Nosebleeds and thyroid / blood test query / going private
Hi there :) You were all so helpful when I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year, and I was hoping I could trouble you all with another question. - My levothyroxine was raised to 75mg a day in February based on my NHS blood test (TSH 5.91 mU/L, free T4 15.8pmol/L). - Not really sure if

Help with recent blood tests please
Hi all, Further to previous posts… Endo finally prescribed T3 5ug and had advised reducing T4 from 100 ug to 75 ug which I was reluctant to do as I felt so awful after reducing from 125ug on 12/01/24. Previous bloods taken on 22/02/24 while on 100ug T4 for previous 6 weeks : T4 19.5 ( 12-22 range)

T3 too high?
Hi all, Last time I had my thyroid levels checked I followed the protocol of taking half my Armour dose the night before my tests. The blood test was done at 9am and all was in range. This time my endocrinologist specifically asked me to have my blood tests two hours after taking my normal Amour dose

Trying too many supplements at the same time. Maybe crying wolf. It’s really too early to tell.
I have made the mistake of trying too many supplements at the same time and I now have the dilemma of which one (or combination of) is working. I feel if a cure is found, it may be a combination of different things. 1) PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) with Luteolin — I recently (9 days ago) upped to the

TSH remains suppressed
So, been taking 125mcg levo and 12.5mcg Liothyronine for years, but recently lost some weight, and started randomly throwing up. Blood tests at Dr showed,T4 19.9 (11-23) TSH <0.01 (0.27-4.5) So wanting to feel better, I reduced the t3 to 6.25mcg, and levo to 100mcg Nurse practitioner agreed to check

Tamoxifen v Acid Reflux
Hi All I have been clear from hormone related breast cancer for 3 years now. I am 62 & post menapausal . I changed medication from anastrozole to tamoxifen last month to try to help slow my osteopenia, as I do not get on with bisphosphonates. Unfortunately it appears to have aggravated my hiatus

Going back to the gp.. one year on
So one year after my first blood test I’m going to go back to my gp to ask for a ‘second’ (more like 10th) opinion, I’m under medicated 25mcg levothyroxine, still symptomatic and fed up! I’m going back to the gp, basically demanding a dose increase and citing the research to support it. (My latest results

Blood results help
Hi I have had blood test tsh is one (range 0.4 to 5) and T4 is 14 ( range is 9 to 19). Also had an ultrasound which showed altered echotexture but no enlargement of thyroid. Are these results OK? Have symptoms of underactive thyroid but results all in range. Thanks
