Fibromyalgia or Hypothyroidism?
A friend has recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I have read a lot about that condition being diagnosed when the patient actually has hypothyroidism. Is there a way to rule out Hashi's? I know that an antibody test won't be conclusive unless they are high, because I (and many others) have

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

TSH RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES RESULTS
Hi, got this test done a week ago and the results are 1.26 IU/L (<1.75) so antibodies are not raised. I was querying Hashimotos or Graves so I assume this rules out Graves but does not confirm Hashimotos? Thanks

Oestradial HRT & the thyroid, Lenzetto blood tests
I just wondered if low oestradial affects the thyroid? I have been on HRT since March and my level is still only 197 pmol/L. I use 3 sprays of Lenzetto. I wondered if it could be affecting my thyroid function? I don’t have menopause symptoms, I had bottom of range testosterone, but this is now in range

we can finally see the wood through the tree's... My ongoing Thyroid Problem.
I had my appointment with this new endo on the 4th July. She was a happy cheapie type of person and explained my problem to the liking of a damaged car. Which I found interesting. My Thyroid is like a broken car that despite all measures wants to go 70 miles an hour all the time. So what we've done

Anaemia
I have graves disease but GP only tests TSH levels and T3. When I saw GP due to rapid heartbeat, breathlessness and muscle weakness he did full blood test and said I was anaemic. I take 5mg of carbimazole- could this medication cause anaemia? Is this common in graves? I used to have thyroid blood tests

Stopped taking propanolol effect on thyroid hormones?
Hi, I have been taking propanolol 10mg X 3 times a day for my pots. I have now stopped taking it. Would it affect my thyroid hormones? Am taking both levothyroxine and liothyronine.

Graves disease and RAI
Hi I was diagnosed with Graves disease 16 months ago. I have been on carbimazole on reducing doses and T levels were almost normal but then went up. So I am now on 15mg per day. They asked me to think about radio active iodine. I am very unsure about this. From the little I have read it can make your

Why does the thyroid produce T3?
As we all know, the thyroid produces T4 and T3. Given that the body converts T4 to T3, why does the thyroid produce T3? I once asked Prof Weetman this - he admitted he didn't know.

Endo is recommending radioactive iodine
At my last endocrinology appointment, it was strongly suggested I have radioactive iodine therapy. I'm not terribly keen, for reasons that many of you here have pointed out. I still don't know for sure that I have Graves'. The endo didn't think it mattered if it was Graves' or not, she would still recommend

I wonder if my thyroid was going wrong for decades before I became hyperthyroid?
I went hyperthyroid about 19 years ago. My explanation for it has been that it came soon after the birth of my beautiful son (amazing but stressful of course) and then the sudden death of my father a year or so later. I was just rambling on an ADHD forum (DX in 2022 now titrating) and the question occurred

Are thyroid problems hereditary?
I had a subtotal thyroidectomy in 1985 at the age of 35 to remove a multinodular goitre. The specialist thought that my previously functioningThyroid would work properly afterwards. Four months later I was totally exhausted to the point where even making a cup of tea required huge effort and I was unable
