Hypothyroidism and cholesterol - also fluctuating TSH?
This is my first post on thyroid UK but I was advised to come here from the cholesterol forum. I am 32 years old and I have hypothyroidism. I was initially found to have high cholesterol back in 2016. It was 5.8 (<5.0) I have also been getting white plaques of skin around my eyes, the nurse said that

Graves - next stage
Hi all, I have posted a couple of times but still a newbie when Graves is concerned. Seen my endo consultant in April, diagnosed as having Graves’ disease (antibodies present) told to increase my carbimazole to 40mg for 6 weeks and then back to 20mg. Also told to stop propanol gradually. GP put me

Support before GP visit
I am so very confused about what to do with my situation. Anti-parietal cells have been confirmed in 2013, but I've not had treatment for this. I am repeatedly told my diagnosis is not something I need to worry about at the moment. In terms of facts, my most recent blood test taken on the 12th June 2018

Hi All, I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful sunny day (well it is in the south of UK)! I had a phone consultation with my GP after test results and she got advice from the endo. Dr said she’s not going to prescribe levo yet(as I expected) and booked me in for a repeat blood test in a month. She did

Perhaps not utilising B12 - how to know? what to do?
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I don't *think* I have PA but it's one of several possibilities that I'm looking into. My profile has more info and you're welcome to stalk me on the Thyroid UK forum if you like. ;) but I'll give a brief background after my question here. Is it possible to have high B12 levels

Iron alternatives + iron interactions
I've been put on Ferrous Fumarate and can't tolerate it. I think I've read that this isn't the "best" form to take - am I remembering right? If it's true, does "best" mean most easily aborbed, most effective, or what? And what's best for correcting low ferritin? My ferritin was very low a few weeks ago
