Will I ever feel better?
Good evening everyone, please can anyone help. After feeling unwell end of September I had bloods done my TSH was 6.7 and T4 level was 17.9 pmol( Normal range 12.0 to 22.0). After suffering with terrible symptoms for 2 months including swelling of the neck my GP finally prescribed thyroxine only 25mcg

Levothyrixine no longer working?
hi everyone. Around 6 months ago I was diagnosed with Hashimotos. My Serum thyroid peroxidase antibody concentration was 173.9 ku/L and my TSH was off kilter. I was prescribed 25mg then increased to 50mg. After a few weeks I felt like a new woman. In the last month I’ve started to feel the same as pre-Levothyroxine

Finally!
Back in July I had a response to a FOI, which I challenged. I sent out numerous emails to different NHS governing bodies. I met a brick wall. Today an email turned up out of the blue from my Health Board. It only took them five months. The complaint was that the blood testing for thyroid did not

Recently diagnosed under active thyroid - Hashimoto's, bit confusing!
So pleased to have found this forum! I had a routine blood test followed by a call from the GP asking me questions about how i was feeling. I get tired easily but put all symptoms like that down to getting older and haven't really any other symptoms. I had glandular fever age 18 and since then have

Armour thyroid
I have been on armour for several years and my endo is aware. 2 months ago I had a blood test which showed my levels were fairly low, TSH was 8 ish and t3 and t4 were low. So I increased my dose slightly whilst waiting for a further endo appointment. Within a couple of weeks I was hyper, no blood test

The thyroid gland under Notch control
An interesting snippet. Which is just as well because this is all we ordinary people can view! Do TFC1 and TFC2 get controlled by TSH exactly the same as each other? Or are the response profiles different? Or do different isoforms of TSH affect them differently? [i]

Got retested/ tested for testosterone levels
I got restested and testosterone level checked. Thought I’d share for your interest. Seems like my TSH improved a little actually, so maybe the crazy strict diet helped.

Endocrinologist has reduced Thyroid meds *again* due to suppressed TSH from T3. Argh!
Hi All, After a blood test a few months back I was asked to decrease my T3 dose so they could increase my T4 prescription. Despite a marked increase in hypothyroid symptoms in the months since the T3 drop and T4 raise, today a second endocrinologist has asked me to now drop the T4 a dose too as my TSH
