New Research: Link Between Type D Personality and Hypothyroidism Discovered. Thoughts??
Interesting new study. Full access to the original research can be found below the news article. https://neurosciencenews.com/type-d-personality-hypothyroidism-25888/ Not really sure the purpose of this other than clutching at straws and keeping the prized TSH measurement in focus rather than looking

Is it known for Electromagnetic Field Radiation (EMF) to increase TSH whilst still having normal T4 and T3 levels?
Hi, I know a lot of people say that electromagnetic fields are generally not a risk, but what if someone is exposed to it constantly throughout the day without any fresh air, surrounded by computers and other equipment quite close to your body? Can this increase and play havoc with your TSH number

Need support with talking to GP/Private doctor. What should my next step be?
Hi. Shockingly, I have recently realised that I might be having allergic side effects to the levo I have been taking all these years. I am shocked by this. I didn't even know that Levo could have side effects because I was never told that I should be on the lookout. I have visited so many private endos

What are you supposed to do......
GP reduces Levo to get TSH within range.Patient returns to GP with hypo symptoms again. Patient explains that they feel best when T4 (which [i]always[/i] gets tested if TSH below range) is nearing top of range. Patient shows GP private results showing T4 roughly mid-range.

confusing results
I have been in thyroid for 50 years. My TSH has always been abnormally low (.09) while all other tests in the low normal range. I am also, asymptomatic when it comes to any issues relating to too much meds and have never had any other illnesses. I feel good and have lived like this for. 50 years.

I’ve been taking Armour Thyroid for over 20 years. Previously on NHS but we moved house to a different area and new GP wouldn’t even discuss it. Armour Thyroid is now very expensive and not easy to obtain. I’m concerned about the long term importing and prescribing issues. Long scenario but now under

Surprise blood test
My Practice Pharmacist advised me to have TSH restest this month. I don’t know why except I told them I was swapping back to Accord brand (but they tell me it makes no difference, so 🤷♀️) Anyway, I’m going in the morning, observing protocols. Is it really only vit B that can affect serum? Thanks

Could This Be Thyroid?
I know what you're going to say... do these tests and just wait and see... I'm very anxious with symptoms right now and just looking for some thoughts. Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some
