Nd Thyroid to thyroxine
Hi, I have Hashimoto's thyroid and Endoctrinologist has advised I move from NP thyroid to thyroxine. I was sent for Ultra sound by my doctor and had difficulty getting a follow up as he was on holidays for 2 months. I had to get online doc to refer me and only had report of ultrasound so not the scan

Any weight loss tips have hypothyroidism
I eventually got diagnosed with hypothryoidism last year after struggling for 10years and am overweight. I exercise about 3-4 times a week currently (swimming, yoga, body combat, walking) and work a full time (vet nurse so on my feet and mobile all day). I take 50mcg levythroxine once a day normally

Update to last post: What does T4 do?
Hi Thanks for all the help when I asked the question about T4, while prepping for my appointment. The appointment went well, I got a GP with ears! GP wanted to discuss the last endo letter saying that I can't have T4 increase unless I agree to give up my "self medicating habit." I explained that I

new test results and dose review advice.
Hello, I was started on levothyroxine by my GP on the 8th of January following test results that showed hypothyroidism. I had had symptoms for a while snd thought they were perimenopause, but my TSH levels were tested previously and came back ok (as shown by my July 2023 test results) T4 wasn’t tested

How should Levo dosing work - a 101 explanation needed please
sorry my brain is mush. I have read a lot of posts, tried Dr Google etc. I could do with a really basic explanation to help understand what my Endo is likely to talk about this week re: Levo dosing. what I think I know… Levo replaces what’s missing, T4. This results in lower TSH and higher T3 (assuming

What does T4 do?
I've been treated for 25ish yrs for hypothyroid & take T4 & T3 (self sourced.) My TSH is suppressed, which makes perfect sense to my non medical slightly addled brain. Of course my previous GP didn't like it and because I refused to stop my T3, slowly took away my T4. I've been dealing with B12d for

Endo changed meds - T3 only to T4/T3
For decades I've been on T3 only with various doses, for the last six years on 40mcg a day. I got called into the prescribing hospital yesterday & the head professor endo told me that I must change to 50mcg of T4 and 20mcg of T3 a day. I'm very nervous about how I will fare on that combination. This

Determined to get t4 & t3 tested by nhs
So, followed the different courses to pursue this issue. Finally found the right PALS to complain to. Explained to them all of how I have been stuck on a low dose of levothyroxine because my tsh was high normal. How the GP is blocked from even requesting a T4 test thus won't prescribe more. Quoted

male hormones
Hi Ladies and Gents I wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can find a group/expert about male hormones? It’s for my husband, he has no thyroid issues, it’s about other hormones. He did a Randox test and it turns out he has elevated FSH, LH, Prolactin and Oestradiol. His Testosterone is ok, he is

tsh too low on levo dose
Hi, I was trialling an increase of levo from 125 to 150. My tsh dropped from 1.6 to 0.09 ( range 0.27-0.42) and gp put me back down to 125. My t4 went from 22.5 just above normal range ( 12-22) to 25.5. Gp didn’t test t3 this time ( or the results aren’t back for it ) but my previous t3 was 3.6 when

Hope for over 40 using Double Donor.
I am 42. Single. Low AMH. None responder to Egg retrieval stimulation drugs. Using Double Donor Blastocysts (3 left frozen. 2 used). I just wanted to hear some success stories from 40+ Double Donor FETs. I've had one and one negative FET. I believe that my remaining Blastocysts are day 6 ones. Any

Carbimazole causing very short period cycles (+ rapid drop in t4 on low dose)
Hello I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in July 2020 after reporting feeling uneasy, shaky, urinating frequently and having some hair loss. My T4 returned to normal levels quite rapidly without medication. I have had since had flair ups (had my T4/TSH measured) and both resolved on their own.
