My drs reduced my levo and now I'm having a mare.
So I've been suffering with swelling and pins and needles recently and my dr has said it must be my thyroid He's reduced levo from 100mcg to 75mcg. My t4 has gone from 13 to 11. The edema is worse now.. However my testerone has gone from normal 0.8... range 0.3-1.9 to 2.5!!! Does anyone know why

Slow release T3 version, combined with levothyroxine
I would be interested in your experience with mixing the two hormones( levo & slow-release T3). I take Tirosint first in the morning and after an hour, I also take t3 slow release and I don't know if it's correct like that, the doctor who prescribed them didn't give me more indications. It would be more

T3 suppliers without prescription please
Hi there, Symptoms persist and recent bloods show a further decrease in conversion despite several changes to try to improve this (increasing vitamin levels and small decrease in Levothyroxine). I am looking to purchase T3 without a prescription and would appreciate private messages with reliable

Antibiotics and Levo ?
I had my operation this morning and was given antibiotics to take twice a day. How close can it be to my Levo please? I usually take my Levo around 12:30 am. just before bed. Thank you so much.

Purchasing levothyroxine
Hi, does anyone know if I can purchase levothyroxine online? My son's docs aren't willing to increase his prescription so need to purchase some.

Confused!
Was told I had under active thyroid after many blood tests, started on Levothyroxine 25mcgs took for four days then had awful palpitations and fast heart rate, told to stop bloods and have blood tests and check antibodies. Waited four weeks for tests, got results today, bloods normal no action required

Wockhardt levothyroxine
Hi I just read on another site anyone over the age of 50 shouldn't take Wockhardt brand of levothyroxine. Surely this can't be true. I've been taking 50/75 mcgs of this brand for 9 months as I've reacted badly to other brands

Urgent help please - feeling total despair - think I'm going crazy after stopping and restarting levothyroxine - blood results included
Hi, This won't be the full story as I don't want to to make the post too long and hard/annoying to read. It's already going to be too long. RAI for Graves around 11 years ago. Never felt good on T4 since. Normal dose around 100 micrograms plus around 12.5 micrograms a couple of times a week. Mostly stopped

Taiwan retrospective population study shows levothyroxine use significantly associated with increased risk of cancer including PCa
Levothyroxine is commonly taken for an under active thyroid. “Levothyroxine users showed a 50% higher risk of cancer at any site (AOR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.46-1.54; P < .0001) compared with non–users.” I take it and will be querying the necessity and dose with my doctor. Risk of cancer in long-term levothyroxine

Falling apart
Just had my first ever Medichecks results through and some (most) are pretty bad although all have that lovely green mark!All supplements were stopped about 6 weeks ago - long story but I've only just got round to doing the test. Test taken at 9am with just water beforehand and last dose of Levothyroxine

Hypothyroid
Hi, I believe I may have had thyroid problems since my 30’s when I ballooned from a petite size 8 to size 16 over a few years. I am 69, in 2016 I was diagnosed with AF think I had heart issues 10 years before that. I was put on Apixiban and beta blockers while I was also taking seratonin reuptake inhibitors

Tirosent
Hello,I have been on Levothyroxine for 4 years and switched to Tirosent last year. I've noticed significant improvement in stomach and digestive issues and feel better overall. Is it possible to heal the thyroid and come off medication safely?

new test results and dose review advice.
Hello, I was started on levothyroxine by my GP on the 8th of January following test results that showed hypothyroidism. I had had symptoms for a while snd thought they were perimenopause, but my TSH levels were tested previously and came back ok (as shown by my July 2023 test results) T4 wasn’t tested

Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75. I've talked with them twice about this, but they seem to think that since my TSH is in range that any med adjustments may make me have some heart issues. I recently changed

Blood results interpretation required
Hi there, I need help interpreting my results. My symptoms are brain fog, joint aches, lack of energy and anxiety. These have been with me all my life. They got better in 2022 when I started combination therapy. However, I do not think I have reached my optimum (whatever that is) because these symptoms
