Advice following house move to another county
Good Morning, we recently moved to another county and have been referred into central Endo/Diabetes service (Aintree Hospitals). Currently still with Lancashire service but l current locum Endo is appalling and only seems to measure against TSH levels and continues to try to reduce based on that

Started HRT - Increased need to urinate - will this get better?
Hello Ladies I have just started HRT and I have some unpleasant side effects. I now seem to need the loo every 20min. It’s an urge and I don't feel I can empty my bladder. It’s affecting my life as I struggle to take journeys on the train or in the car. Is this normal? Will this get better? Thank

New to Levo, question about TSH aim
I've been taking Levo 50mg per day for 3 months, and just had the first blood test result back. My TSH is at 2.85, and they are saying that I should stay on this dose and get tested again in a year. The last test before I started medication (January) my TSH was 8.6, T4 12.8. Both were done first thing

Has anyone tried HRT to help with migraines?
I have never been on HRT and went through the menopause seven years ago but have recently heard about how lack of oestrogen can add to migraines which I’ve suffered from for many years. Have you had any experience of HRT helping migraines ? Thanks!

Help with results appreciated
Hi everyone, It's been a while since I had full TFTs etc so I was surprised to see some of the results, especially compared to last time (2020). The TSH is lower than in 2020 (when it was 3.7), the Free T4 is slightly higher (16.2 in 2020), but the Free T3 is lower than it was (5.24). My B12 results

Stages of disease
I have Hashimoto's and understand that it is the cause of 95% of thyroiditis.My TSH only appeared high a year ago. Prior to that I had multiple symptoms for years. Recently I discovered that I also have antibodies and my thyroud ultrasound showed evidence of the disease. I wonder if anybody knows, if

Help, need your help
My TSH is .37 so I am low. Do I need to take a higher dose of Synthroid or a lower dose of Synthroid. I can’t remember how that works. My T3 and T4 are within normal ranges.

TSH and freet4 levels
Hi what does TSH level 4.73 and free T4 level 8.8 mean? I have been struggling for years with tiredness (I also have fibromyalgia). This tiredness is different. I'm struggling with it now. Achieving very little. Every time I have a blood test, which is not often cause I get told everything fine, no

Finally got a diagnosis of Endometriosis today
I've been on such a journey with my pelvic pain. I'm 50 and I had a hysterectomy 4 months ago for fibroids. A laparoscopy ruled out Endo last year. I was pain free for the first time in months. I started hrt and my original pains 6 weeks ago came back with a vengeance just like they did last year when

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
