana, Onyebuchi Okosieme, Adrian Heald & Colin Dayan.

As requested here are the results of my second attempt at Monitor my Health at their more sophisticated tests with thyroid, anemia/ ferritin, b12/ folate etc too. Most failed to produce results as Post Office 24 hour tracking show the blood sample was literally sitting in the Exeter sorting office for

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please?I'm not on thyroid meds, but keep eye on thyroid due to Tsh up & down. Thyroid tested at Drs April,but 9.30/non fasting due to being fitted in for neuro symptoms for b12. Results then were TSH 1.53 (0,35-4.94) T4 12.2 (9-19.1) I've now done yearly fingerprick check

so I’ve been on levo for 15 years and have hashimotos . Around 3 years ago I was added t3 too. I still feel awful and would like my GP to change my levo to a different brand maybe? As all my symptoms seem to be inline with my levo and the side effects. Has anyone had success with this ? I would really

I’ve been working with a private gp to see if t3/t4 will work better as I appear to be a poor converter I have had some improvement in fatigue and mood symptoms but the severe muscle tension has come back, The doctor is German and she says it is common to test rt3 and if it is high to consider t3

My doctors have prescribed Levothyroxine and Synthroid for me in the past. However, both meds drastically increased my blood pressure to dangerously high levels, landing me in the hospital emergency room twice. (This, even though I routinely take Ziac blood pressure pills, which have kept my bp steady

first time poster here, 37yo M. I have been feeling exhausted for a long time now and been struggling with constipation. We can’t find a reason for this but my GP did some bloods that showed a normal T4/T3 but a TSH of 3.7 which is the upper limit of the normal range. I have been begging to trial thyroid

If possible could     greygoose     TiggerMeor anyone else offer some much needed advice. A few weeks ago I reduced t4 to 75/100 over one week (high t4) I felt very under medicated so then increased again. I then changed to a lactose free make to see if accord was causing the acid reflux. Recently

Just received my results, doc. wants to reduce my levo from 75 to sixty something. Free T3: 5. 71 pmol/1 (3.65 - 6. 8) Free T4: 19. 00 pmol/1 (12. 2 - 22.0) TSH: 0. 01 (0. 27 - 4 .20) uIU/mL Any imput appreciated,

Hi everyone hope you are all doing well . I have a few questions which I’m going to apologise for long waffling post ? I’m feeling pretty low and rubbish at the moment .

My tsh 5.57 mlu/l ref range (0.27-4.2). Free T4 16.7 pmol/l. Ref range (12-22). I take 125mg levothyroxine Take better you vit d3 spray Igennus high strength sublingual b12 tablets. Thyroid support essentials Swansons 1 pill a day. Prolactin 172mu/l ref range (102-496) Oestrodial 247 pmol/l

just had a blood test back. The endo. part is concerning. Currently prescribed Levothyroxine sodium 100 microgram and Liothyronine 20mcg Thybon Henning 2x pd.(latter for past 3 months) From the get go i refused to take the full dose of T3. At the time of the test in early August, i had built up to taking

I have now had Blue Horizon Thyroid and Vitamin test results. Blood was taken 24 hrs after last Thyroxine and early in morning on Sept 3rd). I am on 75gms Thyroxine daily for Underactive Thyroid and am currently not taking any Vitamins or supplements. Vit D(25 OH)

Just wondering if anyone knows how you can tell if you are not absorbing thyroxine and liothyronine due to gut/stomach problems. Will your TSH and T4/T3 blood levels show you have enough hormone - i.e. will it still get into your blood but not other parts of your system. I currently have a diverticulosis

Serum vitamin B12:520 ng/L Normal range: 187 to 883 Serum folate: 3.20 ug/L Normal range: 3.10 to 20.50 Serum ferritin: 14 ug/L Normal range: 20 to 235 Serum TSH level: 2.37 mIU/L Normal range: 0.40 to 4.90 Serum free T4 level: 10.9 pmol/L Normal range: 9.0 to 19.0 Serum inorganic phosphate: 1.41

I recently write to my MP about the cost of T3. He posed two questions to the Govt. and I think people here might like to see them but I'm not sure how to share them. Any hints gratefully received as I really do no want to type them.

sorry meant to also ask has anyone found taking Ubiquinol helps T4/T3 conversion? Thank you!
