Blood test results and feeling "off"
I did my quarterly thyroid test last week, having brought it forward a bit due to feeling "off" - feeling very tired and lethargic, no libido, muscle weakness...this is despite stable thyroid levels that most would say look very good. Also had a lot of back and neck pain, which has been treated by an

Annual Medication Review
I would be very grateful if any of you lovely people can give me some advice. I have received a text from my GP surgery to book my annual medication review appointment, I can stretch this out for about 5/6 weeks if I need to. I was started on 50 mcg of Levothyroxine in December 2022 and had it increased

Blood tests & upcoming endo appt advice
I had to cancel and rebook my endo blood test last minute as they messed me around with my endo appointment- so my latest blood test wasn't done pre 9am with 24hours from last dose. I had no choice but to go with the blood test offered at 11am unless I moved my endo appointment. I had taken my thyroxine

Has anyone experienced INR fluctuations while holidaying in the Mediterranean?
I am in Greece, different climate, different food, swimming etc. I will have my INR checked on Monday and wondering how much it will be different. Apart from food and drink, I read somewhere that vitamin D can influence INR. What has been your experiences?

Oh dear 😤
I’ve spent an annoying few weeks feeling dizzy, falling over, being sick and slurring my speech, feeling confused. No fuel in tank at all. BP spiking inexplicably. Still trying to get this sorted out at Primary Care Level as waiting list in secondary care in NW England is longer than my life expectancy

HbA1c has gone down!!!!
Saw the diabetes nurse yesterday, my HbA1c is 63, down from 88 (not sure when it was 88, but who cares!) I've been on Ozempic for about a year, but couldn't get any for several months due to the shortages. I'm back on it the last 3 months and have gradually increased to the 1mg dose (which it was I

Does sore throat come with hypothyroidism and Hashi?
Hi All, I've had hypo for over 2 decades and manage it with thyroxine, diet, supplements and lifestyle. Never had any long-term sore throat issues, however it all started this February, when I went through a lot of stress, my thyroid went out of balance and I was struggling with increasing my meds

Feeling woefully undermedicated……
Hi everyone, A friendly nurse practitioner agreed to run some blood tests for me this week. I remain undiagnosed. I’ve been using Metavive since January and have been trying to switch over to Thyroid S for a couple of months. I’m finding it very difficult to increase my dose (unpleasant side effects

Finally being treated for Hypothyroidism.
Thanks to the advice of the amazing people in this community, I have finally been diagnosed. I went for more blood tests on Tuesday, taking the advice of the community, I fasted and the test was done at 9:10am. I got a phone call from my GP this morning and they said my TSH and antibodies were high

1st appointment after finding out you are pregnant
I found out that I am pregnant just a week ago and based on the NHS calculator, I am 6 weeks today. I have referred myself to Northwick Park Maternity but have no idea when I will get my first appointment. This is my first pregnancy so I have a few concerns: 1. Should I be taking specific vitamins
