New diagnosis - what to expect/demand from GP
I had my second child in August 2022 and to be honest I've not felt right since. Since going back to work in June last year I've been permanently exhausted but it's just got worse and worse. Totally mental fog, can't focus, constantly yawning my head off. My body aches constantly but all the while I

Having trouble getting my prescription
Please can someone advise if they have had similar experience. I put in my usual request at my GP for my thyroxine. I then received a txt message saying rejected on account of being too early and that I was overdue on blood tests. I had never been asked to have a blood test, if so I would have happily

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

helvela Re don’t stop thyroxine b4 blood tests
Taking the thyroxine on the morning of the test, would only confuse the inexperienced. It will change your T4 levels slightly, and not influence your TSH. It won't impact my interpretation of your results. It is not worth worrying about. The vast majority of doctors are experienced enough to understand

LOW TSH WITH STABLE T4
Hello, can anyone tell me whether it matters when your TSH is low? Mine is 0.04 mU/L and T4 is 16.7 pmol/L? My thyroxine has been reduced from 100mg to 87.5 mg and the TSH has increased from 0.03 mU/L to 0.04 mU/L in 6 weeks. I had a bone scan done on the advice of a private doctor and this came

Thoughts please!
I am still struggling terribly to tolerate any doseage of levo or lio - combo or mono. It makes me feel even worse/is completely debilitating. I have tried changing when I take the doses, the brand etc you name it and still no better. It’s notable that my blood pressure gets too low on it too. Am I

Carbimazole and cramps update
Hi Everyone, I have been on a roller coaster since my last post, hence my relative silence. My mother was seriously ill, I was asked to sign a DNR, then my mother recovered, now I am able to focus on my own issues. Since my last post about my severe cramps, they seem to have subsided since introducing

thyroid issues and a fibs???
Does anyone on this site know if there is a link between a fibs and a high TSH blood test? I have been hypothyroid most of my life and have to take synthroid, due to a partial thyroidectomy in my twenties. I am now 69 and have recently developed a fibs. I also might have apnea; am getting a sleep

test results on 2 and 3/4 Thyrogold
This is my latest blood test which is good and bad. Happy that my vitamin levels apart from D are good (no supplements for 6 weeks prior) but my levels for T3 and TSH are bad the worst I’ve had since taking NDT. Yes it was done in the afternoon (15.40) but I was of the opinion that it needs to be 8-12

In shock, TSH from 20.3 to 0.103!
hello, I posted a while ago as I was getting so concerned at the rate my TSH was increasing, I had increased my levothyroxine gradually to 175mg with no improvement, the last bloods and drs appointment I had I was given instructions to increase to 200mg which I believe is the limit for my weight. by

hypothyroid
Hi all, New here and need some advice So, I first went on levothyroxine (50mg) back in April after running the London marathon. Fast forward 6 weeks to my initial blood test to see if the TSH had resolved itself, it was 0.3. Since then I’ve been feeling ridiculously fatigued and so unwell. So I

Update on Hyperthyroid depression
I have seen an endocrinologist who started me on carbimazole on May 22nd for hyperthyroidism, my levels at that time were TSH, T3 5.3 (3.1-6.8), I am wondering if the levels are dropping too quickly as I feel so depressed but anxious at the same time, very cold feeling inside, bad brain fog, my doctor

Finally treatment!! Central hypothyroidism recognition
Finally, after all these years of missed opportunities to diagnose thyroid dysfunction I have been prescribed Levothyroxine for the first time. I walked away from the GP appointment with a sense of disbelief. It's been a battle (as it surely has for many others on this forum). My GP has prescribed despite

Help, need your help
My TSH is .37 so I am low. Do I need to take a higher dose of Synthroid or a lower dose of Synthroid. I can’t remember how that works. My T3 and T4 are within normal ranges.
