Blood test results
Hi,I started levothyroxine (25mcg) approx 6 weeks ago after diagnosis. Bloods retested today and TSH is 5.1. Previous results were 7 and 8.I have an appointment with the GP this week and presume they will want to increase the dose. Pathology investigation report on the blood test suggests undertreatment

Liothyronine
twice daily alongside 75mg of
Levothyroxine
prescribed by my consultant around 4 years ago. ( I have had Hashimotos' disease for almost 40 years)My problem is that I cannot obtain Morningside brand of Liothyronine from my usual pharmacies.

Latest blood tests - low T3
What to do next? Advice welcome please 🙏 Hi all, I 've been on 75 mcg levo for about 9 weeks. Results since January show conversion mostly dropping as I increase Levo. I just retested, after waiting a few weeks to see if symptoms settled. Test results in photo. Endo could see conversion wasn't good

Thyroid feels sore but I am on my normal amount despite my last TSH being 0.02.
Recently my blood test showed TSH 0.02 with normal T4 and T3. The doctor tried to drop my medication but I stood my ground. However I have developed sore thyroid over the last few days. Could it be too much levothyroxine as the doctor said.

My RLS has settled for the time being. Thank you for the information and support!
For the past six months, I've been RLS free! I'm so happy about this and it has made such a difference to my sleep and wellbeing. I have the wonderful, supportive people on here to thank, and especially SueJohnson. Because I received such a good amount of information last year, I was able to check

Change of brand of Levothyroxine tablets
Hi Everyone I think I remember reading on here that it is best to stay on the same brand of levothyroxine and not to change it. I have just received my new 25mcg levothyroxine tablets from the pharmacy and they have changed the brand. Previously I was on Wockhardt 25mcg. This time they have given

Private Endocrinologist
Can anyone recommend a private endocrinologist in East Midlands (I am based in Nottingham but happy to travel) who doesn't only look at pharmaceutical solutions but has a broader wholistic understand of thyroid disease. Have been on Levothyroxine for years, not feeling great, in fact it is getting worse

Advice please!
Hi, I am feeling rather unwell, but my blood tests are 'ok' so just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I'm also very down in the dumps about it. I had Hashimotos 25 years ago, and after a long and difficult fight, managed to get my dose of Levothyroxine to 150/175mcg alternate days. Twice when

Blood test
I know from this community how important it is to test first thing in the morning but my doctors' surgery is very stretched and my blood test appointment can't be changed from late morning. I'm not sure I can last without any food until 30 minutes after the appointment. How bad is it to eat something

sun sensitivity
curious question- does Levothyroxine effect you in the sun?? I’ve never had any issues before being in the sun- and today I’ve been out maybe for an hour or so and my skin is so sore and itchy?? I know with having a underactive thyroid you get dry skin etc but this is bizzare?

Latest test results
My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo
