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

new blood results
It is 6 weeks since i have been on 100
levothyroxine
and introduced
Liothyronine
10mcg daily. Before the test I followed protocol, no medication before, no b vitamins for week before etc. I am pleased that my ferritin has improved but unsure about T3 levels?

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

To increase or not yet?
Morning,Just want to check what you all think. I'm trying to get from 75mcg levo - 100. Went straight for it in April and the anxiety was too much after a few weeks Came back to 75mcg, tested after 6 weeks (will attach results) Based on this and your advice (Buddy) I have been going slower and tried

Hi all, So i've been under private thyroid care for just over and year and a half. I was on 75mcg a day from about 18 years old to 42 years old, had bloods checked and all 'in range' but I didn't feel good. Tired a lot and sluggish and constipation, cold sensitiveness. After changing to private,

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

Can't lose weight !
I have underactive thyroid, and am really overweight ( 138 kg ). For the past 4 weeks I have been on 1500 calorie diet and walking one hour a day. The result = 1 lb loss ! What am I doing wrong ? I take 125mg Levothyroxine daily and wait an hour before having breakfast. I am thinking of taking a Blue

Results - help please
Hi there,I am posting on behalf of my mum (I have hashis and in my own personal nightmare!). She has diagnosed hypothyroidism, not autoimmune. She is 72, has been on levo for around 20 years, current dose 75mg, she doesn't specify a brand so I suspect it's whatever the pharmacist gives her. Serum ferritin

Tweaking T3
Hello, Sorry to post yet again. I've gotten so much advice already and I will most probably have a go at the single dosing of T3 in the fall, but for now I have to make due with my split doses. I was feeling a bit off lately: increasing pain (back, leg, muscle, knee) in my right leg. Something that
