Guidance on levo dosing
Hi All , I'd really appreciate any guidance/wisdom that could help me with the next step on my Thyroid journey!.. To summarize, I have been subclinical hypothyroid (TSH comes back in 4-5 range) several years. I started on Levothyroxine in January this year to try feel better, and have kept a log

Could anyone tell me the benefit of having both TT4 and Free T4 tested please…just looking at differences in tests and prices please?
Hi, I won’t repeat the question, just wondering if anyone could give me an idea on this please. Obviously a bit of difference between the pricing of the two tests I’m looking at and not sure how helpful that info could be? Im not on anything for thyroid, but tsh has been up and down in past so I keep

Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

About to have my first Ferritin infusion
Hello from Tasmania, Australia. Briefly, I have had RLS for over 40 years. I am taking 2mg of Pramipexole and 1200 mg of Gabapentin per night which enables me to get a few hours of reasonable sleep . I also have to be careful not to sit for any length of time during the day or the RLS crank up. Tomorrow

Thyroid issues
Hi. My TSH levels have been 0.02 for over a year, yet T3 and T4 have been in the normal range.I have chronic fatigue, reason I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism 20 years ago, and they have reduced my Levothyroxine to 75mg now. I am so concerned that this is going to cause my fatigue to get worse.

Overmedication question
Hi all, I have been feeling really weird over the past couple of weeks and I wonder if I'm overmedicated. I take 100mcg levo daily following hemithyroidectomy in Dec. I had been feeling much better since starting the tablets in March. But over the past few weeks I've had hot sweats, very easy to lose

New member -Dexa query
Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

When is genetic testing done?
Hello, I think my husband would like to do genetic testing and I am curious at what stage this is done? He is in the process of deciding on treatment and hopes to have a decision made within the next 2 weeks. We have talked to the surgeon oncologist already. We are waiting on a PSMA scan on Apr 24 and

Treatment resistance
I have had genetic testing done. I have tried almost 75% of meds listed that are supposed to help but they wear off after a few months. I am feeling hopeless. Anyone have a suggestion for treatment. I am in a coping skills class.

T3 when to take it
have been put on a T3 trial by a private doctor who specialises in thyroid conditions, just wondered what time of day morning and evening is best to take it, as have been told to take it twice a day. Been on thyroid medication for over 70 years. For a underactive thyroid. As members say the thyroid

Intrinsic factor
I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was. It is no longer
