Reading matter re establishment's attitude to hypothyroid treatment
A friend has a young animal who was born hypothyroid. Said animal has been put on thyroxin and is doing well. Having had the experience of doing well on thyroxin initially and then going slowly downhill until I began treating myself with T3, I thought I would mention it in case needed in the coming years

moving to the UK
Hello all! My family and I are moving to the UK, and I wanted to get a sense of what I can expect for my hypothyroid treatment. I am currently taking both T4 (Liothyronine) and NP Thyroid (a type of porcine thyroid). Both doses are somewhat low as my thyroid is still about to manage some production

T3 update
Thanks to everyone for responding to my first post about starting T3. After feeling awful on 5mg twice a day with 100 levo I decided to up it to 10mg twice a day. My mood lifted, headache went away and I have more energy and motivation. However, I seem to be having problems getting to sleep as if I'm

Complex Ovarian Cyst, Positive Pregnancy Test.
My partner and I (both 31) had been trying to conceive for 13 months with no luck. Went to GP a couple of months ago to start investigations into fertility. I had an ultrasound which showed a 6cm complex cyst on my ovary. They have referred me to gynaecology urgently.I did a pregnancy test yesterday

For anybody still Idiopathic
In 2023, the gene that causes a type of late-onset spinocerebellar ataxia called SCA27B was discovered. Since then, researchers have been developing a genetic test for the condition, which they plan to make available in the UK. If you are interested in finding out more about the genetic test for SCA27B

New and desperately seeking advice and support
Hello, This is my first post, I’m hoping to get some support, advice and knowledge to help me understand what is going on in my body. Please bear with me as I give some background - I have been seen for the past couple of years by endocrinologists after a pituitary macroadenoma was incidentally found

Always ask your GP first for a particular test i.e. T3 or thyroid antibodies. If they can't do it, private testing via Thyroid UK is available from various testing companies that we work with. Thyroid UK has arranged discounts with some of them. For more information: https://thyroiduk.org/testing/private-thyroid-tests-in-the-uk

Neupro patch - how do I get off it?
I was put on the 3mg patch in June and only get relief with an addition of 30mg codeine. I then have no symptoms and sleep all night. I have a sleep clinic appointment next week. My ferritin is low. I know I should ask for an iron infusion. What else should I be asking?

PBC and Cholesterol
My total cholesterol level has shot up to 6.39. My internist wants me on a statin (Atorvastatin) with it's many negative side effects. I've been researching other cholesterol lowering medication options and many sites (including the Mayo Clinic) list bile acid sequestrants - including Cholestyramine
