Can Armour cause depression?
Hi and looking for advice. I have been taking Armour for just over two weeks having previously been on 100 mg of levothyroxine daily. I was so excited to be prescribed Armour as my T3 levels always fell below range and I had fatigue and joint pain when on levo. Already I think the joint pain is improving

Latest results. Not sure what to do…
Had my annual NHS test yesterday- No T3/T4. TSH only checked: 0.87 (0.38 - 5.33) MMH test from last week: TSH: 0.83 (0.27-4.2) t4:17 (12-22) t3: 3.7(3.1-6.8) **Both tests were done as per forum protocol. GP increased my levo to 100mcg at the end of April 2024, but I decided to go low/slow

Help with blood results please
My Daughter has just had some blood results and I would be grateful if you could advise on them. I know I should be able to help having had a TT nearly 20 years ago and I have previously received invaluable help from members. But my cognitive abilities have declined and I cannot even remember how to

The results are in. I don’t know what to think of this months appointment and I’m confused and anxious but also a bit relived that it’s over. My husbands GFR was at 39 today, which has been the pretty steady number we’ve been trending towards. He had an Albumin/creatine urine test and the results were

Stress and Anxiety
Hello I have been feeling very anxious and stressed last 3 months; I started a new job 6 months ago so lots to learn and very busy, but don’t think it is causing me the heart racing anxiety I have been feeling (which I have never experienced before). I take 75 mg Levothyroxine and was due to do test

CHRONIC INSOMNIA
My last test results from May 2024 below. I’m supplementing iron, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, b12 injections, selenium, zinc, just started B complex (first time in years).

Hi, I won’t repeat the question, just wondering if anyone could give me an idea on this please. Obviously a bit of difference between the pricing of the two tests I’m looking at and not sure how helpful that info could be? Im not on anything for thyroid, but tsh has been up and down in past so I keep

Thyroid issues
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.
