I cannot lose weight. I managed fine for years on Adkins diet then suddenly, in 2000 or so I started gaining wight from 120lbs. to 185 lbs!
For years I managed my weight fine with Adkins diet (low carb). Sometime around 2000 my general practitioner discovered I was hypothyroid & prescribed Levo (don't remember the amount). I was doing fine, but suddenly, in 2016 I began gaining weight for no reason at all!!! I am now up to 185 lbs.!!

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

Pharmacist blocking prescription
I just want to have a rant. For 30 years I have had the usual frustrations of doctors constantly trying to reduce my dose but nothing has compared to this latest scenario. I put in my usual repeat prescription request with plenty of time because pharmacy needs a week now. It was blocked so I phone the

Results since taking T3
I've just got my bloods back (protocols as per this forum followed). I am speaking to my endo at the end of Feb and would welcome some guidance please. I added T3 (continued with 75mcg Levo). First 2 weeks 5mcg x3 per day and then 10mcg x3 per day ever since. The first month on T3 was really encouraging

Happy New Year! Newbie, posting results for help/advice please following my “shock” post in December
Still trying to digest everything from my December diagnosis of Hashimoto’s and advice given. Instead of adding to my previous post I thought it better to begin a new one to incorporate my blood results that several of you kind people requested. I still cannot fathom that I need to take medication for

Choosing pharmacy to get Thybon Henning
Hi all, I have a private perscription from endo to get Thybon Henning. He recommended Springfield Pharmacy but I was really put off by their abruptness on the phone when I called (and I just had a couple of questions ie where Thybon came from, rough idea of cost) ... and he wouldnt even give me any

child with dyslexia
My daughter has recently been diagnosed with dyslexic tendencies. She is almost 7yrs old in year 2 of primary school. I had her B12 tested last year due to recurrent mouth ulcers. I’m just concerned that while displaying the characteristics of dyslexia in reading & writing etc she does not experience

optimal ranges
I’m using the Thyroid calculator I saw posted somewhere on here and I’m just wondering if there is an ‘optimal % range’ not the drs ranges, that I can compare mine to, also is there an ‘optimal’ T4:T3 ratio. I appreciate its very individual but just looking for a guide.

Endo appointment, need NDT
I'm just waiting on an endo appointment (T4, T3 have not worked for me, nearly 4 years of chopping and changing meds by gp/endo). Because of gut/stomach issues (malabsorbtion) diarrhoea, cramps, inflammation) I spoke to a parathyroid /thyroid surgeon on Wednesday (with her for primary hyperparathyroidism

Low T3 and diabetes risk
I have just read this in depth article on the diabetes U.K. website which clearly states that Low thyroid function is associated with an increased risk of diabetes and pre diabetes. Low T3 increases the risk. The risk is increased even if T3 is low in range. Insulin secretion requires good levels

Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Test results
Afternoon, My Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Panel results have arrived after a long wait and I’d appreciate some help understanding them. I undertook the test to check my DIO1 and DIO2 status, both of which appear ‘normal’ (no inherited defects). However, three variants are flagged up in either red

Hi Everyone I’ve been plagued by RLS for just on 30 Years now. 15 years untreated ( what hell that was), and the last 15 years on Pramipexole. This worked pretty well for me, although I’ve had to steadily increase the dose, and therefore the side effects. My GP is happy for me to reduce the Pramipexole

How long for ANA/ENA results?
I've had quite a few symptoms of what my GP suspects might be a CTD, spanning back about 10 years but lots more cropping up more recently. She's requested (I think) an ANA test and I understand from googling that if the ANA is positive it then gets sent for ENA testing as well? I'm not sure what the

Premature cardiac risk
“20” percent of humans have elevated lipoprotein (a), putting them at risk for heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis. Unfortunately, only 3/10 of a percent (.3 percent ) of U.S. primary care physicians ever test their patients, unlike physicians in the EU and Canada. The link below will offer more
