Carbimazole and cramps update
Hi Everyone, I have been on a roller coaster since my last post, hence my relative silence. My mother was seriously ill, I was asked to sign a DNR, then my mother recovered, now I am able to focus on my own issues. Since my last post about my severe cramps, they seem to have subsided since introducing

About to start IV Methylprednisone 500mg
Finally, after 9 months, they have diagnosed me with TED, after discounting Myasthenia Gravis, amongst many other things. I am Euthyroid, so my TSH, T4, T3 are in normal range, though my Thyroid Receptor Antibody blood test came back positive (though not that high 2.6). My MRI also implied TED. About

negative antibodies
Hi. I’m wondering what you should test or look out for if you have negative antibodies for hypothyroid whilst having a higher TSH number? I get my bloods done every 4 months. The TSH is high, but not high enough to be medicated for (in the UK). I get my bloods done by the nurse and there’s no chat with

Hello everyone, I've been struggling quite a bit lately with symptoms that seemed consistent with thyroid issues, including difficulty to conceive (had a failed IVF last year after many years of trying to have a baby). I had the tests done and I got a copy of my results, and I was wondering if someone

Research on TSH levels to show doctor
Hello, Apologies for this question, as I know it's one that has been posted before by others (I haven't figured out how to 'save' posts yet!). I'm trying to find research to show to my GP (in the UK) regarding TSH levels. My understanding is that 'healthy' individuals would have a TSH of around 1

Dose of Levo lowered
Hi, My GP lowered my thyroxine from 150mcg to 125 mcg as my TSH was 0.01 after the January blood test My TSH has been low for years. There was no discussion about how I felt and no option to stay on 150mcg. Results from Monitor my Health as GP refuses to test anything other than TSH! Both tests

Help with thyroid results
Hi, I would appreciate any advice please. Just had some blood tests done as I am trying to find out why I am so tired. My TSH is 1.27, FT3 4.4, and FT4 13.5 My Free throxyine is the lowest it's ever been but TSH still 'normal'. I am cold and gaining weight. I don't feel good. Any advice on how

hopefully getting somewhere!!
Having been treated for hypothyroidism since 2000 when I had a thyroid nodule, I have struggled with my weight and wellbeing to varying degrees over the years. I'm now 79, but active. I saw an Endo privately in October had a few blood tests which I have posted, (including Medichecks in Feb I think)

Anyone else here also have POTs?
So it's looking like I have POTs as well as Hashimoto's. I'm 4 months on Armour and a lot of my symptoms have started to improve recently - physical fatigue/flu like symptoms are mostly gone, attacks of sleepiness getting less frequent, appetite better, lost weight, resting HR back to normal, no more

Advice
Hi Not been here for a while as I have been investigating possible Hyperparathyroidism - still ongoing, it's a long road! Also had to deal with a gallbladder removal too...but now resolved 🤞 I'm having private bloods to check for raised Calcium (for HPT), which also test my thyroid. As both problems

Thyroid Test Results
As a result of my GP pressurising me to reduce Levothyroxine intake I have had tests carried out privately. My weight justifies the dosage of 200mcg daily that is currently prescribed. (1.6mcg/kg) However this dosage results in incredibly low TSH levels. My GP seeks to raise TSH levels. Results are

Drinking & Thyroid
Just wondered if many of you with an underactive thyroid drink alcohol? Not an excessive amount but a few drinks perhaps. Of late and since being diagnosed with one I feel like my tolerance for it is terrible and one or two glasses of wine can wipe me out the next day. Is there any link? Be great to

advice - thyroid results and feelings
Hi all, So i've been under private thyroid care for just over and year and a half. I was on 75mcg a day from about 18 years old to 42 years old, had bloods checked and all 'in range' but I didn't feel good. Tired a lot and sluggish and constipation, cold sensitiveness. After changing to private,

Sub-clinical hypothyroidism
4 years ago in 2019 my thyroid levels were showing underactive borderline I managed to get into normal range and all I did was take Seamoss gel. However it's returned and now my TSH is 10.38 and T4 around 9. I do feel lethargic and fatigued and the GP wants to stick me on to a low dose of levo.. I don't

low TSH
I have autoimmune thyroid disease diagnosed 23yrs ago and have been on the hypothyroid treadmill since. Yet again GP wants to reduce my levothyroxine and liothyronine as my TSH is 0.12. this happens regularly and my TSH never changes. Many years ago an ultrasound of my thyroid showed it was “shrivelled

ferritin still low
As mentioned before my ferritin is 13, can’t tolerate any oral form and have had infusions in the past. Am being denied infusion as Full bloods are within range, no idea what to do now, eating plenty of iron rich foods, feeling really unwell and down. Recent test results: B12=651(187-883), vit D=92(

Amiodarone and existing hypothyroidism
What effect does it have on TSH blood results. Mine came back 0.25. I’m so fatigued and piling on weight. I thought the lower the reading result it shows hyperthyroidism. Have I now become hyperthyroid. Am I correct? Is the amiodarone (for persistent my A Fib) throwing out my thyroid?
