blood test interpretation
hi I’m new here, I’ve just had a blood test that says my TSH is normal range (1) but my free thyroxine is low (9). I have so many symptons. Have been exhausted for years and been diagnosed with pmdd, depression, premenopausal etc but I’m wondering if this is what’s going on. I’m also low iron and vit

Quick update on bloods - happy with analysis but posting for interest/comparison - also CRP info?
I did manage to get the bloods done and thought it worth a quick before and after. I'm mostly happy now with how to analyse but don't know if anyone is interested in efficacy of different approaches. I've mostly followed advice I was given here, except that I could no longer get Thorn basic b's so

Underactive thyroid - follow-up
Hi all, I posted the below message recently and got some good feedback. I have now started on one Liposomal B complex tablet per day. I haven't been taking any vitamin K2 recently but previously took Vitabay. Is this a good vitamin brand for K2 or are there better brands out there ? I typically take

Abnormally high thyroid levels
Hi all, I 'd like some advice with these abnormally high test results. For the first time ever, my free T4 is out of range- too high-, and so is my Vit D. My TSH is also low, but I've had that before. I have Hashimotos and am on Levothyroxine 200mcg. My GP wants to reduce my Levo to alternating days

Still struggling ...
Hi All. I am asking or help and advice again. I have been titrating Levo dose up since last September having figured out I have central hypothyroidism, and managed to explain this to my endo. I started on 25mcg and worked my way up. Endo says to ignore TSH and target FT4 to the top of the range. My results

anti d late…
My midwife is anything but dynamic and hasn’t bothered to book my anti d injection despite knowing it was coming up to being due… she even mentioned it at the last appointment. Anyway, transpires she hasn’t booked and now the hospital are saying they have no appointments for at least another fortnight

How frequently do you test... and what?
'Evening hypothyroidic friends, In my previous (and first) post I shared how there was no consistency from one review to another, in terms of which blood tests were repeated. Today I had my "repeat" thyroid "tests" (quoting words used by the GP at the time), and having heard your experiences, I was not

Blood Tests for Children
Hi all Finally managed to get blood tests for my children but annoyingly, my daughter was not tested for all cofactors - just B12. Son is being tested tomorrow and I want to give him a list to give to the nurse, but I can’t remember all the cofactors. Not one off my best days today! B12 Vitamin

The Use of Low Dose Estradiol to Ameliorate the Effects of ADT on Bone Mass Density
