Hypo Dr lowered dose!
Hi everyone, My Dr. lowered my prescription from 150mcg to 125mcg on the basis of a TSH result of 0.01. Test done as advised on here. No T4 or T3 was done. No discussion about symptoms . In fact it was done without any discussion. I’ve had to wait a month to have an appointment with my Dr. Was not

GP Coming - what to ask
having my annual review tomorrow and GP is coming to see me. Looking at all my past results I wonder, with them being up and down constantly, whether I am one of those whereby Levo no longer works for me and might be keeping me ill. Diagnosed back in 2005 and it's too far back to remember how I was

T4 keeps dipping and Endo says levels are still “good” (but I feel exhausted)
Hi all, I used to be on: -150mg of Levo And - 1.5 grains of ERFA NDT which was very suitable for years. My T4 would usually come out in between 18 to 20 pmol/L (range is 9.0 to 23.0 pmol/L), and my T3 whilst on the upper end of acceptable, would come out in between 4.6 and 6.5 pmol/L (range is

T3 toxicity
Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me whether it’s possible for T3 to simply ‘not agree’ with me? I’ve posted here before and got lots of great advice. My numbers previously showed me mid range through all the thyroid numbers but not converting well to T3. I was advised to take selenium and zinc

Is lactose intolerance and soya sensitivity affecting absorption of T4?
SlowDragon If I have a lactose intolerance and sensitivity to soya, could this be affecting my T4 absorption or conversion to T3? If so, would liquid thyroxine help or do I need T3 added? I recall reading a post regarding this from you but I am unsure where it is now. I avoid lactose and soya but

Has anyone had improved thyroid labs or reduced their thyroid medication, after optimising their ferritin, B12, folate, or vitamin D?
I'm currently on a bit of a mission to try and get my ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D to optimal levels. I'd love to hear anyone's stories or experiences of getting these nutrients up, and then finding their TSH, T4 and T3 levels improve and/or they have to reduce their thyroid medication. It would

Crash after Covid?
I’m really struggling to balance my body back out after having Covid and so so puzzled. Not sure why this has happened or where to go with it next. Has anyone had a really bad crash after Covid? I’m diagnosed pernicious anaemia and hypothyroid Hashimotos. I had been in the same routine with supplements

Private GP visit
I saw I private GP today as I felt with more time to go through my symptoms and tests I might get somewhere. But she is of the opinion that my B12, ferritin and folate levels were all fine and nothing to worry about. They are within range. I asked about my symptoms, but she didn’t feel they warranted

St George’s NHS 1st Appointment Query
Is anyone treated under St George’s NHS? I had a question about the first appointment. The letter states to bring a urine sample. Was this necessary?

Iron tablets
I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2021, and have been on iron tablets ever since, and my Gastroenterologist wrote to my GP and said I had iron deficiency anaemia and will be on iron tablets for life. He also asked for me to have blood tests done every 6 months, which includes full iron profile.

Levothyroxine dosage and weight
Am I right that the average recommended dose of Levothyroxine is 1.6mcg per kg patient weight? It seems to me that many people on here are on very low doses. Does that mean that quite a few patients are being undertreated? I'm 68.5kg so my dose should be around 110mcg daily. I might need slightly higher

Has this happened to anyone else?
I was having heart palpitations and chest pain for few days. 111 sent me to hosp I had blood tests, urine test, ECG, chest x ray, blood pressure and oxygen done 4 times. All results came up clear so they then put it down to the endometriosis might be badly inflammed and causing pains and strains elsewhere

DEXA and Leaky Bowels
Two questions for my knowledgeable chums. I was diagnosed in November 2023 and after a battle with my GP managed to get a DEXA scan in early April. Results are that this 75 year old has the typical bone density profile of a 30 year old. Yay! Is it reasonable to push for another scan after 6 months
