Advice please
Hello, I have Hashimoto’s and take both
Levothyroxine
and
Liothyronine
. I check my levels regularly and am well controlled on medication. I am in my mid 50’s and since menopause I have struggled with high blood pressure likely triggered by a drop in estrogen. I am fit and fairly slim.

Can anyone explain why my TSH is so low?
Hi all hope everyone is well. I am looking for an explanation as to why my TSH is so low. Recently, i was admitted to ACCU ward with very symptomatic afib which lasted for 26 hours. Was eventually sent home and section in discharge letter states: "Low TSH-0.19 - poor compliance with levothyroxzine

Frequent injuries when exercising.
I have been hypo for about 10 years, currently on 75mcg levo, and 10mcg lio but drop to 5mcg twice a week, otherwise my heart rate goes up from 60’s to 90’s. TSH 0.01, FT4 16.1, FT3 4.6, both 41% through range. Vit D 85. I find if I do even pilates, ligaments and bursae get easily inflamed. Eg an ankle

Levothyroxine brands
Can anyone advise on a brand of levo for sensitive people. I know what suits one might not suit another! In May 2022 I had my thyroid removed after years being overactive with goitre on Carbimazole. At one point my weight dropped to 50kgs and it took many months before it returned to within normal

why would TSH be high
hi everyone why would TSH be high if t4 is ok, T3 is very low though. But I questioned did she take her Levo before hand or if possible lab contamination. Her t3 so definitely low. Thank you

Could it be B12 deficiency?
I have been guided to this forum from Thyroid Uk and I’m hoping that, with your help, I can make sense of the fatigue and weakness I have been experiencing. In October last year I experienced what I can only describe as a crash. I am normally fit and active and had a lovely summer with many trips camping

T4/T3 struggle
I’m writing this because I can’t seem to lose weight since I was diagnosed/put on medication 2 years ago. I was at least 15kg less before medication. I keep gaining despite eating clean. I am on 75mcg levo and about 3mcg of Cytomel. (I weigh 88kg) I gained most of the weight since I started Cytomel

Where do I begin?
Hello, I was diagnosed Hypothyroid 5 years ago after my first child, I am 38. I subsequently found out whilst pregnant with my second child that I had extremely high TP antibodies and therefore have Hashimoto’s. This was an accident, my midwife ordered the wrong test at the time. I had never known
