TPO high, GP not helpful, and I’m looking for advice
Hello, Sorry if this is a bit long. I have been struggling with symptoms of hypothyroidism for about 5 - 6 years. I also have a long family history of hypothyroidism and all of my female relatives battled their way to a diagnosis, and I seem to be following suit. Just before covid struck, my then

Dose of Levo lowered
Hi, My GP lowered my thyroxine from 150mcg to 125 mcg as my TSH was 0.01 after the January blood test My TSH has been low for years. There was no discussion about how I felt and no option to stay on 150mcg. Results from Monitor my Health as GP refuses to test anything other than TSH! Both tests

Help with thyroid results
Hi, I would appreciate any advice please. Just had some blood tests done as I am trying to find out why I am so tired. My TSH is 1.27, FT3 4.4, and FT4 13.5 My Free throxyine is the lowest it's ever been but TSH still 'normal'. I am cold and gaining weight. I don't feel good. Any advice on how

hopefully getting somewhere!!
Having been treated for hypothyroidism since 2000 when I had a thyroid nodule, I have struggled with my weight and wellbeing to varying degrees over the years. I'm now 79, but active. I saw an Endo privately in October had a few blood tests which I have posted, (including Medichecks in Feb I think)

Question re Private Only Endo
If you see a Consultant privately that doesn’t do NHS work is he able to recommend medication for me to my Gp? I do currently get T4 & T3 but need to see another Endo but he only does private work.

HRT after Thyroid Cancer
Hi everyone this is my first post. I had papillary thyroid cancer 12 years ago when I was 26. Radical neck dissection full thyroidectomy dozen lymph nodes removed. I've been on a rollercoaster with thyroxine for all that time struggling to feel well. Just got a new diagnosis of significant endometriosis

Found out pregnant while on buserelin
I started buserelin 0.5 ml Jan 21, Jan 25 I got my first faint line on a pregnancy test which was a miracle as I’ve been infertile for 4 years I’m 29 years old. I messaged my clinic they said continue until beta test. I’m stopping the meds now (Jan 29) but so so scared this will affect me, my dr said

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

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

Surgeon in Liverpool as requested thyroid bloods and thyroid antibodies 🤗
Hi everyone ❤️ Just posting this, as some members who have been following my struggle with thyroid medication these past 4 years, I decided to discontinue the T4 teva, the silly endo put me back on after taking me off the t3 which was not working due to gastric issues, forgetting also that teva t4 did
