Subclinical hypothyroidism advice for next appointment
Hi, I was told I was I had Subclinical hypothyroidism in 2017 but was not significant so no further input. Unsure of exact results but TSH was raised, but <10 with normal T4 (but do not have a copy of the results). Past few years have noticed hair loss, muscle aches & pains, tiredness, some weight gain

Vitamins
Hi allI posted here last week my vitamin test results from medichecks. My active B12 and folate were low so as per advice on the forum I have held off supplementing until my GP tests for pernicious anaemia. My mother had PA and I certainly do have some symptoms of B12 deficiency. I'm due to get my bloods

Getting a diagnosis
My injections will mess up any b12 testing but I presume that the
intrinsic
factor
antibody
test
would still potentially deliver a result, is this so? I have seen so many doctors over the last 30 years, including many privately at great expense.

My Last (IFN) Dose, my Fateful Decision One Year Ago
This is a long and not cheerful post, I understand if you don’t wish to wade fully or at all thru it. Sections are marked for easy reference. The thoughts are my opinions only. -- I wrote a few months ago on my botched flu vax anniversary. Today is the one year mark for my Last Dose of Besremi

GP says results are fine
Fatigue, brainfog, muscle aches, joint pain, and other various symptoms. Below are my blood test results. The GP stated there is nothing of concern. He seemed more focused on mental health issues. Is there anything obvious below? Someone said to post here. Rheumatoid factor 8 Range: Below 12.5

Blood results help please
Hi I’m hypothyroid following Graves’ disease then radio iodine about 20 years ago. Was stable on 125 levo until I got Covid and have had long covid - debilitating fatigue - for a year now. I thought it was thyroid related. Following advice on this forum - thank you - I got blood tests and results

T3 Prescribers
Hi, Is there a list or something of endocrinologists who prescribe T3? My T4 is really high and T3 is low and my hair is falling out like crazy. Obviously my GP only gives levothyroxine

Iron deficiency
(I'm PV. Diagnosed 14+ years) Finally this week my consultant agrees to give me a course of iron. Does the following dose sound right/enough? 300mg ferrous gluconate once a day for a month. I'm on day 4 and don't feel any better at all. (Blood test 4 days ago: ferritin 6, Iron 3.8) Im considering

low in iron and B12
found out I’m low in iron and I’ve got pernicious anemia. From my understanding having regular B12 injections has lowered my iron and ferritin. Should I put B12 on hold and increase my iron and ferritin? But when I don’t have regular B12 I feel the side effects. I’m taking heme iron once a day.

Armour after years on T3
Hi everyone! I am self medicating because I have problem with converting levothyroxine to T3 and my doctor won't admit it. I did so first with T3 for a few years during which I used many brands like Tiromel, Uni Pharma, Thybon H. I was much better for a while but noticed that lately I don't feel that

Thyroxine half life & dose changes
I am aware of the waiting 6-8 weeks after a dose change etc before testing levels. I was wondering if anyone knows of a graph or paper that discusses the expected hormone concentration level from expected synthetic FT4 decline versus the increased thyroid hormone production after a dose decrease?

Help what happened?
My ferritin saturation has dropped since b12 injections! What do I do? I feel so ill! We now think the only reason I was low in b12 was a very very stressful year!
