Results - don't know what to make of them
I can see Vit D is way too low despite my daily tablet! I've just bought Thorne 25mcg plus K2 200mcg drops so hopefully they are better. I will take them twice a day for the next few weeks then once a day. My Anti thyroid peroxidase antibodies are obviously through the roof but I guess that is because

Advice about plan of treatment
I am 67, was diagnosed with PMR 2 weeks ago after 4 weeks of symptoms (stiffness and pain in neck, arms, shoulders, couldn't raise arms above shoulders, immense tiredness etc). Initial GP contact was excellent - he identified the problem, blood tests same day, consult 2 days later to confirm diagnosis

Worried about GP decreasing levo dose (low TSH, high FT3)
Hi Everyone Hoping for some advice before I speak to my GP following recent bloods. Background is in bio but in a nutshell – Hashis/Hypothyroid diagnosis (as well as Coeliac diagnosis) in April/May 2022 after 2 years of symptoms. Slowly been increasing my levo dosage since then. My last dosage uplift

I have osteoporosis and I took Fosamax for a while and then lost 6 teeth! I stopped taking it a while ago, but my back is giving me grief now. I am taking calcium and Vitamin D, but I need to find out whether there are any alternatives to alendronic acid.

Getting GP on board
Slightly frustrating GP appointment. Recent NHS bloods showed TSH only just within the lab range (4.24) but higher than a few years ago, T4 at 11.9 but within range. I sent my Medichecks results through beforehand showing a TSH of 6.1 and antibodies >200. She didn't exactly dismiss them but queried

New to the group
I have been taking prednisolone for PMR for nearly 4 weeks and have my first review this week - I'm feeling fab since starting on pred - not taking any supplements yet - should I be asking about calcium and vitamin D at my review appointment?

Potential underactive thyroid
hi, I’ve had to go private for fertility investigations after loss and have had some more intensive thyroid testing done after the NHS advised no concerns. I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance based on my results as I’m quite lost with what to do/where to go next. TSH levels Oct 2019:

Test results
Morning, I got my test results from a private test. Can anyone advise if I need a levo increase? I generally feel well apart from hair loss which I've now read can be because my vitamin D is low. My ferritin has decreased after initially rising. No idea why as I'm eating pretty well.
