I helped a long term sufferer today
Got chatting recently to a lady on FB who lives in my town. She happened to mention that she is hypo and been on meds for about 6yrs. Funnily enough she is registered with the same GP Surgery as me. Anyway she was complaining that she was always so tired and achy etc and I asked what dosage she was

History of continued low and fluctuating iron levels - advice?
hi folks. Just had my latest bloods back from helpful GP (he’s actually happy for me to sort my thyroid with Roseway! TSH barely exists) My iron is pretty abysmal tho .. Last time i had my transferrin saturation index done it was 40% so bang on mid way. January I think it was. It’s now dropped to19%

Should I see an endocrinologist ?and if so can anyone recommend a good one I'm ased in South wales but willing to travel.
Hi allSo I've been publishing my results for many weeks now and have had fantastic advice from this page. Following on from my private blood test which I've attached, I booked to see a Gp but I tried a different one as I've been seeing the same one for 18 months. Well I feel absolutely deflated. I've

Post-private GP update
Evening. A few people asked me to post an update following on from my visit to a private GP today. Well, it certainly wasn’t what I’d expected, which is to say I hadn’t expected much to happen other than another another blood test being needed and possibly a plan of action. What actually happened

Day 7 in HRT protocol = equivalent to what day in Natural cycle?
Hello my dear warriors, My clinic in Spain has recommended to go for a natural cycle rather than a HRT one this time. However my immune medicine is prescribed by the reproductive immunologist and to his protocol he has written : start Clexane and Prednisolone on day 7 of HRT. The nurses in his clinic

T3/T4/TSH testing after starting T3
I've added T3 about 3 months ago and this is my first test so I want to get it right.I reduced levothyroxine and added 20mcg T3 and am now on (usually) 30mcg with 125mcg. I see levo should be stopped 24hrs pre test and T3 12-25hrs pre test unless peak T3 are required which they arent at the moment. Test

Optimal vitamin levels?
Hi there I am in the slow process of titrating my levo dose up from a slow start of 25mcg per day (GP started me on 100mcg previously and I went totally loopy hyper within 2 weeks and felt like my thyroid was very inflammed, I then stopped it altogether and left it a while before daring to restart slowly

Latest Medicheck Results
I re-started Levo 7 weeks ago and these are my before/after results. I’m self medicating and also use 7.5 -10mg hydrocortisone daily. Without the HC I feel very peculiar and have in the past, stopped the thyroid meds because of it. I’ve managed to be fairly ok this time and I’d like some feedback on

TSH volatile over last 12 months 3.8-8.1. (Range 02.7-4.2). Taking the Levothyroxine (150mg) during the night to maximise effect. Doctor questioning how I am taking the dose and very perplexed why the volatility. Feeling jaded at these levels. After much searching I have just learned that no Iron

Hypothyroid - Vit & iron levels
Hello, As recommended by this brilliant group, I have had my vitamin and iron levels tested through medichecks. My results have come back all in range, thankfully, but I know that sometimes ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ isn’t optimum. Would someone be able to look at these please and let me know any thoughts

Elderly mum exhausted, overweight, unmotivated, yellow tinge skin on sides of face
Hello, I'm really struggling trying to get the GP to sort my mum out. She's nearly 88yrs old and in the last few years has put on an excessive amount of weight, she was a size 12, now she is almost a 20! She is absolutely exhausted, just says she has no energy at all and barely gets dressed each day

Ectopics - one after the other. So scared
Hi everyone. I posted on this forum a few years ago and everyone was so helpful. I wonder if anyone could offer some advice/reassurance? Quick back sorry. I had an SVT around 2.5 years ago and ended up in hospital. Had all tests and nothing wrong. Was put on 1.25mg Bisoprolol which made me horribly

Latest blood tests
Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about getting all my underactive thyroid symptoms back, joint pains, fatigue, anxiety and others. I’d had test results saying my TSH was low, but the dr was saying that it was satisfactory. I managed to speak to another dr and she ordered full blood tests. My results

Is it worth doingan econsult Monday?
The story... Back on March my GP tested my tsh (as part of cfs testing) and it was 1.88. Start of April I caught a virus and then the week after onwards my symptoms gradually were increasing and I missed a few days of work. April 19 (I think it was) I got my tsh, t3 and t4 done via Medichecks.
