Advice for blood test results
Hi all, I would really appreciate some help with my latest blood test results. I have gradually reduced my meds over time, from 150/125 mcg Levothyroxine and 20 mcg liothyronine, to 75 mcg Levothyroxine and 10 mcg liothyronine. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s back in 2013, but my TPO has been within

Advice Please 🙏🏻
Hi all, Could anyone please give me some advice on my latest bloods please? The last time I posed on here the advice was to up my dose from 100mcg to 125mcg. Do I need to go up a bit now again? since my last post I have been diagnosed with Polymyalgia rheumatica and have been on 20g of steroids.

Haematologist’s unsupportive B12 response
In a recent pathology test, my gastroenterologist was concerned with my low haemoglobin count and a high reticulocyte count. She mentioned that although I’m low in ferritin (40) I’m not yet needing an iron infusion just yet. My white cell count was seemingly low also and she suggested that I should get

Impact of levothyroxine on thyroid direct production of T3
My understanding is the thyroid produces both T4 and T3 although the majority of our T3 comes from conversion of T4 to T3. If we are taking thyroxine only (T4), which is lowering TSH, would it effectively cause a decrease in the amount of T3 being produced directly by the thyroid gland in the scenario

Help to keep T3 at correct level
Hello, I need some help please. I have recently had a couple of bouts of Atrial Fibrillation, May and July. My GP registrar wrote to the endocrinology team to ask for advise because my TSH was 0.02. The endo (who I have never met) has written back and said to halve my dose of T3 from 20mcg to 10mcg

ferritin level and symptom question
I first posted a few months ago and based upon replies there were mixed feelings on whether my symptoms were truly RLS. Main complaints were a current/restless sensation in my legs and some twitching, more at night but also in the daytime if I was sitting for long. The symptom that was not fitting

Neuroendocrine cancer % in APC patients is not rare, it’s becoming common.
How do we help men, on this site, to reduce their chances of getting NEPC? I did a PSMA PET scan today. My blood tests looked pretty normal with psa at .5 and other tested looking like they usually do, except for blood glucose, which is normally in the 93-99 range for the past five years, but was 76

b12 keeps dropping ferritin
Hi Friends, Has anyone had success raising and maintaining ferritin after it dropped from b12 injections? I first caught the iron issue in October, after shots all last summer. I tried many supplements until landing on the least bad offender to my stomach. I got my ferritin to 33, but it dropped
