Dr appointment
Following on from my blood results posted yesterday, I had a phone appointment today. It was with a doctor I don’t know from another practice, and I hope I never have to consult with her again. First thing she asked was why have I stopped taking my medication?!! I assured her I haven’t (this seems

would I benefit from T3?
hi, currently on 50mcg Levothyroxine but still struggling with fatigue (although I also have PoTS). My latest results are: T4: 16.5 (11.9-21.6) TSH: 0.49 (0.27-4.2) T3: 4.6 (3.9-6.8) would T3 be of any benefit?

Hi All. (Just FYI, diagnosed Graves & hyper Jan 21. RAI June 21. Diagnosed hypo Aug 21).It may seem silly to say that until I joined this group, I thought that accepting that "feeling better" is not the same as "feeling well", and I had wrongfully been accepting of the fact that since starting my thyroid

TSH lower but T4 lower too
I have been taking 50mcg Levo daily for the last 2 years for subclinical hypothyroidism. I've recently started feeling really tired and rough again so did some bloods. My TSH has come down from the previous 3 but my T4 is down too. My CRP is raised too and has been for last 2 years around same level.My

GP Issues Again With Levo Dose Reduction
I am writing once again with regard to my mothers Thyroid situation. This has been going on for many years 🙄 My mother GP/GPs have been slowly reducing her Levo dose for years, saying she is over medicated. They are as usual focusing on her TSH bloods thinking because her TSH is below zero she’s over

Advice on halting bone loss following Dexa and hrt or other supplements.
Thyroid cancer at 23, high dose T4 requiring propranolol for 17 years, then battles over dosage post menopause as rules changed. T3, when measured, always seemed to be at a good level. I didn't take HRT as it was at the height of the cancer scare. I regret it now. Sjogrens and very low vitamin D diagnosed

Update on the dreaded G.P appointment…
Just got back from my appointment with the G.p (Copied a bit of history from my last post for reference. ) Well…it was horrible, but to cut a long story short - he agreed on a small increase in levothyroxine from 50mcg to 75mcg. Although it was a long, arduous process, and he made me feel as if I was

Thank you re: low T4 in spite of medication
I have been overwhelmed by the tsunami of advice and am very grateful for all of it. Having read it all carefully this is the plan: To raise Levo to 100/125 mcg alternate days, leaving T3 at 10 mcg but split into 2 doses. Test ferritin/folate, and supplement if required. Wait. And then consider '

Aristo Levothyroxine
Hi all. My levothyroxine was changed to Aristo brand. Which suited me. Then the usual the pharmacy could only get it whenever. But now they have given me Aristo Vencamil Levothyroxine, with no problem getting that.But I can't find any information on what the difference is. Does anyone have any experience

What's a hashi flare and could my change in results be due to that?
Can someone help me understand what a hashi flare is and whether my change in results could be due to that? I was prescribed 75mcg on June 13th and have been on a stable dose since then, same brand etc. Because I was still feeling tired I finally managed to persuade my gp to test t3 and t4 which was
