does 12.5 mcg make much of a difference ?
i decided august 2023 to increase my dose from 75 to 100 on my own based on symptoms and results TSH 0.27 - 4.2 R 1.17 FREE T3 3.1 - 6.8 R 4.49 FREE THYROXINE 12 - 22 R 16.7 but I became over medicated, symptoms and bloods to confirm. On 75 I was experiencing quite obvious strong hypothyroid

Overactive again, but why? What to do?
I have an endo appt on Monday (25th Sep 2023). Before that, I'd appreciate your thoughts on what you all think may be happening and why. It might help me get the most out of the appointment. Apologies for the long post — I felt I needed to fill in some background.

Blood Test Results
Hi I have trouble getting a GP appointment - in that I never get one. Test results are relayed via the receptionist so never any opportunity to ask questions. This is the latest test and as a result I've been told to vary my dose (normally 125mcg) taking 100mcg alternate days, 125mcg on the others.

Hello, recent results : Serum tsh level 1.1 my/L (0.35-4.9) GP says normal. I am in horrendous pain in upper back and neck. This has been on and off for years. Seems to have started with a stressful event at work and lasted for weeks. GP will possibly refer me to pain clinic again. I am off work

Yearly endo nonsense
I've given up ranting, this just seems to be yearly confirmation of what we are up against (sadly most don't get as far as Endochrinoloy. My GP surgery recently asked me to confirm my Levo dose? They prescribe it each month so is it compliance? I replied 150mcg Levothyroxine and 10mcg Liothyronine (I've

Hi, I was diagnosed with PA in 2013/14 and was given injections for a while but that stopped a good few years ago. I had tests done via Endo a while back and they said my levels were fine despite no injections/supplements. I had tests done in May 2023 and the active b12 came back as high. It showed

TSH and Levothyroxine help
My TSH in November 2023 was 6.92 mlU/L whilst on 100mg Levothyroxine. My GP increased my dose to 125mg. Repeat TSH March 2024 is 0.106 mlU/L. Awaiting my GP appointment but wondering how an additional 25mg of Levo has taken my TSH result from one side of the normal range scale to the other?

Help Interpreting Results
Hi. Can I have advice on results? These are from a while back for anyone who has read my recent posts. I was on 1 tablet of T3 a day at this point. I previously had high thyroid antibodies but the LDN I take seems to have lowered them to be in range. I was wondering if the same has happened with pernicious

TSH and T4 raising on medications
Hi Initially, my TSH level was 8 mIU/L (normal range 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L), with T3 and T4 within normal ranges. Upon starting a 0.25 euthyrox (T4) dosage, my TSH surged to 18, coinciding with the onset of mild discomfort in my rectal area, which I suspect may be hemorrhoids. Despite a dosage increase to

Starting T3
Hi I had appointment with private GP and the plan is for me to start T3. I am currently taking 75/100 mg Levothyroxine alternate days. My latest results were TSH 1.28, T3 4, T4 20.4 I’m told my conversion rate is poor at 5.1. It’s suggested that I take 2.5 mcg 3 times a day to begin. If I feel ok after
