The TSH and diogenes
I just found this, written by diogenes some time ago, that I saved:
The following papers from the Japanese shows that, in people with no working thyroid, "normal" healthy-type conditions on T4 therapy only occur if TSH is between 0.03-0.5.
Above this, hypo symptoms are still present. You

Testing when on single dose T3, anyone tested to see peak?
My recent blood tests I decided it would be interesting to see what my level of fT3 would be on a normal day, so I took my usual early am dose of 15mcg and tested 5 hours later (9am) So 8.23 (3.1 - 6.8)

Thinking of Stopping Treatment Due to Continued Weight Gain
Over the last 2+ years Ive gained 50 pounds due to premature Ovarian Failure and Hypothyroidism. I was originally diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2014. My whole medical history is explained in my prior posts. I would retype but my history is super complicated due to rare illness. I have now been on

High TSH - and GP not advising treatment, any advice?
I've been advised I have abnormal (higher than it should be) TSH following 2 blood tests done over the last 12 weeks . The comment from the GP so far is to do nothing apart from wait 1 year and have another blood test. I've requested an appointment with the GP to discuss this as I'm not happy with a

Thyroid Testing
My husband, almost 72, just had blood work with everything good except cholesterol (little high 227) and high TSH 7.93, slightly low T4. He has no symptoms of hypothyroidism! Since he has no symptoms, we're waiting 3 months to retest and T3 also, and he works 45 hours a week loading and unloading yard

Chronic pain , degenerative spinal disease
I am at the end of my tether with chronic pain and more recently, peripheral neuropathy. Every 8 weeks I have a B12 injection for management of Pernicious Anaemia diagnosed in 1985. However, the pains shooting into my toes and burning sensation around week 6, drives me crazy. The GP is nice but does

Private Test Results
Hi I've just got my private test results and would like to know if these are ok. The test was only a cheap one so don't have any vitamin results. I have been taking T3 1 x 20mg for 2 weeks now and although my GP said I should have a test after 6 weeks, I decided to do a private test. The main reason

Some advice on new lab results please
I am a 40 year old woman and have been feeling very weird lately. I was wondering if I entered perimenopause so I had a blood draw on 21st day of my cycle. I think my progesterone is low? estradiol: 110 ng/L progesteron: 9.13 microgram/L LH: 11.7 U/L FSH: 7.9 U/L (I am not on HRT)

As I feel well atm I would be grateful for some opinions on this as my Free T3 though high in range isn’t over. My Ferritin is always high but my GP seems

Suppression of TSH but low T4/T3 levels whilst taking Levo/Lio Combo
A few years ago, my thyroid results were looking a lot better but NHS GP over the last 2 years has told me to reduce my dosage twice (because of the 'risks' of overtreatment). I'm now on 100mcg levothyroxine (75mcg supplied by GP and topped up by myself) and 25mcg liothyronine (self-sourced). I now don't

Ferritin Questions
Hi everyone. I self inject b12, 3x per week. I also take a daily dose of methylfolate. In the past both of these have been extremely low, along with very low ferritin. Of late I have wondered if my iron was dropping, so requested bloods a couple of weeks ago. Folate happily is pretty good at 19( at
