Time to heal
It is now 9 months since I started LT4 being titrated up and last weeks blood test show I have finally hit optimal levels. My GP has agreed to test again in 3 months to check I remain stable (on 125mcg.) Now, I am sure that because of various symptoms etc; my thyroid had struggled for at least 20 years

Advice on latest blood tests
Hi all, Hoping to get some advice on bloods following my latest tests. Just wondered if it's worth increasing the T4 as it's a bit lower since putting on a little bit of weight. I'm happy with my Vit D, B12, Folate and Iron and hence have not included those results. Thanks in advance

Levo Dosage Help
Dear all, Please can I seek your advice on Levothyroxine dosage? I realise now that I haven’t really helped myself with the approach that I have taken to my medication dosage changes, but I’m new to this and am learning! Following diagnosis of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, I was advised by my GP to

Advice on Vitamin D, K2 and Folate
Hi Everyone I have recently had a range of blood tests done, unfortunately I don’t seem to have any results for thyroid which they were supposed to do. My GP has asked me to make an appointment to speak to her, so I’ll ask why I haven’t got any results for thyroid and whether the test was done.

Next steps advice, B12D
After completing all relevant blood tests (everything fine apart from low iron and 165 ng/L) I have completed my 6 loading doses 2 weeks ago and generally do feel some improvements, especially on the faster heart rate, that has subsided significantly. Since 2003 this has been my 3rd loading dose program

Blood test protocol for Thyroid levels
Hi, just need some advice on doing Thyroid blood tests in the evening. I have seen the protocol for doing it in the morning before 9am and on an empty stomach etc. What about if your taking your T4 medication before bedtime at 11pm after eating your last meal 4 hours before. Do you take your blood

Understanding blood test results
I was diagnosed with CLL a year ago and am o watch and wait. My blood test results are apparently still good but I’d like to know how they compare to normal ones. Thank you.

Newly Diagnosed with High Cholesterol
I’m an otherwise healthy 53 year old who had a PSA blood test, and while that was thankfully clear, I was told I had high cholesterol (above 7.5). I’ve been put on a statin and have started a healthy eating and increased exercise regime. I consider my diet was pretty healthy anyway but have cut out red

Dr agrees to test B12 but not blood test...
Hi All, on going (20 years) of discussion with GP about exhaustion. He agreed to injections for a while but that stopped during Covid. I've injected myself for a bit. Now he has agreed to do further test (as blood comes back a huge number because I am injecting!). I think the test may be homocysteine

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

V&D after feeding sheep at petting farm - worried about baby.
I have been complete idiot. I went to the petting farm with our toddler yesterday and fed the sheep out of my hand. I washed them well afterwards but have woken up today and have bad sickness and diarrhoea. I’m hoping it’s just a coincidence but the midwife said I have to go in when I’m well and have

My CLL has Transformed
Finally had a pet scan on May 28 which showed extensive transformed disease above and below the diaphram with extensive head and neck disease, a pelvic mass and spleenomegaly. I am going for a biopsy next week to confirm diagnosis. If RT confirmed, then I will be admitted to Upenn for 5 days of intensive
