Test results
Hi Everyone, I'd appreciate some help understanding my test results. As far as I can see my TSH looks high and the others look low. I've been on 50mg levo for about 2 years. My GP has added 'no further action' under the results. Is this right? I had expected my dose to be increased this time, as I've

TSH a little high, Ft3 low?
Hi. Here are my latest results. My cholesterol is also a little high which I believe may indicate my thyroid may be a little undermedicated. I'm on 125mcg Levothyroxine. I stopped T3 late last year as I was having terrible sleep with night sweats at the time (I was also on the T3 withdrawal clinic).

Elbow Bursitis
Now that I have been on T3 Liothyronine for a few weeks some symptoms are improving. I was feeling much less stiff, and muscle pain had improved. Unfortunately I have now developed what I think is an elbow bursitis. When I read about it most articles say you are at higher risk with Thyroid disease. Currently

advice on most recent Thyroid bloods as seeing Endo in 1/10/24
Hi I was getting my thyroid checked as I had a 24 hr ecg and the report suggested it, I think due to palpitations /missed beats. Also seeing Endo 1/10 so she usually asks if I’d get them checked . Here goes TSH 3.80. Range 0.30-4.50 FT4 14.9 “ 11.0-22.0 FT3. 3.5.

Raised TSH Causes…
If you don’t have hypothyroidism but have [u]persistently[/u] raised TSH - what are other causes of this? I have read so far it can be caused by adrenal insufficiency, inflammation, immune system problems. Is there anything else? Anyone else find their raised TSH (normal ft4/3) is due to something

Virus Infection Activates Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Synthesis in Intestinal Epithelial Cells
OK - so this is in mice. But the implications could be significant. Especially if the amount of TSH produced is anything like what the pituitary can produce. Also whether thyroid hormone would affect production of TSH within intestinal epithelial cells? If so, the taking of any thyroid hormone orally

How soon should blood be tested after initial hypothyroidism diagnosis/treatment?
Hello there, I received a diagnosis of hypothyroidism last month on a visit to hospital for a fast heart rate/after bloods were taken. My TSH was 37.5. The hospital started me on 50mg of Levothyroxine and said I should be tested after six weeks. I have today received a text message from my Dr, stating

Hypothyroid diagnosis
Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me. I used to be really skinny as a teenager and lived in a sunny country. One day my neck got very swollen and after this repeating a few times I decided to visit a doctor who said I had thyroid issues. I can't remember the diagnosis back then but he said I would

Positive outcome!
I had a review last week regarding my thyroid medication. The Dr refused to increase T4 due to suppressed TSH, despite my FT3 & FT4 being low in range. 'Guidelines' were mentioned.I agreed to an endo appointment, but pointed out the one I had in 2021 where he said 'if she feels well, leave her alone

Blood test comments before Endo appointment, please
I had blood tests done last month and the FT3 reading is high. I am concerned my endo may want to lower my dose (Thybon 20Henning). He sees me once a year when it is time to order another year's supply. He is registered in France as well as the UK so his prescriptions are valid in the EU. My tests

A little help to manage some symptoms
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in May 2020. It’s not been a happy ride. I’m on Accord levothyroxine 75/100 mcgs, (although Endo would like to see this reduced to 75 daily because of low TSH result.) TSH 0.18mU/L (0.34-5.6) FT4 11.1pmol/L (7.7-15.1) FT3 5.2pmol/L (4.3-6.8 ) HbA1c 32mmol
