Insights on 4 years of results?
Hello to everyone on here. Does anyone have any insights to share on my results, please? I'm due another blood test with my GP next week and I have asked for a full thyroid panel, but so far they haven't agreed to that. I asked last year too, but they were only willing to measure TSH. I have read on

NDT vs T4 T3 combination therapy
Hello everyone. Please share your experience NDT vs combination therapy. Currently I am on combo but still have symptoms (I have no thyroid). I am doing better on combo than on T4 only. I want to try NDT and see if it will make me feel better. Since both of them mainly contain T4 T3 may I expect significant

Almost 40years of complexity and no end in sight?
In Feb 1987, I returned to the UK after a 3 year posting in Cyprus and we were accommodated in married quarters on a nearby former USAF base. About 6 months later, and without any warning my symptoms of tiredness and general malaise started. I was prescribed an iron tonic, which eventually I was drinking

Still fighting for a diagnosis B12, PA
Due to my ongoing failing health I've had to do my own research as to the pathway of blood test results, symptoms and the progression/knock on effects of having doctors who refuse to help.

Hi all- Hypothyroid Newbie
After suffering from pretty much of all HypoT symptoms for last 6 years i came across the Ray Pest articles and Broda Barnes work. Does anyone else have experience of self treating themselves with NDT (e.g Metavive or such like) or perhaps point me to relavent threads on this forum. My waking basal

High FSH
Hi everyone I was devastated yesterday when I found out through my blood test that my FSH levels are too high (19.8) to do my ivf round. I had a medicated cycle previously that only resulted in one egg (unfortunately this egg turned into a blastocyst but didn’t stay when implanted) this 2nd round was

Latest Results - Advice needed please
I had a blood test last week on the NHS and my results are back (shown above). I don't know the difference between pmol/L and ng/L so the Folate Serum and vitamin B12 results means very little to me. There were increases in: Vitamin D Free T3 Free T4 There were decreases in: Ferritin TSH There

Experience with Covid and hypo/hashis
Hi all, I’ve been quite stable for a number of years now. I was on NDT and doing ok but not perfect, adding a small amount of Levo to my NDT at the end of 2019 made me feel really well, pulling my FT4 up in the range a bit made a big difference. At the beginning of May this year I thought I caught

Advice please for next Roseway appt
What size T4 capsules should I ask for next? I currently take 125mcg split as 2 x 50 and 1 x 25. I'm taking Roseway's compounded T4 capsules so they can't easily be split. I had to test this week as I need my appointment next week in order not to run out, but I only completed my transition from NDT

Anyone been prescribed T3 by endo in Leeds? I need to advise my son's partner. Please send a pm (chat) to me.
Good morning, can I pick your brains? My son's partner has Hashimoto's and still has symptoms despite normal blood test results and I'm urging her to request a referral to an endocrinologist for a trial of T3. She is new to hypothyroidism and her fT4 and fT3 results indicate she is a poor converter,

Help interpreting thyroid test results
Hi. I recently had thyroid blood tests done via the NHS but I have so much brain fog I can't make head nor tail of them. My GP thinks they're a bit odd but puts it down to me taking Metavive (advised by Dr. Sarah Myhill a couple of years ago). Plus, she says I'm within the NHS range anyway so they won't

Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone

Thyroid Test Results
As a result of my GP pressurising me to reduce Levothyroxine intake I have had tests carried out privately. My weight justifies the dosage of 200mcg daily that is currently prescribed. (1.6mcg/kg) However this dosage results in incredibly low TSH levels. My GP seeks to raise TSH levels. Results are

Neuroendocrine cancer % in APC patients is not rare, it’s becoming common.
How do we help men, on this site, to reduce their chances of getting NEPC? I did a PSMA PET scan today. My blood tests looked pretty normal with psa at .5 and other tested looking like they usually do, except for blood glucose, which is normally in the 93-99 range for the past five years, but was 76

Cortisol issues
I'm fortunate in having a good GP who is very concerned about my total exhaustion and inability to cope with everyday life. She wrote to my rheumy who authorised a 9am cortisol test. It came back as 104 and he has arranged a short synacthen test in two months time. I've asked the rheumatology dept for

latest blood results…grateful for any thoughts/advice
**** I have posted screen-shots of recent results from Aug 2024 in the comments. Bit of a cock-up with timings - so it was a non-fasting, blood test taken about 7 hours after I’d had my levo (87.5mcg, been on that dose since April 2024. I’m also on HRT Evorel Sequi patches 50) - doesn’t seem to have

GP won't raise my Levothyroxine
I was diagnosed as hypothyroid in 2012. I had a similar story to so many on here, experiencing multiple underactive symptoms, feeling unwell and weight gain while on low levels of Levothyroxine replacement. By 2019, I had gained 5 stone over my pre-hypo days. I had elevated BP, high LDL levels and
