Normal TSH but symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Hi, looking for advice. I've been on Levothyroxine 50mg dose for 3 years. My last TSH was 2.75 so within normal range but my hair is thinning, I'm always cold, sometimes constipated and low pulse rate, sometimes as low as 50 and I'm no athlete. MyGP only tests TSH should I ask for more tests?

Over-treatment
Hi,I've been treated for hypothyroidism for about 8 years and for most of that time, taken 150mg of levothyroxine. Recently, as the fatigue had become difficult after having covid, I found my B12 levels were low, so I started treatment for that. My fatigue improved about 2 weeks later. I looked at my

Levothyroxine interfering with periods?
Hi, I have been on 50 levothyroxine for around a year as my blood readings showed subclinical hypothyroid around 5 TSH. This reduced the TSH to 1.9 without side effects but my latest reading was 4.44 and I was tired again so they upped to 75 8 weeks ago. My periods have never been irregular and I have

just wanted to see if everything is normal….
good morning, or afternoon…. I’ve only been dealing with hypothyroidism a short time, most just feeling exhausted, at the beginning had many other symptoms and of course weight is an issue. I am attaching two screenshots. One is my last TSH results, as those are the only tests my GP would do. Yesterday

Hypo book recommendations please UK
Hi, please can someone recommend a book to start to understand likely hypothyroidism? A UK publication please. I joined yesterday and am just trying to get my head around it all. I have lots of symptoms and my TSH is creeping up with TS4 and especially TS3 scratching the bottom of the normal range

Cost of a full thyroid panel v TSH alone
We often hear of patients being refused a full thyroid panel due to cost. Can anyone tell me the cost differential to the NHS as I suspect it may be minimal.

Levothyrixine no longer working?
hi everyone. Around 6 months ago I was diagnosed with Hashimotos. My Serum thyroid peroxidase antibody concentration was 173.9 ku/L and my TSH was off kilter. I was prescribed 25mg then increased to 50mg. After a few weeks I felt like a new woman. In the last month I’ve started to feel the same as pre-Levothyroxine

The thyroid gland under Notch control
An interesting snippet. Which is just as well because this is all we ordinary people can view! Do TFC1 and TFC2 get controlled by TSH exactly the same as each other? Or are the response profiles different? Or do different isoforms of TSH affect them differently? [i]

Got retested/ tested for testosterone levels
I got restested and testosterone level checked. Thought I’d share for your interest. Seems like my TSH improved a little actually, so maybe the crazy strict diet helped.

Subclinical hypothyroidism and leukemia?
Hi everyone, well barely a few months into addressing my fatigue as hypothyroidism (on the advice of a nutritionist, admittedly), I am being tested this week for leukemia.😔 I looked up a few other posts on the forum that suggest high leukocytes can be associated with hypothyroidism, is that correct?

Latest Thyroid Blood Results
I have had no comment from these recent results from my gp. Currently I am struggling to sleep, my heart is palpitating ALOT, I am feeling cold to the bone and shivery but no temperature. These are familiar symptoms but if I am understanding the results, my TSH is borderline or just under but yet

Poor GP response for years!
Hello. First time poster here Long story short I have been taking Levothyroxine for around 8 years and within this time I have had a constant battle with my GP to manage my symptoms. Unfortunately I have found that it does depend on which GP you get as to whether they will increase Levothyroxine.

New and could use some advice
I'm new and not yet diagnosed. I have a call with the GP on Friday, but to be honest I've not had the best service from my GP unless I go in well informed. I'm mainly worried about a variation in TSH in a short time. I have a family history of hypothyroidism and currently take no medication what so

Thyroid Results
Curious…aside from high in range TSH are these frees pretty euthyroid? These were taken before starting thyroid medication. Negative for both antibodies. I’m coming around to the idea that I’ve been misdiagnosed as thyroid medication makes me feel worse. Off meds my TSH can vary from 8-4 within

Levothyroxine concerns.
So I’m about to start 50mcg of Levothyroxine as a trial. I have subclinical Hashimotos. My concern is if after taking the thyroxine for 8 weeks if my TSH comes into normal range but I’m still suffering with symptoms, my GP won’t increase the dose. I asked and they confirmed this. I don’t understand

TSH level
Hi, my daughter’s TSH is 3.7 and she’s on 125mg thyroxine. Although this is the “normal” range. I think it seems high and something isn’t right. Do you agree? Many thanks
