Finally spoken to endocrinologist 1st in 20+ years
Got to chat with the endocrinologist (not the one I'd hoped for after seeing list on Thyroid UK) I had to really concentrate as English not her 1st language but we managed to have an in depth chat over the phone. Anyway my doctor referred me as didn't want to put my levo up from 100 to 125mcg luckily

Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Can low iron cause intolerance to thyroxine?

NDT UK
Can anyone advise where I can get NDT in UK? I was taking Thiroid by Nature Pharma which worked well for me, but they stopped making it a few years back. I got as batch of Thyroid-S (4 x 500) which does not agree with me as well but still way better than Levo. My supplies are running low and I am struggling

Miscarriage with hypothyroidism
I recently had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and I think it was because of my underachieve thyroid and I just want to figure out how I can have a healthy pregnancy in the future so this doesn't happen again.. I am on levothyroxine and I guess my does wasn't ad high as it needed to be and I lost the baby.

Does anybody take Thyroid Glandulars to supplement Levothyroxine? So these will have had the T4 and T3 removed to leave the the T2 T1 etc. Just wondered if anyone knew of a good brand in the uk.

Hello, Thanks for everyone’s help with my questions already. I am in a thyroid group on Facebook and they have told me that if you are on levothyroxine medication for an under active thyroid then you should aim for your tsh to be as close to zero as possible, because the levothyroxine is meant to

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering
