Hi I am 61 years old and definitely post menopausal. I have just received a letter following my recent endo appointment and it states that oestrogen levels were negligible and fsh was 19. I just want to check if this is normal. I thought the fsh should have been much higher. Thank you so much

Hi all, Underactive Thyroid diagnosed in 2018, have been taking 125 Levothyroxine since then with minimal changes in bloods in this time, well managed symptoms and not much to report. Had routine bloods done in May to find a low TSH of 0.27, GP asked for bloods again in 3 months and have just had

Hi - I just wondered if anyone takes levothyroxine and metavive together. I take levothyroxine for Hashimoto’s. It’s ok but I don’t convert from T4 to T3 that well - I wondered if a small dose of metavive in addition would help? I’m on a 100 of levo and was thinking of adding a very small dose of metavive

I just started on gabapentin. 100 mg. Not planning on going up at all. Just sticking to 100 mg. It has helped me sleep a bit. Which is amazing. I have had heart palpitations before I started this medication. I think due to low ferritin. But what are some of everyone’s side effects ? I am afraid of this

I took two pregnancy test very late last night fell asleep and seen these lines in the morning wondering if anyone has any idea if this is positive??? Just because they have colour and go the full way through x

i have Hashimotos and have been on t4 only for the past 15 years. I started feeling more tired over the past few years. I wanted to try t3. An endocrinologist put me on 137mcg of t4 and 10 mcg of t3. My original t4 only dosage was 145mcg. When t3 was added, I immediately started to feel more focused

I don't seem to be converting to T3 aswell as I did and was wondering if anyone had tried this? It is supposed to help with this. Ingredients in comments.

We were about to start our next cycle after another failed one 2 months ago. Three weeks ago we had our consultation with our fertility doctor and we were booked for an initial scan and we were just waiting for my period. I am due AF tomorrow but 4 days ago I was having what felt like period cramps and

I have hypothyroidism and Grave's disease the Graves' is currently in remission and I am on a T4 and T3 combo. I am currently on a good level of medication (for the first time since I became unwell about 10 years ago). I also have ADHD and for my entire life I have had huge problems falling asleep

Hi, I’m Rexi and I’m from Germany. Over 30 years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I spent a year without insulin and have been taking insulin since then, but only very, very few units. Since my C-peptide level is still quite high and I have no antibodies, a genetic test for MODY was done. It

Hi, Sometimes when I walk I experience this sensation that the surrounding is not moving, yet I am walking. It feels like being on a treadmill and caught in a loop. I have to look at the ground or I can get panicked. I don’t know if it’s vertigo or anxiety, I didn’t experience this prior to thyroid

Hi all a friend of mine has many of the classic symptoms on being hypo she took a medichecks test early morning her nutrients are all low in range so she's going to work on these, and she did not test positive for antibodies however her thyroid results wereTSH 3.39 top of range is 4.2 T4 14 range (12

I know I wrote about this 2 years ago, and this problem is still on-going. I just don't seem to be able to identify the cause. Is it possible too much T3 could cause my teeth to ache and be very sensitive? Thank you

HelloAll you very helpful people on this forum. I'm currently taking 400mg of pregabalin. Following my previous post on taking sertraline I managed to stop taking it and my rls has improved again saying improved not to the point where I get a good sleep but lots better but it still drives me mad and

Recently had my bloodtest done. As part of the tests, hbA1c was taken - however, it came back with a value of 44 mmol/mol or 7.25 mmol/L. So, in the prediabetic range. However, I also monitor every other day my fasting blood glucose too. Usually it is around 5.3 to 5.6, but never higher than 6.5. Just

As it says in the title. I followed all the instructions, came off my warfarin and did the heparin injections, got to the hospital and no one had read my notes. There was no local anaesthetic available so no biopsy done. Now I have to wait for a case conference for them to decide the next step. So I

Further to an earlier post a few hours ago. I really would like to just start T3 again but I have been refused an NHS prescription. Long story. Working my way towards 87.5mcgs Levo but now involved in making an appeal to NHS endo. I can’t wait for a reply for my appeal for months as my heart is

I’m on turkey on holiday at the end of the month and wonder if any members got hold of T3 if so is it easy and how much. Thanks

I either need to increase my Levo after being ‘dumped’ by an endo who appeared to me, was going to treat me with T3. OR I need to introduce T3 myself. My question is if I was going to try to shortcut this and get onto to T3, what level of T3 would ‘replace’ the ‘lost’ Levo? I initially dropped Levo
