Reduced levo
Hi. Doctor suggested I reduce levo as over 60 years now and surpressed TSH risk for osteoporosis. Like a fool, I agreed to a reduction of 25mcgs every other day even though I felt very well for the last seven years on my dose. After 3 weeks terrible heart palpitations mainly after eating. Slowed

Increased fT4 concentrations in patients using levothyroxine without complete suppression of TSH
Authors: Heleen I Jansen et al . 2023 https://ec.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/ec/12/4/EC-22-0538.xml I found this study ....it's not from endocrinologists , it was done by Lab researchers

Borderline TSH during cancer treatment
Hi folks! Haven't been on here for some time but in the interim I have been treated for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. Had chemo in September last year which was successful (minus a few hiccups like fungal pneumonia that put me in ICU!) and currently on home oral chemo, antifungals and antibiotics daily

sudden drop in tsh
I had bloods done last week and expected them to be the same as the last bloods I had done because I feel no different, but my tsh has gone from 2.39 to 0.75 in 3 months with no changes to my levothyroxine, I only take 25mcg Im just so confused about how it’s dropped so much, to the point where I feel

Vibrations and low thyroid??
Hi my name is Babs! im still figuring out how to use this site but I can’t say enough how unfortunately happy I was to find other ppl who are dealing with this also! Mine started about six months ago when I started weaning down on my gabapentin. Then my thyroid started acting up, and it seemed like

Struggling introducing T3
Hi all, I knew I’d be back before too long as I’m totally useless when it comes to introducing T3! Bit annoying as I obviously need it. Here are my results when I was on 87.5mcg Levo daily with no T3. TSH 0.007 (0.27-4.2) Free T3 4.1 (3.1-6.8) Free thyroxine 23.1 (12-22) Over the last couple

Help with test results including vitamins
I have just had test results from Blue Horizon including vitamins. I take 75 Levothyroxine and 10 t3 self sourced. Levo reduced by doctor due to suppressed TSH I persuaded her not to reduce again which she wanted to do by taking in last blood results with t4 and t3. I always felt well on 100 Levo and

Postpartum thyroiditis?
Hi everyone, Just a bit of a random one. So I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Dec 2023 (7 months postpartum). It was a bit of a shock tbh. I since found out about Postpartum thyroiditis and wondered if my diagnosis was related to that and would somehow sort itself out in a year - 18 months? I'm

Energy levels increased and a feeling of wellbeing when not taking Levothyroxine
Hi I ran out of Levothyroxine a day ago so I didnt have any this morning. I've just done two hours of exercise and I was able to push myself much more than usual. I can sometimes feel very tired in the evenings however I feel fine tonight. Could all this be down to the lack of Levothyroxine and if so

Hypo with Hyper results!
Hi All and good to meet you. Had a thyroidectomy in 2022. Just had a blood test with TSH - 0.2 miU/l FT4 24.5 pmol/L On levothyroxine 125mg for 4 days and 100mg for 3 days. Any idea why this looks like hyperthyroid? Thanks for any advice.

Help with latest results please for endo appointment
Hi, I recently posted on here and was recommended to get my full thyroid panel done, which I have just done via Medichecks. Test was done at 8am, last dose of Levo 24 hrs before etc.. I have an NHS endo appointment on 24th June. My GP has refused to increase my Levo to date as results are in range. Not

results comparison - question around conversion…
hi there I have posted a few times in the past - more recently about my private dr suggesting T3 medication route. After getting advice on her I decided not to pursue that at this time and instead titrate my T4 / Levo up a step (from 50mcg to 75mcg daily) - have just done blood test after 8 weeks

Recent medichecks results
Wow! Did medichecks test and for the first time in all the time I’ve been testing my TGAb were in normal range (110 with range under 115). TPOAb within range as usual. TSH is still suppressed (no surprise) CRP is .983 despite me having been a bit under the weather recently and recovering from a broken

Sudden crash back into fatigue.
After seeing my Endo last week, my T3 was kept the same (5mcg twice a day) and my t4 was put back up to 75. Usually it takes weeks before any difference shows doesn’t it? It wouldn’t be any difference in this case? The day after I started back on the higher dose I felt exhausted, insomnia and poor sleep

Anyone had a symptom dip after upping levo or changing tablet size?
After my elated post which I was finally upped to 75mg and all the pain I had vanished and energy & brain fog improved, I have taken a dip. Just wondering if anyone had experienced this? Upped 75mcg from 50mcg end of March and had been feeling brilliant until 25th May. What's interesting is this

Giving levo another go...
Hi thyroid community, I have been diagnosed with 'sub clinical' hypothyroidism (due to autoimmune condition) in the last few years and my life has been shit ever since as I'm sure many can relate. I didn't get on very well with levothyroxine during my first trial, but I decided to persist giving it
