GP vs. Endocrinologist
I am under the care/supervision of an endocrinologist. I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid over 20 years ago. My GP is aware and agreed that my endocrinologist takes blood samples and “tweaks” my dose of medicines accordingly. My blood test results from the Endocrinologist on 11 July 2023

HRT MEDICATION
Hi everyone, I am on HRT Medication, which I have been on since I was 48 years old, for 8 years. I am supposed to have had a review every 3/6 months I haven't had one yet. Until I contacted my doctor last week and told her this. She couldn't believe it. I was supposed to have had my blood pressure taken

How long did it take for your HRT estrogen patch to take away your hot flashes?
I have been taking the estrogen patch for about 2 and a half weeks now-(generic Estradiol 0.075mg) and I have not gotten any relief in my hot flashes....My story is more complicated in that I am making absolutely NO estrogen due to years of anorexia making my pituitary gland not produce estrogen. So

thoughts on result update
I posted my daughters pre hysterectomy bloods in September and had some excellent advice. She has redone the blood tests and I still think the thyroid test results are strange. She has been on iron for 8 weeks. The first results are for September. And the second for

Doctor recommendation needed
Hi All, After a year of painful meetings liaising with my NHS endocrinologist, I had enough. She reluctantly prescribed T3 but did not really bother about following up or testing vitamins or overall health. My GP tries but he is clueless on thyroid related issues other than where normal TSH should be

Hashimotos, just starting Levothyroxine
Hi all, I have been feeling exhausted and not myself recently and my GP did a raft of tests to see if there were any obvious causes. I tested positive for Thyroid peroxidase antibodies and my TSH was elevated at 4.7, so they retests and it came back 6.3 They've agreed to start me on Levothyroxine

Brands of T3
Hi everyone I hope you’re all keeping well. Please could someone advise on the brands of T3. I was prescribed privately T3 in October & what an amazing difference it has made to my health. I was on Sigma Pharma 5mcg x 3 per day for two mths at a cost of £125 per mth. I then went on to Thybon Henning

Fizzing iny head
My tinnitus feels like my brain is fizzing inside. It started after taking HRT 3 years ago. I have it every day. It gets worse when I'm tired or stressed. Does anyone have anything similar?

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

secondary hypo and doctor questioning diagnosis
Hello everyone, I moved to a new GP in the last few years (house move). When I moved, my doctor just continued prescribing levothyroxine because it was on my records and although he wasn't testing T3 he did look at T4 and seemed to listen to me when I explained the levels I needed to be at, in order

Planning ahead - looking into clinics and next steps before the current one fails.
Do you plan ahead for the next step and preempt the worst? Its tricky to know what to do. I am 40 in May. Obviously I am willing this next round to be successful and for this to be the end of my IVF journey. I don’t think it will be. I do think it is unfair if I am refused another NHS round but I

Misdiagnosed for 30 years !!!
well, in my last post I told how I had lost over 4 st in 12 months and my GP said it was down to my thyroid. But I couldn’t get an Endo appointment for 4 months. So I decided to see a private Endocrinologist. what he told me shocked me to the core and now I am so confused I don’t know what to do. He

Advice needed...
After being on 125mcg Levo for 25 years it was reduced to 100mch last year as my GP said my blood results were indicating over-medicating. I asked for an Endo referral and he carried out a blood test which showed the following... TSH 7.01 T4 13 T3 3.6 He then advised my GP to increase Levo to 125mcg
