Affect of exercise on Thyroid levels
Hi everyone. I, realised back in March that my long suffering with nerve pain had got considerably better. I don't know why it suddenly reduced. I'm just really pleased that it did! I decided to get my health and weight under control as I am now able to exercise. I started doing three or four walks

Why would my FT4 change?
Hi, My thyroid has been ok for some years now, I have generally felt quite well. A recent GP blood test flagged up that my FT4 is at the bottom of the range. I am currently taking 120mg of NDT, I was on 240mg for many years but was told I must reduce my dosage as my TSH was 0.05. I reduced the dosage

New blood results - Need advice
TSH: 1.82 FT4: 19 (11-23) FT3: 5.6 (3.4-5.9) I was on 225mcg and lowered to 150mcg. These blood tests were after 16 weeks on 150. I took two weeks off of 225mcg then started 150. I feel awful. Terrible fatigue and brain fog. Was told I possibly had a thyroid storm. My FT3 has never been this

Percent of range
Since your group likes to go by percent of range could you tell me an example of what makes a good balance on free t4, free t3 and tsh. Should they all fall around 50 percent of the range being used for your particular lab?

Need Help with Diagnosis
I'm new to investigating thyroid issues, so I need some help from experts please. My husband has been suffering increasing fatigue for several years now, and he's always much colder than anyone else in the room. I understand that both of these can be symptoms of thyroid issues. Thyroid problems also

Hypothyroid symptoms but normal test results
Thank you in advance for any insight. These are my test results, sourced from a private company - Randox. I would be hugely grateful for any help in interpreting these or my symptoms. I have experienced severe weight gain - which NOTHING will shift including weight loss drugs. I have had a hormonal

Hashimotos or secondary hypothyroidism?
Hello, I recently had positive test results for thyroid antibodies, but my TSH and T4 remain in range, but low end. My doctor has suggested that I start treatment to prevent hypothyroidism developing. Actually I already have many key symptoms and I am struggling to cope. I also have a B12 deficiency

Si Joint/back pain
Hi I have a history of back pain and endometriosis. I recently turned 50 and leading up to my period my si joint pain has suddenly got worse and it all goes into spasms and I literally can't do a lot. It's not great the rest of the month either. I had linked it to the menopause or back issues but

A little advice please
following on from my last post where my blood tests showed low tsh (following protocols) I was called into the dr today. Dr wants me to drop to 50 one day 75 the next. I feel quite settled on 75. He took my blood pressure and pulse both of which were low. Should I try the lower dose to see what happens

Levo being reduced, but feeling under medicated.
Hi, I would greatly appreciate some input on my test results! I have been hypothyroid for over 17 years, and have always adhered unquestioningly to the doctor’s guidance, assuming that they were doing all they could. Having found this site, however, I am starting to wonder if there is more that can

Levothyroxine and Propranolol
Hello, The other day, and purely out of interest, I used the NHS app to read up about Propranolol (P). I could not believe that I have been prescribed a drug that interferes with Thyroxine (T) uptake. P was prescribed by Consultant who was made aware of existing medications. GP has requested lowering

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These

Thyroid test results
I’ve been taking 200mg of thyroxine for most of my adult life. Now the doctors have reduced to 150mg I returned to the doctors to say I felt awful. All my symptoms were returning. So they issued another blood test. They have came back saying my TSH level is too low and reduced my dose even more.

Graves - blood test
I bit the bullet and have messaged the GP this morning and requested a blood test ... I'll wait and see if they'll allow it. I realised whilst crying AGAIN in the shower this morning that something was very wrong, as I was struggling to get up again this morning, unable to go for my usual walk and crying

Hashimoto’s or Graves’ symptoms or…? Help to clarify please.
Hi everybody! I’m new here. Would be very grateful for your advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 17 years ago. It was in different country not in the UK. I have never been on medication as I was told if my T4 level is ok I don’t need any pills. I’m now in UK for about 5 years. I’ve never seen endocrinologist
