Trying out T3 - The first blood test is due
I know this question has been asked many times in one way or another. Here it comes again: My conversion is not good, and even with a nearly suppressed TSH and fT4 is in the upper half through the reference range, the fT3 is lingering in the lower end. The symptoms are minor but annoying, and I believe

Help! I'm really Struggling
I really hope someone can help me, apologies for the super long post. I've suffered on and off over the years with subclinical hypothyroidism and started on 50mcg of levothyroxine. I caught covid in 2020 which then gave me the Hashimoto's marker and made me slightly underactive. I was put up to 100mcg

Taking Carbimazole and going out of range.
I am taking 7 mg carbimazole every day. My latest blood tests are abnormal . TSH 5.07 mlu/L 0.27. - 4. 2. Should I be taking more or less carbimazole to bring me into range. Thank you Val

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Rapidly gaining weight.
I've gained a stone in weight all of a sudden, in just over a month with most of it while I've been on a calorie controlled diet the past two weeks and staying well below the calorie limit. Could any of this be down to my thyroid? My latest test results were tsh 2.11 ( 0.5 -4.4 ) and t4 12.1 ( 8.9 -

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

Opinions on blood test results TSH and FT4.

Hi I posted a while ago about the brand of thyroxine I’m on (Accord), just had my blood results. Recently moved doctors. After getting my results doctor has advised if you take thyroxine the NHS will only test TSH now. My old doctors used to do T4 and TSH. I could never get T3 done. On a positive

GP & Endo Suggestions for brighton east sussex area?
So.. Had the same conversation with gp yesterday.. Even though my T 4 has fallen by 3.7 digits for no reason.. He still is saying I'm over medicated because my tsh is surpressed.. He actually said that whatever my T 3 and T 4 levels are, if my TSH is surpressed that means that I am over medicated.I

DSNS Taper Question
Hi all, At a recent visit to my Rheumy, he told me I'm ready to taper once again. At the time, I was at 7 MG PRED per day. I had been sick with Bronchitis for more than a month, and also had to care for my wife who contracted pneumonia a month before that, so I was not able to taper during that time

thyroid and others blood results need help with what I need to do?
hi I’ve just had my bloods done today and I’ve got the results, I just wondered if this is right that the laboratory said I don’t need another blood test for a year!! I was diagnosed in June 2023 and in dec blood test my Tsh and t4 took a dive down to wrong side, now today results are good but not optimal

Blood results - Any Advice?
Hi! Just looking for maintenance recommendations and any advice is greatly appreciated! Went to a new doctor (endocrinologist) to get a 2nd opinion on my thyroid condition. Of course, my goal is to heal and get off meds completely one day but she said she does not feel it is possible. Was first
