New blood test results after 2 months on Levo
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,

Optimum Ferritin Result?
What is the optimum ferritin result I should seek to achieve and how, please. My recent last result was 90mcg/L (30 - 200). I SI B12 EOD. I take a B complex (B6 10mg) and folic acid (5mg) as a separate supplement.

Has anyone felt worse when first adding T3?
Hello All, I've recently added 5mcg T3. 6 weeks later I felt awful (exhausted, brain fog) and blood test confirmed my T4 had lowered so I increased my levo from 137.5 to 150 and kept the T3 at 5mcg. At the same time, I increased my estrogen, which I now know was a mistake to do at same time because

Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

Overmedication question
Hi all, I have been feeling really weird over the past couple of weeks and I wonder if I'm overmedicated. I take 100mcg levo daily following hemithyroidectomy in Dec. I had been feeling much better since starting the tablets in March. But over the past few weeks I've had hot sweats, very easy to lose

New member -Dexa query
Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

Followed advice here, now need help with understanding results
Hi, I’ve learned more here in the last year or so than I’ve ever learned from doctors. I’ve also come to know that I’ve probably been on too low of a Synthroid dosage for far too long. I am hypothyroid with Hashimoto’s since 2005 or 2006. I had a goiter on my parathyroid and had surgery to remove

Monitor my health laboratory results
Is someone able to explain why I feel unwell if my t3 is converting but t4 high. I did take the t4 two hours before as it was suggested I try this, but my t4 was also above range in March 24 following all the protocols on here for tests (both monitor my health tests). GP test in between these showed

I am now taking 75mcg per day & mostly don’t feel too bad….although medical professionals are trying to lower dose

Thoughts on thyroid labs please
Hi all 32 year old son seems well enough but with a tendency to gain weight although he’s not obese. He’s reasonably active. Not on thyroid replacement He has core nutritional deficiencies despite eating very well but working on correcting these, as per advice on here Blood drawn 2pm, so TSH likely
