Hashimoto’s or Graves’ symptoms or…? Help to clarify please.
Hi everybody! I’m new here. Would be very grateful for your advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 17 years ago. It was in different country not in the UK. I have never been on medication as I was told if my T4 level is ok I don’t need any pills. I’m now in UK for about 5 years. I’ve never seen endocrinologist

Need advice understanding results
Hi, I’m after some advice, I’m a 40 year old male and this year I’ve not been feeling great. I’m tired a lot, depressed, anxiety, no energy, high cholesterol and just generally feel awful much of the time. I’ve not been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and didn’t even know what it was at the start of the

Well I never expected that , Endo appointment Thursday at 5 pm
So I am in Liverpool, I have asked 4 times over the last 3 or 4 years for a referral nand refused each time. Following on from Sneaky GP saga, GP lying that I consented to reduction in meds in November. I asked for her entry in my notes to be removed as it was incorrect and it has not been. They refuse

Feeling like something stuck in my throat on swallowing - any thoughts please
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing ? I guess it is down to some issue in my thyroid - but there are no visual lumps externally, just this weird sensation on swallowing. It started in March . Three weeks ago I have had annual bloods by GP and as my TSH is suppressed

IGF-1 Blood Test
I have had the results of my IGF-1 blood test. It’s 26.4nmol/L. The endo has said he thinks it’s because I’m over medicated with my thyroid medication. He’s arranged an OGTT. I’m currently on 75mcg T4 and 10mcg T3. I recently lowered the dose from 100mcg/10mcg. I had been on that dose for a long time

Dr Antony Toft Thyroid specialist re treating some patients with combi of T3 to their Levo can somebody send me the link please
Hi All, I have a GP call today on the back of a pretty scathing consultant F/u letter, with the aim to get me off NDT (agreed by previous Consultant) to raise my TSH by giving me a lower dose of Levo. An all too familiar story I know. That said this is a new GP who possibly knows very little about DIO2

Reduced levo
Hi. Doctor suggested I reduce levo as over 60 years now and surpressed TSH risk for osteoporosis. Like a fool, I agreed to a reduction of 25mcgs every other day even though I felt very well for the last seven years on my dose. After 3 weeks terrible heart palpitations mainly after eating. Slowed

Borderline TSH during cancer treatment
Hi folks! Haven't been on here for some time but in the interim I have been treated for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. Had chemo in September last year which was successful (minus a few hiccups like fungal pneumonia that put me in ICU!) and currently on home oral chemo, antifungals and antibiotics daily
