Does Magnesium need a big gap around thyroid meds?
I currently try to leave 4 hours either side of both iron and magnesium capsules and thyroid meds. Do I need to do that with magnesium?

tamoxifen and thyroxine
if you started tamoxifen, how much did thyroid bloods/ dose need to change? I know tamoxifen causes fatigue and foggineess but also wondering if it’s thyroid too as I know it can interfere with things. I do have a blood tests in a couple of weeks.

Armour thyroid
I have been on armour for several years and my endo is aware. 2 months ago I had a blood test which showed my levels were fairly low, TSH was 8 ish and t3 and t4 were low. So I increased my dose slightly whilst waiting for a further endo appointment. Within a couple of weeks I was hyper, no blood test

Have you disclosed your self-medication to GP?
Hello Everybody, I've been successfully self-medicating with T4 and T3 or NDT, without GP's knowledge, since 2016. For the 30 years before that I could not get diagnosed for hypothyroidism because I am borderline central hypothyroid and my TSH never got high enough for the NHS diagnosis criteria.

thyroid and high blood pressure
Hi all So have been struggling to get a GP appointment to discuss my Thyroid meds. After MUCH sulking from me my medication was reduced to 75mcg from 100. Although I managed to hold out for 100 whilst I was on holiday- feel not so good so have been trying to get my meds reinstated. This since end

The thyroid gland under Notch control
An interesting snippet. Which is just as well because this is all we ordinary people can view! Do TFC1 and TFC2 get controlled by TSH exactly the same as each other? Or are the response profiles different? Or do different isoforms of TSH affect them differently? [i]

Getting the NDT dosage right
Hello again friends, I'm writing again in the hope that your collective expertise will come up with a solution for me. I switched from Levothyroxine to NDT (NP Thyroid) some time back, and I've been testing every 12 weeks and tweaking the dose trying to get it right. The latest results, which arrived

Timings of NDT and iron supplements

Oestradial HRT & the thyroid, Lenzetto blood tests
I just wondered if low oestradial affects the thyroid? I have been on HRT since March and my level is still only 197 pmol/L. I use 3 sprays of Lenzetto. I wondered if it could be affecting my thyroid function? I don’t have menopause symptoms, I had bottom of range testosterone, but this is now in range

USA changes status of NDT products. Their 'Grandfathered' status is to be removed.
All NDT products status will be changed from natural to biological and as such will have to go through the same rigorous process as is expected of other biologic drugs. They must comply with this and be approved by 2029 to continue. In addition the FDA has given permission to individual state to ban

AFIB and Levothyroxine (thyroid) dose.
Just a question for those of you that are hypothyroid and AFIB: Is your dose of thyroid medication less because you have AFIB, currently or in the past? Appreciate your input! Thanks!

Blood test results
Help! I received my blood test results today and had a little panic!! I wondered if I was over medicated. I’m on 50 micrograms Levothyroxine which I realise now that I shouldn’t have taken on the morning of the test. I took the Levo at 5.20am and had the blood test at 10.20am. The results were:- Serum

I tested out of range high for THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES & THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES. I have been told by a doctor I do not have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as the rest of my thyroid results are in range, however I may develop the thyroiditis in the future. Follow up testing is the plan as other test
