TSH and T4 readings
Hi All I’m new to the thyroid community on Health Unlocked and have a question. I was diagnosed with under active thyroid about two years ago and was put on 25 micrograms of Levothyroxine. My last test result was TSH 7.4 and T4 was 14. My gp won’t test T3 as he says it’s the T4 that’s important and

High FT4 level
My recent blood test showed my TSH level to be 0.6 miu/l and FT4 was 17.3 pmol/l. My GP has advised me to lower my levothyroxine from 125micrograms to 100 micrograms daily. I have been hypothyroid for 14 years now but just recently have been feeling anxious,agitated and stressed for no apparent reason

Prioritise quality of life
I just read an article based on Chris Whitty's speech. Just remove some focus on old-age. And re-focus on all too many of us almost regardless our ages. [i]

Update on my thyroid medication 🤦♀️
Hi everyone ❤️ I posted some weeks ago about my appointment with an endocrinologist on Dec 27th, who just stopped my T3 prescription and put me back on T4 levothyroxin to which in her own report she stated... This lady is intolorent to both T4 and T3, therefore I recommend she goes back on T4 levothyroxin

Prescribed NDT on NHS now doctor refusing to prescribe. Help!
I has to move GP Practise and before moving to current one I asked to speak to a GP. Receptionist said it wasnt necessary if a nhs consultant has recommended they will prescribe. So wouldn't get a doctor to phone me. I moved. All seem good but my repeats were not being set up. So became concerned.

🤷🏻♀️ Sudden jump up in T4
Morning all 😉 I have Hashimoto’s and have had radio active iodine treatment over 16 years ago so have been on Levothyroxine since. I’m familiar with all the testing and get regularly tested by my GP. I also private test occasionally to check my T3 as my local area do not test that on the NHS. I

Thyroid test results
I tested out of range high for THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES & THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES. I have been told by a doctor I do not have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as the rest of my thyroid results are in range, however I may develop the thyroiditis in the future. Follow up testing is the plan as other test

T3 looks low to me! I have a goitre....help please.
I had to push for T3/T4 blood
test
after gp took TSH and was then fixated on high
cholesterol
levels. I did some research and found that cholesterol levels were raised with thyroid problems and said I would not take Statins until thyroid sorted out.

GP is trying to help but doesn’t really understand and still only goes by TSH. Do the hormones interfere with each other? I make
