medichecks results different from GP
I did a home test back in. March in order to get some information other than the GP test who wanted to reduce my Levo and put me on Statins. I take 100mcg daily and feel well on this dosage, when I was on 75mcg, I felt lethargic and not myself. The new results are CRP HS. 1.510 mg/L. (Range < 3

Belated COVID
Three years free but got unlucky last month with horrible covid. Husband also. I hadn’t had latest booster, he did. Same outcome. I’m feeling back to square one (almost). Any hints about picking up post virus please? Im supplementing igennus B and 3,000 D plus K2 spray. Is it worth testing in a few

GP "has concerns about results"
Had a call this afternoon from GP surgery telling me “doctor has some concerns about your blood results and needs to see you”. First thing is panic mode then I realise that I've seen most of them with the exception of thyroid function.My TSH has come back at 0.09 (0.49-5.23) but T4 is only at 18.5 (11.5

When to take Levothyroxine prior to bloods?
morning all - I’d really appreciate some advice please. My blood tests are at 2.40pm one day next week and I usually take my tablets about 3-4am. (2.40pm was Earliest appointment I could get). When would it be best to take it prior to testing? It seems maybe too long to miss it until after the bloods

Is anyone on here taking Thybon?
Yesterday I received my first pack of Thybon, so I started this morning with 5mcg taken with my Levo and I am to take the next dose mid afternoon, as instructed by the endocrinologist. If anyone is already taking it, my question is, even though he stated mid afternoon, how many hours between doses do

Caffeine
I’m on 87.5mcg levo for now (have been prescribed 100mcg, but am increasing slowly) and I plan to test again in another couple of weeks with MMH to see how my levels are doing. Over the past two weeks I’ve felt really well and have been out and about more - walking, shopping, out for coffee (only ever

Hair loss - Levothyroxine!!
Hi All, Thanks in advance for any reassurance, but since starting on Levothyroxine I’m really noticing that my hair is falling out much more than usual. Whilst I appreciate this can be a side effect it’s quite unsettling…. I was put on a starting dose of Levothyroxine at 50cmg with a TSH level of 48

Levothyroxine
Hi everyone, Could anyone direct me to a reputable source to purchase Levothyroxine please. I’m fed up with the battle of trying to gain an increase from my GP to find out if this will help with my symptoms. TIA.

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?

Results Advice Needed Please
Hiya! I'd be most grateful if the wise owls of this forum can shed some light on my results, especially the vitamin tests. I am pretty much constantly symptomatic even though my thyroid results seem pretty optimal for NDT use. I also have early onset menopausal osteoporosis, which is being managed.

OCD like symptoms, health anxiety etc.
Increasingly struggling to cope with the above, with co-morbid Autism (Asperger’s Syndrome) and treated hypothyroidism. Massive worry at the moment is eye movement, I notice everything in my field of vision and move my eyes, cannot focus on a tv because of it. This then makes me anxious and become tense

TEVA brand thyroxine changed
I’ve been on TEVA brand levothyroxine for 10 years. I believe it’s been discontinued. My pharmacy has stopped stocking it and gave me Accord brand. I’ve been on it for 2 months and feel awful. I’ve read that brand switching can do this. What can I do??

75mcg Levothyroxine starter dose?
Hi, 75mcg is what I've been prescribed by the endo. I last took Levothyroxine many years ago for recurrent miscarriage. Have just read the leaflet in the pill packet which says that those over 50 years old should start on 50mcg; I am 53, should I be worried? Thanks!
