Medichecks ferritin results and ranges
Hi all. I don't have a thyroid issue (this has been ruled out), but someone on the PAS forum suggested I post a query on here to see if anyone could shed light on this issue. Having accessed my GP records late last year I discovered I had a long-standing ferritin deficiency, as defined by NICE guidelines

New to Levo, question about TSH aim
I've been taking Levo 50mg per day for 3 months, and just had the first blood test result back. My TSH is at 2.85, and they are saying that I should stay on this dose and get tested again in a year. The last test before I started medication (January) my TSH was 8.6, T4 12.8. Both were done first thing

Return of Armpit Odor - Yikes!!!
For almost two years, I (and others! 😃) have noticed the absence of male armpit odor. Attributable to full ADT (for metastatic PCa) and suppression of testosterone. (I'm on Triplet Therapy.) This morning I was surprised to notice odor for the first time since diagnosis. Due shortly for blood panel including

Further advice needed from you lovely people.....Please
Some of you will remember my recent post about my private blood test results and a scan which showed I have a very small thyroid......... Test results shown above, all vits and mins were ok. On advice from some of you knowledagable people, I increased my Levo by 25mg and informed my Gp and endocrinologist

FasFasting before blood test
hi, following my last post, my gp has agreed to add B12, ferritin etc to my annual thyroid review. I've been told here to not take my usual morning dose before the test;however, looking online most medical websites say its not necessary to fast. Anyone care to clarify for me please. thanks

PMR since July 2018 and down to 1mg. Enter GCA
My Bio is pretty well up to date, until a week ago. Quick summary of things is: I'm ok, vision ok, diagnosed with GCA, and I've gone from 1mg (nearly done...or so I thought) to 60mg. Now on my third day of 60mg and waiting on new bloods I did today and a call from the consultant tomorrow to discuss

Confusing Lab Test Results
I had a recent PMR flare that necessitated my temporarily going up from the 5mg I had tapered down to to a much higher dose. 20mg for 2 weeks, followed by 15mg for one week and then a drop to 10mg, where I have stayed for almost a month before I resume DL’s slow 5 week taper. Fortunately, my increased

Silent Reflux? Is yours scary?
Initially I could just be having a drink of water from a bottle and suddenly spray the water straight back out of my mouth. No warning. No previous symptoms either. After a scan and blood tests that were fine, in a week it stopped. 3 months down the track, the left hand side of tongue and under tongue

B vits
I think I need to start taking b vits again as feeling very foggy brained, apathetic etc. I stopped as ineggus b complex seemed to be exacerbating a pain under my right rib. I stopped taking them and the pain ceased. I tried one tablet again last week and the pain returned. I’ve had a chest x ray and

experiences with seasonal changes?
If you have taken thyroid hormone replacement for some time and your levels are pretty much settled please can you share your experiences with seasonal changes? Do you find you need to reduce/increase your doses seasonally? What signs apart from blood test results indicate this if so?

Positive mitochondrial antibodies m2 but normal liver enzymes
Hi members, just after a bit of advice please. I have hashimoto's and due to blood tests which were requested by my endocrinologist, positive mitochondrial antibodies m2 were found which he says could mean it is primary biliary cholangitis. I went for an ultrasound and I am due to have a consultation

Thoughts on T3 dosing please.
I take T4, alternating days with 100 and 125ug. Also T3 15ug each day. All in one go at 5am (I set an alarm). I know you guys have said consistency is key with T3, because it has a short half life. However quartering the tablets to get 15ug (3/4 of a tablet) is awkward. So I was thinking, cogitating

Hi Everyone Sorry for long post. I am so confused now. These are my thyroid blood test results, unfortunately I never know when the district nurse if coming out to do the blood test so I can’t leave the recommended 24hrs between Levothyroxine and blood test. I took my Levothyroxine at between

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These
