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

Insulin resistant & query about blood results
Good afternoon, Please can someone advise if my bloods are acceptable. I had to nag doctor to increase my dose from 125 to 150mg and now fear although I am starting to feel better in myself that they will reduce dose down again when I see them my blood sugars are also out of range - a clinical trial

Hypothyroidism
Hello, I haven’t felt like myself for over a year, started with acid reflux, swelling of hands, feet, eyes and cheeks then itchy skin, fatigue, slow movement, low mood. GP agreed to do blood test, nothing came up except high cholesterol. GP prescribed statins for high cholesterol, antihistamine for swelling

Advice following house move to another county
Good Morning, we recently moved to another county and have been referred into central Endo/Diabetes service (Aintree Hospitals). Currently still with Lancashire service but l current locum Endo is appalling and only seems to measure against TSH levels and continues to try to reduce based on that

Mum's battle
Hi all, Mum has suffered from adrenal insufficiency over the past 15 years, as well as pernicious anemia, hypothyroidism, low WBC count and was hospitalised several times with low electrolytes. The electrolyte imbalance was caused by the cortisol acetate supplement she takes. She was numerous doctors

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

normal TSH help.
I am about to go to the doctors in an hour to speak about some blood tests I had done last week. To me the results are on the higher side.
