Symptoms of thyroid issues but tests normal
Hi, can anyone help me understand please? My thyroid tests keep coming back as normal but I have symptoms which I’m trying to unpick from menopause symptoms. I’m on HRT but still feel cold, get crashing fatigue, have missing outer third of eyebrows, brain fog, low mood etc. My folate came back as low

Sleep Study
I had a flare up at the end of Jan which I didn’t recognise as a typical flare up. Did NOT start as a typical cold/sore throat & turn to chest infection as normal (so I’m still not entirely sure what it was, although doc said bloods suggested viral/bacterial). Everything became very tight / dry in my

Gastric reflux and thyroid problems related?
Since my thyroid was removed I started with something called pathological reflux, since then this has been getting worse, I have taken proton pump inhibitors, pepsane, natural supplements, etc. but they have helped little, I had three endoscopies, Ph meteria, manometry , they told me that I did not have

High thyroid TPO antibodies, 14 year old.
Hi all, my daughter has high thyroid antibodies and they are getting higher . Pretty sure they are at 117 currently. All other testing is ok. She is on iron supplements for previously low iron and heavy periods. Should I be concerned, what should I do. The doctor doesn’t seem to worried. Thanks

Cough After Eating
This is the most recent episode of my mum’s PSP, she barely chokes, now we are dealing with after a meal cough, she coughs few mins after having her meals(different meals). I got her a cough syrup that helps after a while. Has this happened to anyone or experienced this, any solution? Her next appointment

Infections like pneumonia and sinus. Lessons learned.
I’m saddened and sorry for all those who have been suffering from pneumonia and respiratory infections. Been posted of late. As a physician who knows better, I wish I’d followed my on advice to do ALL of the following 1. Test right away for COVID 2. Get a complete viral nasal swab to be tested

I’m confused 😕
Isn’t the serum C reactive protein meant to be raised when we have an autoimmune disease like hashimotos? mine isn’t 🤔 Or is it just the TPO that is raised? Thanks in advance for any help with this…

Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Test results
Afternoon, My Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Panel results have arrived after a long wait and I’d appreciate some help understanding them. I undertook the test to check my DIO1 and DIO2 status, both of which appear ‘normal’ (no inherited defects). However, three variants are flagged up in either red

any secondary cancers after thyroidectomy?
I’m just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with a secondary cancer - particularly renal or bladder - after having thyroid cancer. I have read the chances are raised but I can’t find out by how much. I’m currently undergoing investigation. thank you x

Thyroid Antibodies
Just read a post from Thyroid UK about antibodies. The raised TPO connection seems clear, but then It says “The next group is the TG Ab. These levels rise as well as the TPO Ab levels in autoimmune thyroiditis, but to a lesser degree...” I don’t understand what this is saying…does it mean that BOTH

Hashimotos for Sixteen Years, Realizing I Know Next to Nothing
This is a long story, and as with so much in this "we have too much info" age, I'm probably over-responding, but, I was recently blindsided by a new health condition, and I don't fancy having it happen again if there are cues available. I've had hypothyroidism/Hashimotos for 16-17 years, at least based

Cardio and thyroidism
5and a half years ago I suffered a heart attack. I had a stent implanted and went to cardio rehab. I have noticed over the last year I get tired quickly and have shortage of breath. I was shocked to be told by my new doctor that I have an underactive thyroid. My question is this! Is my heart contributing

What tests are needed?
Hi, My husband is on Lithium and his regular bloods from that clinic showed his thyroid results were off so he was sent to the GP for testing. The nurse said his results were fine. We haven’t been able to access the results and I imagine they only did TSH or basic tests. I want to get our own tests

Have you experience of Chemotherapy and underactive thyroid?
I have recently completed chemo following surgery for a bowel tumour. I was wondering if anyone has experience of chemotherapy and underactive thyroid? I have continued to take 75 T4 and 20 T3. It’s difficult to know if the fatigue / sleep problems are to do with the thyroid or chemo. many thanks.
