Update on my thyroid medication 🤦‍♀️
Hi everyone ❤️ I posted some weeks ago about my appointment with an endocrinologist on Dec 27th, who just stopped my T3 prescription and put me back on T4 levothyroxin to which in her own report she stated... This lady is intolorent to both T4 and T3, therefore I recommend she goes back on T4 levothyroxin

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

Dr Alan Christianson - Iodine Controlled Diet
Hi, Does anyone follow Dr Alan Christianson on social media or read any of his material? I find his video's very very informative and enjoy his content. He seems to be a very big supporter of an iodine controlled diet, and thyroid disease can be controlled by regulating iodine intake as appose to thyroid

AFIB and Levothyroxine (thyroid) dose.
Just a question for those of you that are hypothyroid and AFIB: Is your dose of thyroid medication less because you have AFIB, currently or in the past? Appreciate your input! Thanks!

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

Timing and reasons for Thyroid blood tests
Recommended by numerous research papers that thyroid testing should be in the morning and [u]before[/u] taking daily levothyroxine TSH has a circadian rhythm and is highest in early morning and lowest in afternoon Links to a few research papers and articles https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc

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

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

Drinking & Thyroid
Just wondered if many of you with an underactive thyroid drink alcohol? Not an excessive amount but a few drinks perhaps. Of late and since being diagnosed with one I feel like my tolerance for it is terrible and one or two glasses of wine can wipe me out the next day. Is there any link? Be great to

Annual Thyroid Palaver NHS
I checked my medical record online yesterday and I've been summoned by letter for annual NHS thyroid check (yay) but they've also requested electrolytes and GFR blood tests. I dont have kidney problems and had GFR done last year which was fine so am wondering is this something they now include for

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

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

Does this sound like Hashimoto's please?
Hello, My thyroid has been under suspicion for many years but I cannot seem to get any answers. Postnatally, (four months after giving birth), some fifteen years ago, my TSH was tested and was 12.6. Nothing was done about this. ( I have only just seen this on my NHS app). Fast forward to eight years
