Hypothyroid and Birth control
Anyone had any luck with hormonal BC whilst managing their thyroid? I have had my thyroid managed for years with the help of my dr. She has advised only non hormonal options for BC which I’ve followed for years. Recently I got a copper IUD placed and had serious issues and had to get it removed

Hi all, Underactive Thyroid diagnosed in 2018, have been taking 125 Levothyroxine since then with minimal changes in bloods in this time, well managed symptoms and not much to report. Had routine bloods done in May to find a low TSH of 0.27, GP asked for bloods again in 3 months and have just had

How does taking thyroid hormone switch off our own hormone production?
I’m relatively new to this group and learning so much and incredibly grateful to the wealth of knowledge here. I keep reading on various posts that when we introduce thyroid hormone (via which ever med) that it does not supplement but switches off our own thyroid hormone production and I am wondering

Thyroid Calculator
Hi all I have just had a comprehensive blood test done which included Thyroid. Having put my results in the thyroid calculator i wonder if anybody would interpret the results for me please? I’m not brilliant with maths! I can see they are not ideal, I’ve been feeling rubbish for months. Many Thanks

Supplements
Does magnesium threonate have a negative effect on your thyroid medication? Are there any other supplements that affect thyroid meds. Thanks in advance.

Itchiness?
This feels a bit random to ask here as I'm not even sure that it's thyroid-related necessarily - but does anyone else get really (sometimes borderline unbearably) itchy all over - especially at night? And, does anyone have any ideas about why might this be happening, or suggestions for how to alleviate

Took Erfa with Doxycycline while half asleep
Hi there! Has anyone ever accidentally taken their thyroid medication with something they shouldn't? If so, can I take another dose on an empty stomach later today? I usually take two doses spaced about 8-10 hours apart. Thanks so much for your help!

how long for levels to adjust before blood test - Ndt user
hi I was wondering if I could get some advice. I use Ndt on top of thyroxine because it works better for me but gp won’t prescribe it and I’m no longer under my consultant. Taking the dose the consultant prescribed but because I can’t guarantee supply of Ndt now I’m sourcing myself I worry that if I

erfa / armour prescription
Hi Is a GP able to prescribe either of the above on NHS if patient cannot tolerate Levothyroxine ? Have found a private GP who would prescribe but I would have to self fund for life and I’m not sure I can afford to 😔

Hello, just diagnosed overactive thyroid. I am on one mg prednisone daily for GCA and PMR autoimmune conditions. Resting heart rate 116 and losing weight quickly. Not overweight. Waiting for an endocrinologist. I have mild fatty liver disease also. What medication or treatment would suit me ?

Private endo
Hi, I’ve found a private endo that works at a hospital near me, Professor Parag Singhal, apparently according to his blurb he uses NDT and other combinations. He’s not on the Thyroid UK list as far as I can see, so just wondering if anyone here has used him? If you have and can give me feedback of your

Would some kind person please message me if they know of a place online I can buy Erfa without a prescription? I'm in difficult situation with no access to my usual provider as I had to leave the country due to health issues. Thank you!

Underactive thyroid and Pine pollen
Hi I have had an underactive for almost 3 years now and I take Eltroxin 75mcg mon-fri and 50mcg sat-sun but have not seen any results with weight loss. I am still fatigued and still picking up weight, almost 30kg's in 3 years which is not helpful. My blood test results come back normal so I am not sure
