blood test timings
just a quickie. As I’m on NDT I believe my blood test needs to be 12 hours after my dose. If the blood test came back a third through the range was I right to increase? I did this test on a non training day for worst case scenario.

Thyroid antibodies test
My daughter had a thyroid antibodies test in May which was quite high. The hospital referred her back to our GP to be monitored for underactive thyroid. I have seen some posts that say antibodies test is a sign of Hashimoto's or Graves disease so I am just looking for some advice and guidance as I

Here are my blood test results as promised…..
I’d be really grateful if you could take a look at my test results below and let me know what you think please. Since having the left side of my thyroid removed in February 23 because of a suspiciously large nodule, my blood tests had showed lower than optimum levels and so I was started on Levothyroxine

Acid Reflux - coughing
I have been suffering for the last 7 weeks with a constant cough. I take Gaviscon and 1 x 20mg omeprazole, I have not seen a doctor yet as I have been away. Does anyone else get a constant cough which may be related to GERD? I also now have a runny nose but can't be a cold as I've had it so long. Can

Inhaler post pneumonia, awaiting lung scarring diagnosis?
Hi first time posting - hoping someone can help!

Borderline Thyroid test
Hello everyone, Just looking for a bit of advice. Judging from these posts, I am not alone. I've been feeling pretty lousy for as long as I can remember. Irregular periods, hair falling out, cold sensitivity, tingly fingers and debilitating fatigue. The fatigue is the worst. I just want to crawl back

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience

NDT from Germany or Denmark
Hi all, After a disastrous health meltdown on levothyroxine I've been very happy on Armour NDT for several years - except now I can't afford it. Can anyone explain how to get comparable NDT medication within the EU? How good are they and what kind of cost? Do I need a prescription and if so how do I

Thyroid S
Hi fellow thyroid sufferers I’ve recently started on Thyroid S purchased from Thailand and am taking 2.5 grains like I did with my Thyroid T Man, I think it was called (pink tablets) and I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve not had great sleep lately or due to changing to this new NDT, but I’ve noticed

How does synthetic t4 convert to the active t3 after a thyroidectomy?
Is it the same place & way if one still has their thyroid? Ie. When you all note that hormones given replace the thyroid, not top it up if the thyroid is still in place, does it then not matter if one has a thyroid for this mechanism? (Not discussing taking anyone's thyroid without obvious dire need

Cold Agglutinin
Another test in my continuing saga. I am now being tested for cold agglutinin. Dr's note below. "A prior DAT was negative, but a second one conducted on Feb. 14 was positive.

GP not doing regular thyroid bloods.
How often should gp do thyroid bloods please? My main thyroid problem is fatigue, it’s not there all the time, comes and goes. So, I would like them done every 8 weeks, as I try different combos of Levo, T3 and Thyroid S, till I feel better. However, mine doesn’t do anything at all until I chase her
