thyroid trouble please help!
first time poster here, 37yo M. I have been feeling exhausted for a long time now and been struggling with constipation. We can’t find a reason for this but my GP did some bloods that showed a normal T4/T3 but a TSH of 3.7 which is the upper limit of the normal range. I have been begging to trial thyroid

Got in a mess over reduction of T4
If possible could greygoose TiggerMeor anyone else offer some much needed advice. A few weeks ago I reduced t4 to 75/100 over one week (high t4) I felt very under medicated so then increased again. I then changed to a lactose free make to see if accord was causing the acid reflux. Recently

TEVA 100mcg Thyroxine
I had taken another brand for many years and have now been switched to TEVA. This happened a short while ago and since then I feel much more tired with aching joints. Is this coincidence? Overall my dose has been reduced from 100/day to 100 Mon-Fri and 75 Sat, Sun. This is addition to T3 12.5 mcg

Introduced T3, feeling exhausted & gaining weight
Hello there, I've been introducing T3 slowly since Feb 24 - started 5mcg for 6 weeks then up to 7.5mcg and now 10 mcg per day. Also taking levo - started at 137.5mcg, then when I introduced T3 (and T4 went down), endo increased levo to 150, and then 6 weeks later T4 still too low, increased levo to

Problem absorbing T4/T3
Just wondering if anyone knows how you can tell if you are not absorbing thyroxine and liothyronine due to gut/stomach problems. Will your TSH and T4/T3 blood levels show you have enough hormone - i.e. will it still get into your blood but not other parts of your system. I currently have a diverticulosis

Hi All I would count myself as part diagnosed. As in not much info coming my way. Had to do what you guys have all done which is help myself- although there have been some pitfalls. One being that i cut so many food types out of my diet that i'm now scared to add things back in along with dosage changes

Help, GP appointment tomorrow still can't get them to listen.
So the saga continues, Sneaky GP has refused to reinstate 150mcg daily since reducing it to 150mcg eod in November when TSH 0.01 , 0.27- 4.2, FT4 21.6 12-22, .my HbA1c went up to 54 Vit D 125 , Endo recently said this level was dangerously toxic thought the range BH anyway of 75-200 was optimal

Thyroid cancer, hypothyroidism and kidney function
Hello, I’m usually on the pernicious anaemia forum but I’ve been recovering from a diagnostic hemithyroidectomy confirming thyroid cancer. I think I am beginning to enter hypothyroidism in a big way and am waiting for my NHS TSH test results. I know that private free t3/t4 etc. testing is better but

Constantly overheated
I’ve had hypothyroidism for over 10 years and first few years struggled to get my meds correct in terms of ‘ how I feel’ (unbelievably sluggish and tired) which has meant fighting my Gp to allow TSH to be on low side (0.03). As I’m in UK they won’t test T3 levels only TSH and sometimes T4 (which last

First bloods after starting levothyroxine only TSH tested?
Good morning, I asked for both T4 & T3 to be tested? The nurse explained that "it's only done at the lab if needed" so how's that going to work? How will the GP know if I need an increase etc.....no answer? What are we dealing with here? Has it always been this way or is it because the NHS is basically

Hi all, I did a home test earlier this year after covid that showed I'd become hypothyroid, (I'm now ok). I would like to show these results to my specialist but he only accepts results that have the patients name on the same page as the test results. MMH have graphs meaning my details at the top
