Desiccated thyroid extract

Hi everyone. The results from my ANA and ENA came back with a broad diagnosis of connective tissue disease. They've ruled out lupus. This plus the thyroid stuff is going to be fun to deal with 😅. The Coeliac disease test was inconclusive because my GP forgot to advise me to have bread for at least 4

hi, Please can I have some advice. I’ve been taking 10 mcg T3 for 7 months together with 75 mcg T4. I haven’t felt particularly any better on T3 except for an improvement in tiredness and mood. I’ve felt hyped up and breathless on exertion so I asked for an ECG. I’m 68 and they found that I have a

Whenever I see this type of article - the BBC and others produce these things every couple of years, I think - I start worrying that I'm going to lose access to thyroid hormones on the web. I know this subject came up with the MHRA last year or the year before, but I don't have a link. Link : https:

Hi All, I looking for advice again! After being ill over Christmas and convinced it was my medication, coming off everything bar my 100mg Levothyroxine, symptoms didn't improve.

Hi there, I recently had a top end and very experienced endocrinologist tell me that the 1.6mcg of levo per KG in weight was an old fashioned and outdated theory. Is this the case? I have just upped to 100mcg and was just wondering if I’m on the right dose. He seems to think that’s ok for me.
