New results from GP blood test
So the saga continues. Previously battles with GP over meds, even though I am open and honest about self treating T3 and SI B12, trying my best to impart some knowledge or even a little common sense. Reluctantly reduced Levo a bit, from 150mcg to 125mcg daily. Last bloods 15/12/23, TSH 0.01

Take the sertraline or not?
I’m not doing so well and have nobody to talk to who knows about this stuff. After ongoing problems, the dr has now given me Sertraline. I’m not convinced as I’m sure the whole problem is my thyroid (mentioned before on here, looks like I’m not converting well). I’m seeing a private Endo in three

Hello, I’m still quite new to the group. History of hypothyroid 9 years. Less well controlled symptoms last 18+months. If I’m honest I’ve never felt the same since going through huge stress 5 years ago when my husband was having treatment for a serious illness right after I’d just had our second

OH sudden increase in TSH 14 years after Radioactive iodine treatment
Hi,OH (65) has been feeling really fatigued the last few months, also really feeling the cold. Treated with radioactive iodine 14 years ago and been on 100mg of levothyroxine ever since. He had a prostatectomy last June and we had put the tiredness down to that. A recent blood test has put his TSH

Increase dose or maintain?
hi all, I’m on 75mcg of Levothyroxine for Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto’s. Latest result 1.92 tsh miu/L (range 0.3-5.5) My medication review is on Thursday, originally I thought I’d need to bring my TSH lower to feel well, but I now feel a million times better on 75mcg with no more symptoms

Dosage
Hi everyone I wanted to ask a question, I am putting off getting my bloods done for a few more weeks as I am on my 4 th week of 25tiromel and 100 levo, as I have no thyroid at all I was wondering what dosage of both work best for most, I know we are all different but just to give me an idea. I actually

My GP has no idea how hypothyroidism has affected me.
I had a telephone appointment with my GP today. He told me that my blood my TSH is elevated and that I need an increase of liothyronine. I told him I have an appointment with the Endocrinologist in a week or so, hence the blood test. He then asked me when I was going back to work as I have been off

Dry mouth
Hiya people,I have been on 100 m levo for 18 months, underactive, I've realised since I started taking them, I have constantly chewing gum and eating mints, previously wasn't a chewer, but my mouth is dry all of the time, maybe its the acid reflux? I welcome comments or maybe someone can concur?

iron test results
Hello. This is my first post, although I’ve been lurking here for a while and have been gradually increasing my Levo dose by following the advice on this forum. I’m not quite where I want to be yet, but definitely getting there. I’ve also been struggling with my vitamin and ferritin levels, so have started

Thyroid Trust Talk by Professor Karol Sikora
In the UK hypothyroid patients are only prescribed
levothyroxine
(LT4), because
liothyronine
(LT3) is more expensive. Higher T4 levels are needed to achieve normal T3 levels.
Research over the past decade has shown that T4 (not T3) acting on the integrin αvβ3 receptor promotes cancer.

Hello. These results are my mums. GP prescribed 25mg levo for 28 days. They haven't carried on with prescription and these results came back as 'normal'. Any help would be appreciated, thank you 😊

Considering switching to Levo and Tiromel when run out of Thyroid-S but don’t know what equivalent is, can anyone advise please?
I’m thinking about switching to Levo and Tiromel when run out of Thyroid-S but don’t know what the equivalent of each is, can anyone advise please? I am currently on 3 grains daily. I’ll have to source my own Tiromel but it may be easier than the stress of sourcing Thyroid-S. I may try just Levo first

T4 in NDT
I wondered if anyone know how the T4 in NDT works. Each grain contains about 38/39 T4 but does it works the same as Levo i.e. taking weeks to work? I am now starting back on NDT with no thyroid and a very low FT3 and I am thinking of adding some T3 to it until the T4 in the grains start to work. I
