Can an increase in thyroxine cause an upset tummy?
I was on 100mc of thyroxine for years. My GP decided to decrease my dose to 75 without any tests or discussion. When I left a message for her to tell her I felt less well on the lower dose she said to alternate 75 and 100 for three months, then get a blood test. Results showed my dose had to go back

Just having a bad day
April hasn't been a good month for me and synotoms. Been on only 50mcg levo since end of September. Only JUST this week got an increase to 75 thanks to the private bloods I did due to recommendations on this site. First I caught a sinus cold at the start of Easter break, which triggered a flare up

Blood test
I have an app with endocrinologist next week. I know he will want to take bloods so what should i do about my thyroxine . Normally if bloods were taken at 9 I d not take my tablet until after the test but my app isn’t until 1.30. Should I take my levo that day or not??

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

Long-awaited Advanced Thyroid Test from Medichecks.
I’d be very grateful for your views on my recent test results. I can see that there has been some improvement since Nov 2022, perhaps not enough in some areas? CRP - 1.76 range <3 Ferritin - 164 range 30-650 Folate - 10.5 r <7 B12 - 73.7 r 37.5-188 Vit D - 103 r 50-250 TSH - 0.515 r 0.27-4.2

Advice Needed
I’ve had hypothyroidism for 20 years +, I take 200mcg Thyroxine and 60mcg Liothyronine and have for the 20 years since I was diagnosed. My blood test results have always been similar (usually towards the top of the range, but that’s my normal) Last years blood test was more mid range. I don’t have any

Had a blood test this morning - email results this evening!

still confused about my iron results
I’ve now redone my iron panel with medichecks and have similar results to last time. I can’t work out why my ferritin continues to drop. And what I can do about it as I know I need higher ferritin levels for optimum thyroid hormone function. …………………………… Ferritin……….Iron……….. Trans. Sat………..TIBC……….

Sore stomach on apixaban
I’ve been on apixaban for just over 2 months and have 3 weeks to go, then 4 weeks off before a d dimer blood test. I’ve had awful stomach cramps for a couple of weeks, blood in stools and leaking watery blood like I’m wetting myself (lovely picture!). The doctor is sending me for the fast track bladder

Sensitive post: BFP after 7th transfer but Prednisolone immediately stopped
Hi, yesterday I had the news I have been waiting for, finally a BFP after my 7th transfer (my first BFP in almost 3 years which ended in miscarriage). Whilst I am over the moon, I am also filled with fear. I have no more BETA tests booked in so next step is viability scan in 3 weeks. This morning I

My Gabapentin Dilemma
Help! I need some advice regarding my Gabapentin treatments. This is my first post so I hope I don’t ramble too much. I’m over 70 years old with RLS for over 30-40 years. Fortunately I don’t have RLS attacks during the day but have them almost every night after I fall asleep. On high doses of Gabapentin

Newbie trying to get off Pram
I've been on 2x 0.088 for a while. Compared to what I've been reading on the forum it sounds a low dose....I think.I started augmenting so managed to get Gaba from GP the other day. GP said I could come straight off Pram but I've taken 1 x 0.088 tonight with 300mg gaba. It's 02.15 and my legs are going

Found some old results
From all my test results in my bio, it is known I am a poor convertor. From recommendations within the Group back in 2016 it was felt I needed to add some T3, which my Endo at the time wouldn't do because of my severe anxiety levels and he said it would have to be dosed very carefully. I started the

recurring illnesses
I’ve been trying to get stable on t3/4 combination, still a way to go as last results after increasing to 10 mcg liothyronine in 2 doses were the worst yet, t3 and t4 both at bottom of range, vitamin D draining away again despite supplements. I’ve increased levothyroxine back up to 75 ( I was advised

Protein in my urine
Hi there! I am 6 months post kidney transplant. First I'd like to say that I was very blessed, I was approved and put on the list May 3, 2023 and I received my new kidney from a perfect match deceased donor June 13, 2023. My transplant team said that is very rare and very lucky. I have had some challenges
