Newly diagnosed
Hello I'm newly diagnosed, I was diagnosed hypothyroid last month. Mum has hypothyroidism too and diabetes. My nan has diabetes too. I sleep a lot during the day, always have hard stool, eyelids baggy and getting bleeds from bladder during periods. I am prone to bladder infections so can only guess this

A few blood test results
Hello everyone :) I put my first post on here a couple of weeks ago. I thought I had many signs of hypothyroidism (and have been 'unwell' for a couple of years?) GP didn't agree despite me having an out of range TSH of 5.1 (0.40 - 4.5mu/l) and FT4 on the low side 10.1 (7.00 - 17.00 pmol/l). The GP

Suppressed TSH Fears
Following all the great advice that I have received on here over the past 2 1/2 years I am now in a good place and feeling really well again (touch wood). I have also managed to lose weight and am almost back to a healthy BMI state with my weight. However, while directing a 'newbie' to the useful infomation

Blood results
Hi, I've finally got my results from the ENT and if I have read them right they seems OK and feel OK too. Just wondering what the range is for TPO as mine maybe high. I've discovered a gluten intolerance and I has strep throat at the time of the blood being taken. How can I reduce my TPO? Do I need

T3 and TG results
I got my Medichecks results today. My T4 and TSH haven't changed so didn't post them but hopefully they will improve soon as my dose has been altered. My T3 is "normal" but should it be in more optimal range? My TPO is still elevated but has dropped from 600. My TG is above range too...what does TG mean

Thoughts on my results....
What does everyone think? I’m not medicated but have Hashimotos. My TPO antibodies are high and on the most recent blood test I also have weak positive results for ANA antibodies and Anti Smooth Muscle Antibodies. My ferritin is bottom of normal range too. My B12 level is 346 in a range of 200-900.

What are 'healthy' levels of Thyroid antibodies?
Just read through this and it's the first time I've seen this range quoted as being 'healthy' level for thyroid antibodies....link at the end. The summary: Thyroperoxidase antibodies (aka TPO ab) * Between 100-300 (roughly) is considered a clinical win * Normal reference range is < 35 UI * The higher

Newly diagnosed help with results please
Hi I am newly diagnosed. I take 50mcg levo from 25mcg levo. This increase was made 3 weeks ago. I was told I have hypothyroid in May 2018. I don't feel any different on this. I am 28 years old. The doctor said it would take a long time for levels to improve, my latest results went from overt hypothyroid

FT4 level too high for an increase
Hi all. I take 125 mcg Levo, still have fatigue, muscle aches, eczema. Any idea when this will improve. I had my dose increased nearly 7 weeks ago. I seem to have a bit of rheumatism too, my knees and ankles ache and swell during damp and sometimes humid weather. My endo has said my FT4 is too high

Still waiting for referral for second opinion
Hello, I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I posted three months ago asking for help in understanding my blood test results and I was amazed how knowledgeable so many of you were and embarrassed that I had not tried to understand my condition better. I asked for a second Endo opinion as I have no confidence

Any advice please?
Hi everyone, I posted a few days ago but never got a reply :( so I'm trying again as I would really appreciate some opinions on my blood tests. I'm new to all this and feeling a bit overwelmed and overloaded with information. I finally got a print out of all my recent test results. My doctor says all

I’ve just been diagnosed with severe iron deficiency anaemia which has got so bad that my haemoglobin is below range and ferritin at 6, iron at 5 (range 5 to 30) and transferrin saturation index at 7 (range 16 to 45). and the GP has offered me an iron infusion. I feel awful

Any medication for Hashimoto?
Hi everyone. I'm new to the group. I Have some issues concerning my thyroid. About 6 months ago, I have some symptoms of Hypothyroidism. My endo put me on 25 mcg levothyroxine.
