Hashimotos blood test results - Iron supplementation advice needed! Thank you
Hi again, This forum has been the most helpful support. Could you support me in understanding next steps following the below test results? In particular, my iron panel results seem to be very low, and I am not sure how to correct that. How should I start to supplement? I was diagnosed with hashimotos

Advice after recent blood test results please
I have been taking Levothyroxine for decades but only recently appreciated, after advice from this fabulous website, the correct way to undertake thyroid blood tests. After decades of iron deficiency I had an iron infusion a few months ago (therefore ferritin now high), I inject B12 regularly for Pernicious

Chest feeling off
Recently was prescribed steroids for 7 days about 2 weeks ago. Last few days my chest just feels off like heavy and as if I’m hungry for air like wanting to gulp. Before the steroids peak flow had dropped to 60% of best and since finishing them it is 80% but a fews days yo-yoing to 70% of best. Wondering

PSMA Analysis needed
I'm awaiting the visual images from my PSMA FDG scan. In the meantime, I've got a written report and I could do with your help. The backdrop is that I'm hoping to be considered eligible for PSMA therapy in Melbourne in May-Aug. At the heart of it lies a really simple question (and apologies for my naivety

T3 starting dose.
I appear to be a poor converter of t4 to t3. I had my first private endo appt today and have a private prescription for Liothyronine.T3. I have been given 3 months at 10mg daily. Is this a good starting dose. Just wondering whether to try 5mg daily first to see if it has the desired effect. Also going

High Thyroid Antibodies symptoms
Hi everyone, I am wondering whether having high antibodies can affect one's overall being. After a very bad experience of labyrinthitis in 2022 which led me to an ultrasound investigation when a multi nodular goitre was discovered by an endocrinologist. I was advised then that it was benign and

Low TSH
I had a phone call on Friday asking me to come to an Endo appointment this Monday - unusual! It is a year since my last appointment but I suspect my endo has taken fright at my low TSH and will want to discuss stopping my prescription. My latest results were TSH 0.02 (0.35-4.94) Ft4 11.4 (9-19.1)

What and Why? Change of Brand??
Hi All, I have just had my most recent bloods back and they are a little confusing if I am honest! I am taking 200mcg Levo and 25mcg Lio. I had to change brand in November and didn't feel any ill effects from the change over. Can a change in brand really cause that much of a hike? I have been

Heart Arrhythmia
Hello All. I've posted in the past and remember that some have said that I could increase my dose of T3 to perhaps alleviate the arrhythmia I have been experiencing for many years. I take 75 MCG LEVO (for 35+ years with varying dosages) and 5 MCG Lio each morning. Any comments at this time would be greatly

Trelegy ellipta post inhalation cough anyone?
I have been on this med for one month. I was taking Fostair Nexthaler 100 mgs but post Covid in October I was struggling to recover my lung capacity. I find that for an hour or so after my once a day inhalation I have a tickly cough. I do rinse my mouth out and gargle afterwards.

T3 in Pregnancy and breast feeding
I am trying to assist a friend late 30’s who is now about 17 weeks pregnant. She has been on a combination of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine for many years and has been well. Her drs have stopped the Liothyronine and upped her Levothyroxine, informing her Liothyronine is not licenced in pregnancy
