Thyroid scan advice and recommendations please
Good Afternoon everyone 😊 Thyroid UK recommends London Private Ultrasound Clinic. Please could anyone who has used them private message me with your experiences, good or bad, or anything I should be aware of beforehand? I'm thinking of having a scan with them as I will be in London for another reason

The results are in, over to the judges.
I am a 59 year old, 74Kg male, with no other comorbidities except mild lifelong well controlled Asthma. The tests on 10/01/2024 where all taken using the guidance given here, of no levy for 24 hours prior and no food/drink ETC before the test. The previous tests may not have been in full compliance

Asymmetrical Transport of Thyroxine Across Human Term Placenta
This new study https://pure.eur.nl/en/publications/asymmetrical-transport-of-thyroxine-across-human-term-placenta is behind a paywall. I have a copy, it’s not easy to follow but essentially says little T4 crosses the full term placenta from mother to baby but T4 rapidly crosses from baby to mother.

Results. Advice please.
Hello, I have my recent blood test results as follows: FT4 <1.3pmoL/L 10.8 -25.5 TSH 0.09mIU/L 0.27-4.2 FT3 5.2pmol/L 3.1-6.8 I am still really hypo. Could this just be down to low vitamins and minerals.

Three Arrows iron repair price hike! Possible alternatives?
Hello to those afflicted by low ferritin. I was about to re-order Three Arrows iron repair simply heme from the States and, to my horror, the price for 3 bottles has increased from $66 in April to $85 today!! Both prior to P&P. Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative? Thanks 🙏

Help with T3
I would really appreciate some advice please. I have included my original post below. So last week I went to see another Endocrinologist, they confirmed what I was told by the first Endocrinologist who I saw earlier that week - basically as my TSH levels are within range, I did not need an increase
