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

Looking for low or suppressed TSH research papers
Hello. I’m on combination T4/T3. I have an endo appointment soon. He reduced my Levo last year because of suppressed TSH. I want to be able to argue for it to be increased again so would need to take along some research that says it’s okay for TSH to be suppressed when on T3. Can anyone help with some

what multivitamin/mineral/trace element would people recommend buying and taking? I have hypo and take 100 levo daily currently. Am about to order the mesichecks blood test recommended on here with finger prick although if blood draw is better will order that.

Hi again fellow sufferers In my last post I had been changed from TEVA Levothyroxine to Mercury Pharma and over the previous few months I had lost 4 and a half stone. A usually impossible feat for anyone hypothyroid and without dieting. But I felt wonderful, the best I had in years My TSH has been

Am I now hyperthyroid? Still struggling to loose weight
Hi all, So doctor increased my levothyroxine dose to 75mcg once a day a few months back (on my request). He told me bloods were fine. Had a blood test last week to check dosage. TSH 0.09m/uL (only one they checked) Is this now too low? I'm still really struggling to lose weight. Sleeping much better

Newbie to this community and wondering about B12 deficiency
Hello, for the past 4 years I've had symptoms of CFS, plus low FT4 and on occasions, low TSH. I've also had my cortisol tested by saliva and short synacthen test, both showed low levels but the adrenals work when stimulated so it's not Addisons. I've tried levothyroxine, T3 and thyroid glandulars and

Help! I'm really Struggling
I really hope someone can help me, apologies for the super long post. I've suffered on and off over the years with subclinical hypothyroidism and started on 50mcg of levothyroxine. I caught covid in 2020 which then gave me the Hashimoto's marker and made me slightly underactive. I was put up to 100mcg

Is blood test for TSH level when taking liothyronine only skewed?
I recall reading somewhere on here that the TSH level when on liothyronine only is not accurate as a diagnosis for increasing/decreasing doses. I have been searching on here for info, to no avail. Can anyone help please.

Opinions on blood results

thyroid and high blood pressure
Hi all So have been struggling to get a GP appointment to discuss my Thyroid meds. After MUCH sulking from me my medication was reduced to 75mcg from 100. Although I managed to hold out for 100 whilst I was on holiday- feel not so good so have been trying to get my meds reinstated. This since end

Private Endo and T3
Hi all, I haven't posted in a few months as I've been waiting for a telephone appointment with a private endo. In the interim I've been taking my Levo only, alternating 125mcg and 112.5mcg and feeling OKish, but not brilliant, low energy etc.. Had total thyroidectomy 2 years ago. I had my private consultation
