Up and down today
Here are how things with me have been so far (an even longer story!): January 2013 - I'm told by my GP I have elevated Anti-TPO antibodies at 84,000 (<34). TSH is at 0.69 (0.27-4.2) May 2013 - My TSH has rocketed up to 22 (0.27-4.2) and my FT4 was low at 10.9 (12-22). I'm then put on 25mcg Levothyroxine

GP appointment today - this is what's come out of it...
Well, this is what has come out of my GP appointment, most of which I already knew. TSH has gone up and down like a yo-yo over the past 7 months. First it was 22 in May, 4 in August after starting the Levo, 4.3 in November and 4.6 in December. (Normal range 0.27-4.2) FT4 is back within range from being

I have been asked to share my story. Make yourself comfy and I will begin .......
In 1988 I went to my G.P. with joint pains which fluctuated around my body. When I booked the appointment I had pain in my neck and shoulders, by the time I saw him it was in my knees and wrists! The pain was put down to my being pregnant (with my second child), hormones etc. - advice, take pain killers

No idea what to make of this - except to say, vitamin D does seem to be linked to thyroid issues in complicated ways! [i]Thyroid. 2013 Dec 10. [Epub ahead of print]

Shedding light on the sunshine vitamin - why is vitamin D linked to so many health issues and how much of it do we actually need?
Sadly the article doesn't say how much Vitamin D we need, but given many of us report improvements in our well being after finding we need Vitamin D3 supplements to boost our Vitamin D into the normal range, I though this article would be of interest. There is obviously a great deal more we need to

Am I optimising Levothyroxine by it taking at the right time?
Hi I'm on 100mcg Levo for Hashimoto's. I have been taking it for about 12 years now at varying amounts and currently have a lot of aches, pains and stiffness and fatigue. But I also have RA and chronic autoimmune Uticaria and my inflammation levels are always high at present. I am therefore on a lot

WF for bone pain
Apart from the usual stomach pain that I had after eating wheat/gluten products I suffered very painful joints. Every morning I had to move all joints before I could even walk. Doctors didn't have a clue why. It caused me to have osteopenia. I was placed on Calcichew 4 years ago, 3 months ago the Dr

Vitamin D or is it Vitamin D3, or are they both the same please ?
Months ago, after being newly diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and prescribed Levothyroxine, I'd been reading up on Stop The Thyroid Madness website that Vitamin D3 might help my (what I thought might be,) Fibromyalgia type pains. (I hadn't heard of Thyroid UK back then.) At my next Doctor's appointment

Making headway...vitamin B12
I managed to speak with my GP last week regarding my low level of vitamin B12 in the light of all my auto immune problems but in particular my under-active thyroid. My level was about 280 and the lab range was 225-1100 or there about. My GP began by flatly saying my levels were 'within normal range

I can't cope with this much more!
Evening all, I hope everyone is ok. I have just been discharged from hospital, and I'm struggling again (been to acute medicine clinic today for nebs). I've lost count of the number of admissions now but I have just had enough, of bouncing in and out of hospital, of not being able to work...not being

Is Calceos (calcium and Vit D3) supplement the right one for thyroid problems?
I have half an underactive thyroid following removal of the right side for cancer treatment. They also removed a parathyroid gland that was imbedded in the isthmus tissue during and blood tests done in July (5 months post op) have found that I'm Vit D3 deficient and need calcium too. I've finally been

Vitamin b12 deficiency or pernicious anaemia? How to know the difference?

Vitamin D and Green Tea
Hi all - first post from me. My husband has CLL and I have read lots about the benefits of taking Vitamin D3. I want to get him on this. Any advice as to what strength? Have found a good make by Healthy Origins which is 10,000 IU. Also, any recommendations for green tea supplements?

I feel really cross with myself that I have blithely taken
