Post thyroidectomy.
Am now three weeks past total thyroidectomy and removal of numerous lymph glands. First week on levothyroxine I felt great. The last week I have been sleeping around sixteen hours a day. I could sleep right now! Due to see my surgeon next week for first check up since operation. What should I ask? I've

The one I am on now, although I am not allergic to , has made me put weight on, and as soon as I have taken it I have

Blood test timing
Hi all you clever folks out there, I’ve upped my medication of liquid thyroxine in the last few months from 50 to 75mcg. I did it without GP’s consent but I was feeling so hypo and tired and although my last blood test results were within range (TSH 2.35), I knew an increase would help. I was going to

reaction to Levothyroxine?
Hi, recently diagnosed as having hypothyroidism and given Levothyroxine( Mercury Pharma) by my local GP, i started a 50mg per day dose in mid November and by Xmas/New year had come out in a severe rash and itching, so stopped the meds and reported to my GP eventually the side effects started to subside

Looking for IVF experienced Endocrinologist
Hi lovely people, After my 6th unsuccessful transfer and 3rd with donor embryos, I have decided to include an endocrinologist who can help maintain Thyroid levels before and during transfer. In the last cycle despite increasing the dose of Levothyroxine, my TSH jumped from 2.4 to 3.4 on day of transfer

T4 Rising
Back in January I was feeling awful, worse than when I was thyrotoxic at the start of all these problems in Sept 2021. In October 2023 I suffered what appeared to be a mild bout of Covid-19 but I seemed to slowly deteriorate from then on with what appeared to be worsening hypothyroid symptoms. These

Endo consultation today for low TSH
Hi, I have an appointment with an endo at Charing Cross Hospital today at 2pm (with a [name edited]) to discuss my very low (below range) TSH. My GP referred me (thanks, NOT) because he wants to further reduce my levo from 125mcg to 100mcg. I'm the daft beggar that also takes 18.75 liothyronine by importing

What percentage is this T4 results?
Thia is my daughter's t4 result from a private health check she has just paid for. Her TSH was 4.5. I have been trying to persuade her to increase her levothyroxine given that her GP doesn't seem to know much but she has held off until now. She is going to her GP again now with me advising her to be

12.5 mcg Levo, disappeared!
Am on 87.5 mcg Levo per day. Got my latest prescription (75 + 12.5 mcg) and pharmacy gave me an IOU for the 12.5. That was a week ago, and they still don’t have any. So I was told to get another prescription so I could go to a different pharmacy, I did this and no other pharmacy I tried has that strength

Folate timing
Good morning, I’m taking folate as we’re trying for a baby and I’ve read this is better than folic acid. My question is do I need to take it at a different time to levothyroxine? I take it 30 mins to an hour after, but I’m not sure if it’s like iron and should be several hours apart. Many thanks for

TSH and Levothyroxine help
My TSH in November 2023 was 6.92 mlU/L whilst on 100mg Levothyroxine. My GP increased my dose to 125mg. Repeat TSH March 2024 is 0.106 mlU/L. Awaiting my GP appointment but wondering how an additional 25mg of Levo has taken my TSH result from one side of the normal range scale to the other?

Feedback is appreciated
Hello, all! I may summarize a bit. I was "diagnosed" underactive/hypothyroidism from age 14 and given 100mcg Levothyroxine at the time. I am 43 yrs old, I have weened myself off 16 days ago. Feeling so relieved mentally. More clarity, little to no racy or unnecessary thoughts...So peaceful in a sense
