Bruising on knees
Just noticed quite bad bruising on my knees, dont remember kneeling or banging them. Could this be a symptom of low t4 maybe. Or am i being paranoid.

Eyebrows have started growing again : )
haven't posted in ages because of health issues but do read posts. Seeing private endo at the moment and taking it very slowly with him and so far so good & gradually increasing levo. GP did a raft of tests recently and it showed low ferritin and low folate. She didn't consider worth doing anything

Thyroid Nodules and Low Ferritin Connection
Has anyone successfully eliminated thyroid nodules by elevating ferritin levels? I believe there is a significant connection between the two (found some studies also). I do not have any health issues (except low ferritin and thyroid nodules) but I am curious about how many of you have observed this relationship

Iron Ferrous Sulfate & Vitamin C
I just had an appointment with my neurologist. My ferritin is good but my Absolute Lymphocytes was 1.3 (a bit low) and my Absolute Monocytes was .33 so he is recommending Iron Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) and Vitamin C (500 mg) three times a day. Anyone else taking these. I also take Magnesium Glycinate

EVIDENCE NEEDED PLEASE! In the past year, have you been told your T3 will be removed, or you can't start T3 due to national/local policies?
I co-lead ITT Improve Thyroid Treatment group (currently on Facebook, but hopefully a website soon) We work on certain pieces of work with Thyroid UK and The Thyroid Trust. In August 2023 NHSE issued 2 pieces of guidance related to T3 prescribing - They contradicted each other, but one said all patients

Novothyral
Hi all, I am currently in Spain where liothyronine is not offered at all. I have now had my third set of bloods since being on levothyroxine and my T3 has not increased from the very lowest normal lab result. I was wondering if anyone within Europe has got hold of it, it appears to only be available

Thyroid meds affecting sex hormones
Hi, I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid earlier this year. I am currently taking 25mg T4 (50mg caused significant bloating) and 30mg T3 as split doses. I'm on a high dose of adrenal support as my Cortisol & DHEA were shown to be very low in a Dutch test earlier this year. Since starting T3

Here we go again latest results & any advice before appointment with nurse practitioner.
Following on from my previous post I am trying to remain positive prior to my meeting with the nurse practitioner to discuss my latest results. Although I have remained on the same dose of thyroxine 150 my percentages have changed. I had hoped to make a case for a trial of T3 to improve my T3 percentage

Hi, can anyone offer any ideas as to why ferritin has jumped from 37(mid-June) to 85.4 this wk aside from infection please?
Hi Wonder if I can pick your brains again please? My ferritin was 48 prior to loading dose March/April, then lowered to 37 which I understand is normal thing to happen on the 8wk check. I’ve just completed a yearly pinprick test(I know maybe not as reliable, but sale on &needs must!) and ferritin has
