IM IN A STATE OF CONFUSION! I desperately need help to understand and actions to take following recent blood results.
My GP reduced my levo thyroxine from 100mcg to 75mcg, at beginning of March, as my TSH was 0.13 (0.27-4.2)..... T4 was21.1 (12-22) T3 was 4.9 (3.1-6.8) Of course he thinks that TSH is the most important reading , 😡 and I hadn’t the energy to dispute it . Was supposed to be retested in 6 weeks but

Saved by Methadone
After years on Pramipexole 0.75 mg long acting , the inevitable augmentation occurred and I got off it with great difficulty. Since that time, August 2019, I have had very little sleep.

Back pain - anyone got anything similar?
Ok, so here’s the story... 23rd June - woke up with pain in my left SI joint. Could literally pinpoint it to that spot. I’ve had a sore back before, but it was just muscle pain from overuse and was never over the SI joint. Standing and walking were both painful, and the pain disappeared when I sat or

tinnitus and hypothyroidism
Has anybody gotten tinnitus after RAI? Over the years, mine started mildly, disappeared, returned and now it's very loud. I've recently upped my dose of Tirosint from 75 to 88 mcg, thanks to great advice I got here. Is that a cause and it will pass? Could it be due to a vitamin deficiency? Anxiously

I’m 42 and I feel awful, fatigue, weight gain, moods, lack of interest, brain fog... joints aches, neck pain- few to mention. I’m sick of feeling like

Should I reduce Levo for a few days?
I had
iodine
treatment 2 years ago. GP practice not offering thyroid checks during Covid 19. For a number of weeks I have been sweating profusely and my scalp and skin has excessive lesions/dryness.

Stage 5 Endo at age 27.
I've had stage 5 endometriosis for 5 years now, I first got diagnosed after 3 years of constant visits to the doctor who would just send me off with even more painkillers to try until 2017 when they sent me for my first laproscopy. It was successful for the first 5 months until I went for a check up

I am still waiting for my rheumy to come forward with her conclusion regarding my diagnosis,and her action plan.
