THYROID BLOOD TEST RESULTS These are my latest Thyroid blood test results and which I had done privately (fasting/early am & no biotin for the previous 10 days) as the public health system here will not test all 5 elements at any one time; TSH 0.537 mIU/l (0.35 - 5.5) FT4 17.90 pmol/l (11.9 - 21.6

Hi. My TSH levels have been 0.02 for over a year, yet T3 and T4 have been in the normal range.I have chronic fatigue, reason I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism 20 years ago, and they have reduced my Levothyroxine to 75mg now. I am so concerned that this is going to cause my fatigue to get worse.

My recent blood test showed my tsh was within normal range but Consultant didn't request t3 or t4. I have been advised to continue on 15 my carbimazole. Should I have had t3 and t4 tested? I always have in the past but not this time, for some reason.. not feeling particularly brilliant either.. 😒

Hello, I take a daily supplement dose of plant based vitamin B12 Complex and try to eat a range of foods that are healthy. I drink alcohol - maybe 5 units four/five times a week and I read that maybe I should take additional B vitamins to cover myself against there being insufficient to counteract this

'm so sorry, it was only yesterday that I said I wouldn't post again for a while. And I feel that I must apologise, as I realise there are so many people much worse off than me, yet I can't stop crying. I can't get out of bed to face the day. Please forgive me for sounding so pathetic. I was recently

Hi, I posted a while back before I first saw a private GP and was put on 50mg of levothyroxine. Weeks 1-3 or there abouts I felt that things were going well. I felt rested after a nights sleep for the first time in years, increased mental acuity, diminished itching of the skin, decreased thirst,

Hi All, I have a question and wondered if anyone had an answer to if they had a similar experience. I just started taking Urso and have been on it now close to a month my recent blood work shows that my Alk Phos has increased rather than decreased. While I know it may take awhile for Urso to potentially

I promise this will be my last question for a while [!]. I was just wondering, as COPD is a progressive disease, how exercise [eg/ pulmonary rehab] can improve FEV1 values, therefore improve lung function, yet the condition will still get worse? Or does it mean that improving FEV1 values/lung function

I am going to ask my Endocrinologist for a trial of T3 at my next meeting, as it was suggested by them at my last meeting that if my last dose change didn't help, they would recommend a trial on the basis of significant persistent symptoms. What should I know about this, and what questions are wise

Hi everyone. It's taken me a while to get it together to write this post and I apologise in advance for its length. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in May 2023 and since then had regular blood tests and given very small increases in Levothyroxine from 25 up to 100 ug in April 2024. My June 2024 blood

Hi, this is a strange question I have but are the HCG strips accurate? I came to know I was pregnant through 4 strip tests which all came positive, got confirmation from fertility nurse over email that those are positive. I also got bloods done which confirms I ovulated as well.I started bleeding at

Hi Everyone.....yet another question. I'm so sorry to keep posting quite similar questions - I just want to get my head around this. I know that I need to ask my doctors these questions but I don't see my Respiratory Specialist for another 4 - 6 weeks. As I mentioned, my FEV1 was 50% - moderate. I've

Hi, I’ve got a ferritin level of 40.5 (30 - 169) To me this is low isn’t it? Also I have been taking spatone iron sachets for 6 months so would you say I’d need a higher iron supplement? If so could anymore please advise on a decent one ?
