TSH over 4.5 for 10 years, nothing else but symptoms got worse
Hello! I’ve had a kind of high tsh since I was 19. I’ve tested it along with T4, the 2 antibodies, not sure if also T3, and they all were fine except my Tsh (4.5). I did it because I fainted upon waking up with low blood sugar and low blood pressure after a stressful period (I got anxiety, depression

Urology appointment - Flexible Cystoscopy
Hi all Has anyone been referred to urology for a flexi cystoscopy that turned out fine? I have been having symptoms since November and eventually the GP said it could be Endometriosis and put me on the mini pill and iron tablets (also have mild anemia). However after follow up urine test, I have been

Hashimoto's blood test and cortisol tests
I have been asked by my GP Surgery to provide them with the list of blood tests I believe are correct for a patient with Hashimoto's. I don't seem to be able to find it. Would someone be kind enough to show me where I may find it please? Is it the same as under active blood test or are there 'extras'

Info, please , about what genetic/genomic data can now be gathered from a peripheral blood test
Hi my MPN friends I have PMF, and I understand that the genetic/genomic data. (Not entirely sure what the difference is ) (mutations, etc. ) about my condition can now be assessed from a peripheral blood sample. I’ve had BMBs in the past, and I’m aware that you can’t compare results from a BMB with

GP appointment went well!
So I had a follow up appointment about my latest blood results… vitamin D was at 174 and ferritin at 43.5 ug/L (20.0 - 130.0) My GP was not concerned about my vitamin D level and said resume at whatever I am taking as it’s not a toxic level 🤷🏻♀️ The ferritin level however he agreed is in range but

Anyone been prescribed T3 by endo in Leeds? I need to advise my son's partner. Please send a pm (chat) to me.
Good morning, can I pick your brains? My son's partner has Hashimoto's and still has symptoms despite normal blood test results and I'm urging her to request a referral to an endocrinologist for a trial of T3. She is new to hypothyroidism and her fT4 and fT3 results indicate she is a poor converter,

T4/T3 struggle
I’m writing this because I can’t seem to lose weight since I was diagnosed/put on medication 2 years ago. I was at least 15kg less before medication. I keep gaining despite eating clean. I am on 75mcg levo and about 3mcg of Cytomel. (I weigh 88kg) I gained most of the weight since I started Cytomel

Introduced T3, feeling exhausted & gaining weight
Hello there, I've been introducing T3 slowly since Feb 24 - started 5mcg for 6 weeks then up to 7.5mcg and now 10 mcg per day. Also taking levo - started at 137.5mcg, then when I introduced T3 (and T4 went down), endo increased levo to 150, and then 6 weeks later T4 still too low, increased levo to

Thoughts on T3 dosing please.
I take T4, alternating days with 100 and 125ug. Also T3 15ug each day. All in one go at 5am (I set an alarm). I know you guys have said consistency is key with T3, because it has a short half life. However quartering the tablets to get 15ug (3/4 of a tablet) is awkward. So I was thinking, cogitating

Blood test interpretation
Hallo everyone, I requested a blood test to cover a number of things - not sure this one covers everything or maybe there's more to come. I wonder if anyone might be willing or have the time to help with interpretation. ESR looks OK - I requested CRP as well but doesn't appear to be there unless I

Bloating and thyroxine hormone absorption
Would bloating of the digestive system after some liquid medication I have been given for an infection affect the T4 tablet absorbtion? I am also avoiding lactose and have noticed an improvement in the absorption but I have not managed gluten at the moment due to trying to recover. I know T4 is absorbed

Since my menopause I feel like my T3 is needing upped. Any advice on my recent blood tests?
My t.s.h was sitting at about 7.9 and I'm not feeling at my optimal. Usually my T.s.h is in between 2.5 -4.5 ish. Since menopause and getting older I feel I definitely need an upped dose! Any advice from those with t3 experience. My T4 is low at 4ish and my t3 is high because of my treatment at 8ish

Which medicine is messing with my thyroid med uptake
Might anyone be able to suggest which of my other meds has affected my thyroid med uptake (100mcg thyroxine and 2x5mcg t3)? I was prescribed digoxin, furosemide and bisoprolol after having open heart surgery 3 mths ago to resolve some anatomical defects. Uptil that point thyroid levels were stable

Curious about PBC symptoms and LFTs at Diagnosis
Hello Everyone, I am new to the group and I was recently diagnosed with PBC and I was wondering if anyone could share what symptoms they might have been experiencing when they first were diagnosed with PBC. I know from doing some research, that "intense" itching is mentioned as well as elevated LFTs
