Advice please!
Hi all, I’m new here, but I’ll try to be as brief as possible! I’ve been treated for Hypothyroidism since 2004 ( diagnosed by the late, great Dr Gordon Skinner by my symptoms and not the biochemistry thankfully) All well for past 19 or so years, on T4 125ug and then T3 4 x 20ug added gradually 12

advice on results please!!
Hi, I recently had my bloods done with monitor my health on 10/01/24 and the results indicated low folate and thyroid levels not optimal. I then spoke to my GP but they dismissed the private tests and asked for me to have my bloods done again which I had done on 25/01/24 only because I got the appointment

New Consultant-Different Plan
Long story short- long battle to get diagnosis although received in 2019 and Hashimoto’s confirmed. After several attempts to stabilise on mono therapy I was lucky enough after several years of strife and illness to be allocated an endo who listened to me, took cortisol levels (low) addisons test (

New hyperthyroid diagnosis, no treatment as yet.
Hello kind people- thank you for reading. So I started the new year with a phonecall from my doctor informing me that indeed I wasn't peri-menopausal, but was infact suffering from hyperthyroidism instead. I'm guessing this was likely to have begun after giving birth to my last child in 2021 at the age

Thyroid-S Batch number 23T01004
I put this batch number into a search here, but nothing very recent came up. I have been taking Thyroid-S successfully for a number of years, 1.5 grains in the morning. My Free T4 is in the lower half of the range, around 14.9 (12-22) and FT3 around 5.5 (31.-6.8). I started this new batch on 28th December

blood results
Been on 50mcg for a few months and have recently been feeling awful again, so I requested repeat bloods. Results came back today: TSH 4.37 (0.3-4.2) T4: 13.8 (9-19) T3: 4.6 (3-5.4) really hope the doctors won’t argue about an increase to 75mcg 😭 I feel so shoddy doing even minimal increases so

Graves disease symptoms?
Hi there, I'm newly diagnosed (by UK GP) with Graves disease, and am waiting to see an endocrinologist who is supposed to prescribe me carbimazole. I have a question about my symptoms, which are mild but seem more consistent with hypO than hypERthyroidism: My blood test results were: -Free T3: 13.8

follow up to previous post. Help please.
Hi all, I previously posted on behalf of my Mom. TSH, B12, folate and vitamin D below was taken 21/12/23. GP prescribed 50,000 unit 1 a week for 6 weeks vitamin D caps. So we see the ones called calceous 400 unit with calcium 1 twice a day did not maintain her level. So that could be one reason why she

Help needed with test results, my GP is unhelpful!
Hello, I am desperate for some help with my results. I have had all the symptoms of under active for the last ten years. My late mum, sister, late aunt and niece all take or did take thyroxine for underactive thyroid and so it runs in my family. Last year Feb 22 my test result came back with Serum

Pub med article challenging traditional TSH-based approach
Hope the web address works - interesting! [i]In a study evaluating tissue function tests before total thyroidectomy and at 1 year postoperatively when using LT4, it was found that peripheral tissue function tests indicated mild hyperthyroidism at TSH <0.03 mU/L and mild hypothyroidism at TSH 0.3

Q re Levo not "topping up" natural thyroid hormones and side effects of overmedication
I've been prescribed levo recently and am currently struggling to work out what does works for me and doesn't send me into a jittery, irritable mess. I can't remember blood test results exactly but something like 6.8 TSH and low T3. All my other bloods were fine. I've been on a super healthy diet and

blood results
Hi, I have had my blood results back from blue horizon. The only one they said was low was the TSH at 0.06. I was expecting this as I’ve been self sourcing T3 . Little worried about what my endo will say when he reruns bloods next month, as he’s not keen to raise my levo above 50. Results are below,
