T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

My latest blood tests have just come back. I’d be grateful for comments from the amazing admins please. At the moment I’m not feeling great, my last tests about 8 months ago showed my B12 to be low so I started taking a liquid B12 supplement sublingually. I’m not taking any iron supplements. I take vit

Updated diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disorder
Just an update. Unsurprisingly with elevated thyroid antibodies I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disorder. As I currently have some hyper symptoms as well as hypo ones, the private GO who’s diagnosed me very sensibly, imo, wants to test again to ensure she gets the diagnosis and treatment

blood results
good morning, I’ve just received my advanced thyroid panel from medichecks and I hoped someone could interpret them for me please? A bit of history, I developed an overactive thyroid with graves and t.e.d in 2001, I had radio iodine which obviously knocked me underactive. I got put straight on levothyroxine

Sussex hospitals no longer giving fT4 result on thyroid function tests
Hello, Writing this post in case it helps prepare others rather than for advice (but feel free to advise if you wish!). I had a blood test last Friday not because of hypothyroidism but the test included "thyroid function". My results came back with just TSH being reported, no fT4 as I have been used

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)

A little update
Hi all, I just thought I'd give a little update as I've not posted here in about a year and just possibly my experience may be of interest. I am not in ANY way invalidating anyone else's condition or treatment, this is just my story. For years I have struggled with low mood, lacking 'oomph' in life.

High Everything
Hello, I wondered if anyone had ever had similar blood tests and what was the outcome. Background, I come from a family of dysfunctional thyroids and mine is definitely on the way out. Over the years my thyroid test have swung between subclinical hypo and normal, usually with a TSH around between

Liothyronine (LT3) prescribing in England: Are cost constraints inhibiting guideline implementation?
Whatever else, this demonstrates beyond any doubt that the cost of the liothyronine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is but a minor part of the price charged to the NHS. I'd argue that the simple fact that the NHS agrees these prices strongly suggests something VERY wrong with medicines procurement.
