Covid & dosing
Hi, I tested +ve for covid this morning. It's the first time I've had it. I've had 5 vacs. My temperature is high & I'm taking paracetamol for that.My question is, should I alter my T4/NDT dose? I haven't been ill at all since I started on thyroid meds in 2015. I wondered if I should increase, decrease

secondary hypo and doctor questioning diagnosis
Hello everyone, I moved to a new GP in the last few years (house move). When I moved, my doctor just continued prescribing levothyroxine because it was on my records and although he wasn't testing T3 he did look at T4 and seemed to listen to me when I explained the levels I needed to be at, in order

Unlicensed thyroid meds on NHS?
Hi guysI'm in a sticky situation here... I've ben on 150mg for 22 years. However, in 2018 I developed an immune problem which means that I react badly to the fillers in meds (throat and tongue swelling). I've been through every option licensed by the NHS, and react to all of them. Private script

Advice needed...
After being on 125mcg Levo for 25 years it was reduced to 100mch last year as my GP said my blood results were indicating over-medicating. I asked for an Endo referral and he carried out a blood test which showed the following... TSH 7.01 T4 13 T3 3.6 He then advised my GP to increase Levo to 125mcg

Neurological pain - carpal tunnel syndrome.
Hi all, I wanted to ask if there is any hypo/Hashi’s folk on this forum who has the same or similar presentation to me. About 12 years ago, after being diagnosed with celiac disease the GP ran some blood tests for my thyroid. The TSH level came back very high and out of range. The GP asked me if I felt

New here, undiagnosed, Normal TSH Low T4
Hi Long story short - I have had many Hypothyroid symptoms for many years and after having had some private bloods done I finally managed to get my NHS GP to request a T4 test which she accepts is low and confusing for her as my TSH is normal. She has said she will ask an endocrinologist for advice

CFS clinic
Hello 👋 At last GP appt I was told that my symptoms couldn't be thyroid related and have been referred to CFS clinic. I'm not yet out of range TSH wise. I haven't tested privately recently as I've just increased all recommended vitamins so will give those chance to work before a new test. Just wondering

Strange Result
I recently did my thyroid tests.2.1.24 Monitor My Health taking 87.5 mcg levothyroxine, 12.5 mcg liothyronine for the last 8 weeks. TSH 0.02 mu/L FT3 4.3 pmol/L 32.43% FT4 18.7 pmol/L 67% Based on these results, I decided that I should be able to make a bigger step in my liothyronine to 25 mcg. Typically

Synthroid vs Cytomel's effect on TSH Suppression
For the last 6 weeks I haven't felt well, but it took until 4 days ago to realize that the individual symptoms that have been having were related and were a reappearance of hypothyroid symptoms. I met with my MD today and told him that a few days ago it became clear that the cluster of 6 or 7 symptoms

Hashi's with a nodule on the last 3rd of gland advice
Good Afternoon, I've had 2 Thyroid operations and I'm left with a third of the gland. I'm fortunate in that it's producing thyroid hormones but I still feel pretty rotten most of the time. Fatigue, bone pain, feeling cold, brain fog and constipation to name but a few symptoms. My recent private blood

Blood results
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2015. I was treated with 50 micrograms of levothyroxine daily until this March when my Tsh finally crept above the Normal range.(0.55- 4.78). My dose was raised to 75 micrograms. At my 6 month checkup my Tsh had dropped from 4.91 to 0.38. Thanks to the information
