Do I need increase in thyroxine dose?
I have struggled with hypothyroid symptoms all my life (always cold, always hungry, always tired, weight gain etc.) but was always told by my GP that all I needed to do was diet and exercise. Nobody listened to me when I told them that I was already doing that - I suppose it's easier to assume overeating

My doctors won’t investigate
Typically I suffer with chronic symptoms of low B12 but all my results seem to be ignored by GP. My ferritin is 35 ug/L (indeterminate), vitamin b12 is 157ng/L (low) and in my FBC my MCV is 95.5 (just below higher cut off) and MCH is 32.1 (slightly high - comment on blood test is ‘no action despite having

Hello everyone, Just asking for some advice or thoughts as I have the thyroid antibodies but ‘normal thyroid’. The thyroid antibodies were found when my first private endo ran tests for my hypoPARA. I have been confused about what they are going to do about it as all they have said it ‘your thyroid

As many of you members will know I've not been taking the T4 teva the endocrinologist prescribed me on Dec 27th I did try it again, but again developed the awful side effects (she herself wrote in a report this lady is intolerant to both T4, T3 teva and other thyroid medication she as been on)I discontinued

Results - help please
Hi there,I am posting on behalf of my mum (I have hashis and in my own personal nightmare!). She has diagnosed hypothyroidism, not autoimmune. She is 72, has been on levo for around 20 years, current dose 75mg, she doesn't specify a brand so I suspect it's whatever the pharmacist gives her. Serum ferritin

Why am I experiencing migraines, muscle twitching and generally feeling poo 💩?!
