thyroid abnormalities
My latest blood tests show TSH 4.6 and T4 19. I am on 75 mcg levothyroxine. These results do not seem to tally. I also have neck pain. Any advice?

High BP, abdominal pain and sickness and UTI
I initially had bouts of anaemia and tiredness throughout the early 2000s and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism around 2010. I was told that my excess weight would drop off me after being prescribed Levothyroxine. That didn't happen but I did get side effects and symptoms of an underactive thyroid

Losing Lupus diagnosis
I was diagnosed in 2010 with lupus, and 2012 with secondary sjogrens, raynauds and antiphospholipid syndrome. I was also badly affected by light photosensitivity. I had in 1978 a pituitary apoplexy and as yet undiagnosed thyroid hormone resistance. There's been a total of 17 different diagnoses

Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

Getting hold of TEVA proving difficult

levo reduction
After annual bloods in july a duty doctor told me to reduce meds, 125mcg and 100 mcg on alternate days as I was overmedicted and retest in four or 5 months, I think that was too long. However I had bloods done again on 15th november and phoned the surgery 9 days later as I hadn't heard from them and

Endo agreed to adjust T3 to even, regular dosing.
Further to my previous post regarding the endocrinologist increasing my T3 from 10mcg x twice daily to 20mcg x1 daily, Mon, Wed, Fri only, and rest remaining at 10mcg.I thought this was odd, and posted on this forum. Some replied, saying this was not right. I sent an email to my endocrinologist on 16th

How many days after a cold should I wait for blood test?
I have been on 75 mg of Levothyroxine since November 2022 after initially starting on 50 mg and have booked an advanced Medichecks thyroid test on Monday 18 December to get facts about my thyroid and nutrition status. I don’t feel as well as I should, still cold and get bouts of constipation, muscle

t3/t4 combo advice please
I am feeling very fed up, very low and like I can’t keep going with all this… Saw endo last month and was advised to take 7.5 t3 and choice of whether I wanted to drop to 50 or 62.5mcg levo - down from 75. I opted to stick with 62.5 levo as 50 had no symptom relief before! I started slow adding 2.5

I’m Quite Annoyed Over My Latest Blood Tests.
Three months ago my Levo was reduced because they thought I was taking too much. This week I had my blood test and they haven’t even tested T3 as last time so how am I supposed to know if it’s much better or not?. The September results were: TSH - 0.03 [0.35-4.94] FT4 - 20.1 [9.0-19.0] FT3 - 4.89 [

Low TSH, T4 but optimal T3 on NDT (22 weeks pregnant)
I'm 22 weeks pregnant and get my labs run every month. Getting treatment has been a bit messy. I was referred to an endo and went out of curiosity when I was first pregnant. But I also did my own research and read Stop the Thyroid Madness, joined some groups, etc., and learned about NDT. I felt

THS Levels
hi I have just had my annual thyroid blood test which has come back as 0.4 classed as normal. I am over 65 and taking 600mcg of levothyroxine over 7 days. My question is if my TSH levels are normal should I stop taking my meds or reduce my dosage? Grateful for any advice

Relevance of TSH vs T3/T4
My TSH varies considerably: 1.5 to 3.1 in a number of NHS test but my T4 has been more consistent between 17.4 to 19.1. In two Blue Horizon tests:TSH 1.29 and 4.7 with T4 15 and 14.5 and T3 4.2 and 4.21. So fairly constant T3 and T4 but wildly varying TSH. These results all for 75mcg dose over almost
