Sussex hospitals no longer giving fT4 result on thyroid function tests
Hello, Writing this post in case it helps prepare others rather than for advice (but feel free to advise if you wish!). I had a blood test last Friday not because of hypothyroidism but the test included "thyroid function". My results came back with just TSH being reported, no fT4 as I have been used

Advice please - Just been prescribed 10mg carbimazole
Hi there , I just wanted some advice. I was recently referred to an endocrinologist as I had been having hormone tests due to family history of early menopause and planning for pregnancy etc. my results showed low TSH (<0.02 mouth/L) and when they retested showed high T3 (7.6 pool/L) and low TSH.

Below range neutrophils and hypothyroidism - the Link between…….
This subject was touched on within another post but I’d like to open up a new post and discussion about this issue please? I thought it was coincidental that Since becoming hypothyroid due to a partial thyroidectomy, my kappa lambada neutrophil ratio has been consistently testing just below range,

NHS Testing
Hi - those of use lucky enough to be prescribed T3 on the NHS: Does your endocrinologist test T3 and T4 or just TSH? I know too many just rely on TSH but to the extent that they don’t even test T3 or T4 when you’re on Liothyronine? I had a monitoring test that seems to only have been TSH. I will

Hi I have graves disease and been treated since I was diagnosed in 2014. I take low dose of carbimazole alternate days and had a blood test at 9am a couple of days ago. Normally the GP will only ask the lab for TSH, but this was a 'well woman' check up so the lab also did T4 and T3. I ws a bit concerned

Struggling
My understanding GP left our practice a few months ago. I was asked to have a blood test as an annual medication review. My TSH had climbed from 0.46 to 1.24 (0.4-4.5). I was taking 50mg Levo but was tired, my hair was falling out, I felt cold and my weight had climbed by 5kg. The GP rang to ask me to

Leading endos' replies to my question: "Can problems be caused by a suppressed TSH or high/over range T4/T3?"
So many of us are told by doctors that a very low/suppressed TSH will probably cause AFib or osteoporosis, and we have our dose reduced. We maintain that it's a high/over range T4 and T3 that may do that, not the TSH level. We say that as long as T4 and T3 are well within their reference ranges, we
