low levels of T4 & T3 on 3 grains of NDT
Dear all, Again I need some help with my blood tests interpretation and further steps. I’m currently on 3 grains of thyroid-s and my results are as shown on the table below. Both FT3 & FT4 levels are not satisfactory. Could this be because of the low levels of ferritin, D3 and B12? Or do I need to

Graves, low TSH low hormones

Then I started having these horrible awakenings (adrenaline surges), fatigue, tachycardya… it got better with

Do you think I need an increase in my T4 dose???
Hi all, I have hashimoto and hypo since many years. I take T4 medication ( 100 mg) every morning. The brand name is Euthyrox ( the version which has mannitol and citric acid instead of lactose). This is my thyroid test results after 14 months of no tests at all due to lack of medical insurance. I was

Symptomatic but within range
Hoping someone more experienced can help advise on next steps... I've been feeling very tired since Nov/Dec, with brain fog, dizziness and palpitations for the last month. All the older members of my family are diagnosed hypothyroid. I had a basic blood test (annoyingly I didn't realise the guidance

How much reduction in dose to lower TSH to please the specialist???
In July I saw an endocrinologist who found my TSH of 0.025 alarming. He wanted to lower the dose because "Low TSH can cause heart complications." (Eye roll) As many of you pointed out, it's not the TSH that's the problem. Is there sufficient, but not excessive, thyroid hormone to support cellular energy

Low 9am cortisol?
Hi all I wondered if anyone may have some advice regarding 9am cortisol please. My 9am blood cortisol has been tested a few times now and the last three tests have been 142nmol/L | 172nmol/L | 192nmol/L (I suspect the most recent one is higher due to having an extremely stressful time before it)

mature eggs vs collected
hi, I had my third egg collection today. I’m not sure what I expected. I’m 37 with AMH of 6.5 and follicle count of 11. The consultant mentioned he hoped for 10 or 11 eggs when discussing as we were considering banking. Anyway a lot of tears later (maybe the anaesthetic) but we were updated 12 hours

Sudden change to low thyroid levels without dose change - confused!
Hello, my husband has been on T4/T3 combo for about a year and although he’s probably not completely optimised, he had some good weeks and some bad weeks. Sadly though, he has had some consistently bad weeks lately and currently feels incredibly depressed (I am very worried). He checked his thyroid levels

prostrap injections
Hi All, thank you for the add- I am new here. I have ademomyosis, fibroids and also possibly endometriosis. I am listed for a total hysterectomy but start (thursday!) prostrap injections to see how I would cope with no ovaries (with add back HRT) and to check the effect on my terrible ovulation symptoms

The TSH and diogenes
I just found this, written by diogenes some time ago, that I saved:
The following papers from the Japanese shows that, in people with no working thyroid, "normal" healthy-type conditions on T4 therapy only occur if TSH is between 0.03-0.5.
Above this, hypo symptoms are still present. You

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.
