Help Please With Thyroid & Vitamin Results.
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.

Advice re blood results and symptoms
Hello, I've been following this forum for a while and this is my first time posting - I'm hoping for some reassurance and guidance. I've provided background information (including blood results from earlier in the year) in my Bio which should explain where I am up to (I hope I've included everything!

Ideas please
I had a total thyroidectomy 20 years ago for a massive goitre. I had been taking levothyroxine for 20 years prior to the surgery. The idea being that giving me the meds would stop the goitre growing but it didn't work. My levels have fluctuated over the years but I have never had any symptoms - until

Help! GP confusion : under to over active? Please help
My GP called me and said I'm now overactive and stopped being under active.I attach last 3 results :- June 24, Feb 24 and Dec 23. She said to reduce my Levothyroxine from 100mcg to 50mcg. I can't be believe this is true. What is a sensible course of action.

Test Result advice
Hi all, Very recently told I have a diagnosis of Hypothyroidism (test results included) after a phone consultation and requested blood tests. Just looking for some friendly advice on what these test results actually mean as only received a text message with instructions for starting Levothyroxine

Erfa thyroid blood results confusion
Hi I've been on erfa for a few years now. I am on 3.5 grains. My bloods show up as being under replaced high TSH but when I try to increase my dose I get all the symptoms of being hyperthyroid.

Can someone advise me please?
Hi, I was prescribed 50 of levo but nervous to start on that dose after reading "start slowly" so have been taking 25 for 2 weeks now, I have leg pain back & some anxiety/feeling a bit low but otherwise ok, should I increase to the prescribed amount now? Or wait another couple of weeks? Thank you for

Dose of Levo lowered
Hi, My GP lowered my thyroxine from 150mcg to 125 mcg as my TSH was 0.01 after the January blood test My TSH has been low for years. There was no discussion about how I felt and no option to stay on 150mcg. Results from Monitor my Health as GP refuses to test anything other than TSH! Both tests

hopefully getting somewhere!!
Having been treated for hypothyroidism since 2000 when I had a thyroid nodule, I have struggled with my weight and wellbeing to varying degrees over the years. I'm now 79, but active. I saw an Endo privately in October had a few blood tests which I have posted, (including Medichecks in Feb I think)

Abnormal blood test again!
Hi all, I posted in here 2 months ago after discovering my thyroid blood results were abnormal. I saw a GP and agreed an increase in dosage from 200 to 225 daily levothyroxine. I’ve had another blood test (Friday just gone) and the results on my NHS app state ‘ Abnormal, but to be expected ‘ … should

Experience with Covid and hypo/hashis
Hi all, I’ve been quite stable for a number of years now. I was on NDT and doing ok but not perfect, adding a small amount of Levo to my NDT at the end of 2019 made me feel really well, pulling my FT4 up in the range a bit made a big difference. At the beginning of May this year I thought I caught

Advice
Hi Not been here for a while as I have been investigating possible Hyperparathyroidism - still ongoing, it's a long road! Also had to deal with a gallbladder removal too...but now resolved 🤞 I'm having private bloods to check for raised Calcium (for HPT), which also test my thyroid. As both problems

Starting levothyroxine- which brand?
Hi, I have been asked by the end to start on 75mcg Levothyroxine today. I am gluten free and have reactive hypoglycaemia so avoid sugar/ carbs; is there a particular brand of Levothyroxine that might be good for me? I also take a bunch of supplements; Vit D, B complex, selenium, magnesium, iron;

Thyroid Test Results
As a result of my GP pressurising me to reduce Levothyroxine intake I have had tests carried out privately. My weight justifies the dosage of 200mcg daily that is currently prescribed. (1.6mcg/kg) However this dosage results in incredibly low TSH levels. My GP seeks to raise TSH levels. Results are

Struggling with levothyroxine
Hi I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid in Jan this year. GP said it was 36. It has come down to 30. I was on 50mg of levothyroxine but had a awful time on them. They reduced to 12.5mg and slowly increased to 37mg. I have now been taking 50mg for three days and again now feel terrible, I'm emotional

Sub-clinical hypothyroidism
4 years ago in 2019 my thyroid levels were showing underactive borderline I managed to get into normal range and all I did was take Seamoss gel. However it's returned and now my TSH is 10.38 and T4 around 9. I do feel lethargic and fatigued and the GP wants to stick me on to a low dose of levo.. I don't
