advice please
Hi I have graves disease and been treated since I was diagnosed in 2014. I take low dose of carbimazole alternate days and had a blood test at 9am a couple of days ago. Normally the GP will only ask the lab for TSH, but this was a 'well woman' check up so the lab also did T4 and T3. I ws a bit concerned

Struggling
My understanding GP left our practice a few months ago. I was asked to have a blood test as an annual medication review. My TSH had climbed from 0.46 to 1.24 (0.4-4.5). I was taking 50mg Levo but was tired, my hair was falling out, I felt cold and my weight had climbed by 5kg. The GP rang to ask me to

Feeling worse with raised T4/T3 levels
Hello, I have an appointment with my thyroid specialist in a couple of weeks. I've just had my latest blood test results back and I am feeling very confused and hoping for some help ahead of the appointment so that I am better informed. It will only be a 15 minute appointment so not much time to ask

Latest thyroid results and finally think I'm getting the hang of this
After a disastrous fling with 2 grains or armour which a private doc moved me to (no titrating), I stopped all thyroid meds for 2 weeks. I introduced armour at 1/4 grain on 24/8/24 and titrated to 1/2 grain a week later, a week after that I started to feel unwell again, I now realise it was possibly

Suspected Vulvadynia? Severe and constant clitoris pain/burning with some pain underneath. All exacerbated by sitting/walking/weeing.
Me and my husband had sex over 6 weeks ago a few days after I began with burning type pain mainly at the front around my clitoris but it did seem to radiate underneath. I began drinking lots of water thinking I have cystitis. 1 week later I saw a GP and although my urine sample was negative to any

Undiagnosed Hypothyroidism
I've been experiencing hypothyroid symptoms for a couple of years now. My TSH has been steadily creeping up, but so far has remained in the "normal" range when checked in my local surgery, around 3.4. I had some private tests done and my TSH was shown as 4.4 (June) and 5.9 (August). My second test

Hoping you can shed some light on my husband’s medichecks test. He takes 125 mcg of thyroxine and had been feeling really well up until a month or so. He now had a very dry annoying cough (xray showed his chest was clear) and feeling very poorly, napping in the afternoon which is unusual. He had a gp

Stop Prednisone completely?
I was diagnosed with PMR about one year ago and placed on 13mg of P. It hit me most in the shoulders and hips: e.g., I could not pull up my trousers because the action of doing so naturally moves your elbows towards the rear of the center line of one's body and that caused great pain. Could also

Underactive thyroid???
I was diagnosed recently with underactive thyroid and prescribed Levothyroxine. I wasn’t happy about taking any medication without further investigation so requested a T3 blood test. My results were T4 = 10.9, TSH = 2.82, T3 = 3.1 From this I gather that the TSH and T3 are within the normal range

Hi! I’m in Norway. I have been just been prescribed Carbimazole. Dose: 5 mg (2 tablets in the morning and 2 in the evening) I have had 3 blood tests over the last year and I suspect my new doc (GP) only just looked at the latest to be honest but they have stayed mostly the same I have normal TSH

What companies do you recommend for private affordable blood tests as I can’t remember the ones you’ve mentioned before . Thanks
Louise - hypothyroid , just want to have them done privately for my endocrinologist I got through this website , as my GP’s won’t understand how the thyroid TSH works etc etc ( without me having to go into it you all know what I mean anyway - almost easier to get them done privately rather than on NHS
