TSH remains suppressed
So, been taking 125mcg levo and 12.5mcg Liothyronine for years, but recently lost some weight, and started randomly throwing up. Blood tests at Dr showed,T4 19.9 (11-23) TSH <0.01 (0.27-4.5) So wanting to feel better, I reduced the t3 to 6.25mcg, and levo to 100mcg Nurse practitioner agreed to check

Hello, I wondered if anyone had ever had similar blood tests and what was the outcome. Background, I come from a family of dysfunctional thyroids and mine is definitely on the way out. Over the years my thyroid test have swung between subclinical hypo and normal, usually with a TSH around between

Charlatan or science?
hi folks, I am awaiting diagnosis of Grave’s disease and during the last 3 months since my blood tests via the NHS and the waiting game to see an endocrinologist, I have been researching hyperthyroidism. The internet is FULL of people claiming there is a link between micro biome and leaky gut and Graves

Test Results
Hello! I recently had a full thyroid panel work up. All numbers seem to be within range except my T3 levels seem just above the healthy limit. The range says 1.7-3.7 and my results came back as 1.8. Would this be enough to have an affect on my body? I have all the symptoms and my mother has been on

TSH/T3/T4/Vit B & D results
My previous Endo (private) retired last October and the new one (private) that I was suggested to see immediately reduced my Lio from 100 to 75 & the T3 from 20 to 10. Originally I had wanted to see an NHS Endo 3 years ago but none were available, hence the private route. My readings are T4 18.8 -

Latest results and problems raising dose
TL;DR - should I continue to try increasing my NDT dose slightly (from 1.75 to 2 grains per day, split dosing) based on the test results below, though I am getting some symptoms after increase (mild anxiety, hot flushes and sweats, and palpitations)? Further info/details below the results Inflammation

I cannot lose weight. I managed fine for years on Adkins diet then suddenly, in 2000 or so I started gaining wight from 120lbs. to 185 lbs!
For years I managed my weight fine with Adkins diet (low carb). Sometime around 2000 my general practitioner discovered I was hypothyroid & prescribed Levo (don't remember the amount). I was doing fine, but suddenly, in 2016 I began gaining weight for no reason at all!!! I am now up to 185 lbs.!!

Newbie to this community and wondering about B12 deficiency
Hello, for the past 4 years I've had symptoms of CFS, plus low FT4 and on occasions, low TSH. I've also had my cortisol tested by saliva and short synacthen test, both showed low levels but the adrenals work when stimulated so it's not Addisons. I've tried levothyroxine, T3 and thyroid glandulars and

Hi, I recently had my bloods done with monitor my health on 10/01/24 and the results indicated low folate and thyroid levels not optimal. I then spoke to my GP but they dismissed the private tests and asked for me to have my bloods done again which I had done on 25/01/24 only because I got the appointment

Have you disclosed your self-medication to GP?
Hello Everybody, I've been successfully self-medicating with T4 and T3 or NDT, without GP's knowledge, since 2016. For the 30 years before that I could not get diagnosed for hypothyroidism because I am borderline central hypothyroid and my TSH never got high enough for the NHS diagnosis criteria.

Pharmacist blocking prescription
I just want to have a rant. For 30 years I have had the usual frustrations of doctors constantly trying to reduce my dose but nothing has compared to this latest scenario. I put in my usual repeat prescription request with plenty of time because pharmacy needs a week now. It was blocked so I phone the

Choosing pharmacy to get Thybon Henning

Basal Cortisol Test Result
I have recently had a basal cortisol test and my serum cortisol level is 296 nmol/L. I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday to discuss. My test results says that this is normal but on reading information on the Internet I’m not too sure that this is entirely correct. I have found the following

optimal ranges
I’m using the Thyroid calculator I saw posted somewhere on here and I’m just wondering if there is an ‘optimal % range’ not the drs ranges, that I can compare mine to, also is there an ‘optimal’ T4:T3 ratio. I appreciate its very individual but just looking for a guide.
