Original blood results
Good morning, I finally have the blood results that caused the doc to refer me to endocrinology and prescribe Carbimazole and Propranolol. There is a lot on this form. Please can you tell me what is relevant to diagnose thyroid issues and possibly Graves disease? I am happy to share any results but

Graves Disease and muscle weakness
Hi, it’s my first time posting here and I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to me or is able to offer me any advice based on their knowledge and own experience. I am a 40 year old mum of two children under 10 and first noticed that something was wrong early last year when I started

Annual NHS Blood Test
Hi, I’ve just had my annual thyroid blood test and I am absolutely speechless…… When I checked my results it showed that the NHS test only checked my TSH, the NHS didn't even check my T4 as the standard annual check. We have no chance of them completing a full thyroid blood test. Luckily for me

I know that for many of us, the thyroid has caused issues during the trying to conceive journey. There is currently a live petition calling for increased funding for thyroid research. The funds would come from a big fine that has been given to 3 companies that produce thyroid medications. Here is the

Feeling flat
Hi everyone, just feeling so flat and low. Like a functioning shell, if that makes sense? I’m menopausal too (post) so probably isn’t helping. Only diagnosed with Hashimotos recently but have been struggling with symptoms for years. I assumed it was the menopause so took HRT but as my poor thyroid couldn

Tongue / Graves disease
Can the thyroid affect the tongue? I was borderline again last time and have a blood test end of Feb due to be discharged if ok but I think as I keep being borderline they're not sure what to do with me. As to whether my body is naturally on borderline as I don't really get many of the symptoms Mild

statins & underactive thyroid
I had a cholesterol reading of 6.9 and was told this is too high. The nurse asked how I felt about going on statins although she said I am low risk due to my lifestyle & diet. I’m not keen on going on statins because I heard that they are not good to take if you have an underactive thyroid. Also was

Advice regarding Thyroid levels
Hi Could do with some advice regarding my thyroid test levels. I have Hashimoto's but am not taking thyroid medication due to my TSH levels not being high enough yet. I was diagnosed just over 2 years ago after my health had declined for several years. My GP did however agree to a 25mcg Levothyroxine

This is the response from Endocrinologist'. I don’t feel great. I have low energy levels compared to normal, I’m so tired , always cold or temperature sensitive. Reading this response, it doesn’t sound that they plan to offer to medicate me. But the thought of feeling like this indefinitely fills

New paper linking mineral uptake and autoimmune thyroiditis.
This excellent paper (available) relates the value of minerals (well known to TUK) on thyroid function. No surprises but a handy lever to convince doctors of minerals' importance in AIT therapy. There are several papers in this research topic, and this can lead onto their access.

Advice please
Hello, hypothyroid here, currently taking 225mg levothyroxine daily. Visited the Dr (NHS) last week for a few ongoing issues, including a lump in my neck (just right of neck centre) and was seen primarily by a student Dr who’s findings were then discussed/assessed with GP. Very convinced it’s a goitre
