Thyroid research project
I wrote to complain about the thyroid research being carried out in Newcastle and there have been a little flurry of emails with me getting nowhere. Here is what has been written. The article he refers to can be found in THYROID Volume 31, Number 5, 2021 Clinical Outcomes After Discontinuation of Thyroid

Small dose of levothyroxine - good or bad?
I had thyroiditis many years ago. Since then, my dose of levothyroxine (and for a while NDT) has varied. However, it has never been a high dose (I don't have any record of it going over 100mcg/day), it has been as low as 25mcg/day, but settled at just 37.5mcg/day (driven by me, based on combination of

Pregnancy & liothyronine
Hi guys. I need some advice urgently. I've just found out I'm pregnant, so only 4-5 weeks, but I've been doing a liothyronine trial of 2 x 10mcg daily plus 75mcg levothyroxine for the last 8-10 weeks (previously I was on 125mcg levothyroxine). I've rung the hospital to inform the endocrinologist, but

Many Nodules on your thyroid? under/over?
Hi there, Sorry for the posts but my endo is basically no help at all!!! This is only place I can get any answers. I am still waiting on a result for my dominate nodule biopsy . which was 1.9in size . In the meantime, I'm just wondering as they said I had quite a few nodules on my thyroid

changing from Armour to levo
Hi all I take armour thyroid and have done for over 10 yrs now. I was originally prescribed this by a private doctor but further down the rd I found a way to buy Armour myself so I self medicate. I test my levels regularly (probably every 4-6 months) and I’ve felt in a good place for years. That’s

Back to square one
My Dr checked my thyroid levels with some other blood tests without me knowing, so I had taken my T4 (50mcg) about an hour before! Based on the results, she said I was now fine and took me off the medication. I tried to argue saying it needed to be before my meds and she said that was wrong. I had always

Help with results undetectable tsh
hi I posted the other week about having a tsh of 0.008 a few weeks ago but it was an at home test. I’ve had them repeated through the doctors and these were the results: Tsh 0.001 (0.49-5.2) Free t4 11.4 (11.5-22.7) Free t3 5.6 (3.5-6.5) It doesn’t make sense to be hyper while my t4 is low. I’ve

TSH high level before transfer :(
Hi everyone, I have just discovered this group and decided to join as I need help to understand how thyroid levels work for IVF. I am on my two week wait after a frozen transfer (11 March) in Spain and asked for the clinic to test progesterone and thyroid levels two days before transfer (09 March)

Adrenal/Cortisol issues- help please
So it's recently been bought to my attention that my struggles to tolerate any t4 t3 medication could be down to low cortisol or adrenal issues, is this common? I'm starting to question if adrenal issues are actually my main problem? I was diagnosed 'subclinical hypo' last year and have been on varying
