Latest results on armour
I’ve just been sent some results by my private doc. She asked that I swap from 50 Levo/6 t3 at the beginning of June to 2 grains of armour. After 3 weeks I hit a wall and have reduced it to 1 grain and now 1/2 grain fro the past week as I just felt so awful on it. Any thoughts welcome. TSH: 0.025 (

Deficiency affecting labs
Hello everyone!I wanted to ask if someone knew if any vitamin or mineral deficiency can cause low TSH or the thyroid labs in general. For context: i had for a long time hypo symptoms even though i am on levo. My tsh was on the low side (around 0.5) so no doctor increased my meds. By chance i found

My latest blood results
Following my last post with my hypo blood results, my extreme tiredness has been officially diagnosed as, Exhaustion! I was quite relieved that it wasn't anything else like my heart or other. Anyway, to be sure, my Doc ordered a blood test, which included at least 13 items. I got the results on Tuesday

Should I increase my dose of Levo?
My potted history is in my profile. My current predicament is that after 7 months of feeling awful, on 5th July I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (I could have told them earlier myself!), given Levothyroxine by the endocrinologist (50 micrograms per day), who said would test me again in two months.

51 yr old woman with lots of symptoms needing help understanding results!
Hello! There is a history of thyroid disorders in my family (sister, mum, grandmother). I have increasingly more health issues that may or may not be also linked to peri-menopause although I have been on HRT for a while.

Graves in couples
hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Graves (I’m 42) and my husband was diagnosed in 2008 (age 29) and relapsed in 2018 (currently in remission). I have discovered that George and Barbara Bush also both had Graves and although the cause was investigated, it was never found why both got it. Their dog

How bad is TSH 18?
For several years TSH has been consistent, thyroxine stayed the same at 100mcg. Last year TSH was 1.8, this year - 18!!! I know this is bad, but just how bad is it? I can't find anything helpful online, all any site seems to give is the normal range. They're going to begin by adding another 25mcg with

thyroid test results
I wrote on here before about my results and you really helped. I’ve been trying to raise my ft4 and lower my tsh. I had been on 25mg levothyroxine and increased in increments of 25. After the first increase to 50 my tsh went down and ft4 up, increased to 75, first test after that ft4 rose slightly but
