over medicated new dosage help!
hi lovely people, over the past 18 months I’ve slowly lost 21lbs. Over the past week I have noticed I am having over medicated symptoms (I have been overmedicated before so know what to look out for). I am currently on 100mcg levo and 10mcg lio. Do you think I would be better taking 75mcg levo with

Hashimotos/Novothyral 75
My first time posting. I am not sure if a message this long is allowed so I do apologise. I was seeing London consultant as have Hashimotos. Was moved from Levothyroxine 75 every day in November 2023 to Novothyral 75 every day instead as apparently my T4 wasn't converting to T3 very well. Took

Started new thyroid medication Mon 😡
Sorry everyone but this is going to be a rant.... As many members will know I stopped taking my thyroid medication on January 31st because the incompetent endo put me back on teva, which I certainly don't get on with (gastric side effects amongst other side effects) Through my surgeon in Liverpool for

The six weeks i went without levo this was the full results. Free t3 stayed good at 2.70 range of 2.18 to 3.98, my free t4 dropped drastically to .78 range .76 to 1.46 and my tsh shot up to 9.12 range .36 tp 3.74. My question is what causes the free t4 to drop so drastically without meds but the free

Iron and t4/t3 update
Thanks for everyone here for educating me, I have managed to get my iron levels to a higher levels they may have ever been! I'm so pleased and hopefully they'll continue going up. I have used the Heme iron recommended by many here. It's been one year since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I'm

Haven't tested since last July. Wanted to test again end of last year but pharmacies kept messing with my meds so I had to keep waiting for things to settle down for a few weeks Latest results on 125mcg Levo and 10mcg T2 split dose. Levo taken 24hrs before, 5mcg T3 taken around 4pm and 5mcg T3 taken

Time to heal
It is now 9 months since I started LT4 being titrated up and last weeks blood test show I have finally hit optimal levels. My GP has agreed to test again in 3 months to check I remain stable (on 125mcg.) Now, I am sure that because of various symptoms etc; my thyroid had struggled for at least 20 years

Advice on latest blood tests
Hi all, Hoping to get some advice on bloods following my latest tests. Just wondered if it's worth increasing the T4 as it's a bit lower since putting on a little bit of weight. I'm happy with my Vit D, B12, Folate and Iron and hence have not included those results. Thanks in advance

Blood test protocol for Thyroid levels
Hi, just need some advice on doing Thyroid blood tests in the evening. I have seen the protocol for doing it in the morning before 9am and on an empty stomach etc. What about if your taking your T4 medication before bedtime at 11pm after eating your last meal 4 hours before. Do you take your blood

how to come off thyroid meds?
At some point relatively soon, I might need to come off thyroid meds to see if I need them. How do I do that?! I've done some researching and reading around this and there seem to be 2 schools of thought. One is to wean off gradually and the other is to go relatively suddenly, because any amount of
