helvella - Thyroid Blog
You might or might not know that I have been accumulating information about thyroid issues in my blog - I have created a significant number of pages now. Many will be aware of some of the specific pages which I link to quite regularly. But you might not have realised what else is there. Below is a copy

T3 equivalent of NDT
Hello A very clever person on here worked out the likely mcg of T3 & T4, contained in 3.5 grains of NDT from Thailand. Unfortunately I've mislaid the post. I'm seeing my endo on Wednesday and I want to understand why he put me on such low doses of Synthetic T3 & T4 for eight weeks. The new blood tests

Medichecks results
I finally got my medichecks results and am a bit confused with the results. March 22 the GP tested my tsh and it was 1.88. I am very surprised to see it has gone up so fast. Also my t4 & t3 don't look as low as I was expecting. Medichecks results : Test taken on April 17, 7am, empty stomach. Tsh:

Blood test results
Hi,I started levothyroxine (25mcg) approx 6 weeks ago after diagnosis. Bloods retested today and TSH is 5.1. Previous results were 7 and 8.I have an appointment with the GP this week and presume they will want to increase the dose. Pathology investigation report on the blood test suggests undertreatment

liothyronine
Hi. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2005. My thyroid and para thyroid glands were removed. I have been on Liothyronine ever since. I was monitored by an oncologist until 4 years ago, and now by my GP. I had been taking liothyronine 20mcg x 3 times daily. My GP has tried to reduce this to 20mcg

medicheck results, what to do next?
I have posted my results before from Medichecks and I persuaded my youngest daughter to take the thyroid and vitamin test recently due to her symptoms of lethargy and the fact that not only I have hypothyroidism but also her Dad and older sister. Her iron plus Vit D were all low so she is now taking

thyroid issues and a fibs???
Does anyone on this site know if there is a link between a fibs and a high TSH blood test? I have been hypothyroid most of my life and have to take synthroid, due to a partial thyroidectomy in my twenties. I am now 69 and have recently developed a fibs. I also might have apnea; am getting a sleep

In shock, TSH from 20.3 to 0.103!
hello, I posted a while ago as I was getting so concerned at the rate my TSH was increasing, I had increased my levothyroxine gradually to 175mg with no improvement, the last bloods and drs appointment I had I was given instructions to increase to 200mg which I believe is the limit for my weight. by

tsh or t4 to determine over medication
It’s controversial in the United States between using tsh or t4 to detect over medication. Which is the best test to conclude over medication tsh or t4? Any help would be appreciated.

Low salt levels
Is there a private thyroid blood test recognised by the NHS because my GP will only test for TSH. I had quite a heated discussion with him but he still said it wasn't necessary!! I went to see the GP because of itching on my arms and torso . I think this is quite common with thyroid problems ?Also has

Latest blood results
No wonder I’m feeling unwell again. TSH up, T4 and T3 down. So glad I have started on 75mcgs Levo now. Hopefully I’ll start to feel better again soon.

Why do I suddenly feel terrible but still taking Armour?
I have been happy as a clam and able to function and be part of the world since I started Armour two grains a day in Sept 2022. This was after a year on levo that did nothing for me. Around Xmas 2023, I started feeling sluggish and constipated. Bloods were done mid Feb through my private thyroid doctor

ANA & Connective Tissue Disorder results Graves
Hoping for some help. I got called into the doctors on Monday to discuss my latest bloods & my continued weight loss, I had already discussed my thyroid bloods with the endocrine nurse so was not really sure what is was about. My GP said that I had tested positive for ANA & connective tissue disease

I have had an underactive thyroid for 30 years. My Levothyroxine dose is now 100mcg daily and was reduced from the 125 mcg during the pandemic after I lost 3 stones in weight. I have never been given my full annual thyroid test results in the past but they have now been made accessible online. When

Hopefully getting closer to just a bit more tweaking...?
Right, over the speed bump that happened around Feb. After speaking to endo, reduced Levo to 50mcg and am back up to 5mcg x3/ day T3. I have been feeling more stable and a bit more alert, more energy for about 4 weeks. Just recently started slowing down again, sluggish bowels, cold intolerance, dry skin
