Hello. This is my first post, although I’ve been lurking here for a while and have been gradually increasing my Levo dose by following the advice on this forum. I’m not quite where I want to be yet, but definitely getting there. I’ve also been struggling with my vitamin and ferritin levels, so have started

Jaw clenching + Levothyroxine
Hi all, Apologies for the long post. I'd like some advice please regarding jaw clenching when on Levothyroxine. Does anyone else have this issue? I am currently on 87.5mic Teva levothyroxine. I have asked my pharmacy for a different brand to see if it helps, but they tell me that they can only get

Hello. These results are my mums. GP prescribed 25mg levo for 28 days. They haven't carried on with prescription and these results came back as 'normal'. Any help would be appreciated, thank you 😊

Considering switching to Levo and Tiromel when run out of Thyroid-S but don’t know what equivalent is, can anyone advise please?
I’m thinking about switching to Levo and Tiromel when run out of Thyroid-S but don’t know what the equivalent of each is, can anyone advise please? I am currently on 3 grains daily. I’ll have to source my own Tiromel but it may be easier than the stress of sourcing Thyroid-S. I may try just Levo first

recurring illnesses
I’ve been trying to get stable on t3/4 combination, still a way to go as last results after increasing to 10 mcg liothyronine in 2 doses were the worst yet, t3 and t4 both at bottom of range, vitamin D draining away again despite supplements. I’ve increased levothyroxine back up to 75 ( I was advised

Help with whether leg pain is side effect of brand of levo prescribed
Hi Everyone I had a parathyroidectomy in January 2023 which resulted in me being hypothyroid (TSH 22.) I was put on 50mg levo which following quarterly blood tests was increased to 75mg in May and 100 mg in November. My blood test last week finally saw my TSH in normal range. It is 2.94 mU/L (range

Folate when SI?
Hi everyone, How much folate is recommended when injecting B12? The folate tablets I have are 400µg. Also, can anyone kindly comment on my sudden lip problems? I awoke 4 mornings ago to blistered lips, they were slightly worse the next morning. The blistering seems to have stopped but my lips are

T4 in NDT
I wondered if anyone know how the T4 in NDT works. Each grain contains about 38/39 T4 but does it works the same as Levo i.e. taking weeks to work? I am now starting back on NDT with no thyroid and a very low FT3 and I am thinking of adding some T3 to it until the T4 in the grains start to work. I

Getting myself in a hell of a muddle!
I have been on levothyroxine for 10+ years and never had a problem (well not since the early years) - I have been getting along nicely on a dose of 75 for the last few years. I was at the GP's a few weeks ago about something not related to my thyroid and happened to mention in the conversation that

Hypothyroidism & ADHD /meds
Hello, community! I’ve suffered from hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) since childhood, and after many years of poor response to Levothyroxine, successfully moved onto treatment with Natural Desiccated Thyroid almost ten years ago now. Switching to NDT was life-changing, and has really improved

Update and latest results
Hello again lovely people. I thought I’d come back and update having been on Levo 50mcg since diagnosis 3 months ago. In early January the GP asked me to retest and only TSH was done (big let down but not unexpected)! I was amazed that after only 2 months on Levo 50mcg that my TSH had dropped to 0.44

Dr. Bianco: video from Thyroid Foundation of Canada
from 9 months ago. Somehow it ended up in my youtube feed this morning. He makes the point that L-thyroxine doesn't always manage to result in good fT3 levels and patients need Liothyronine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlYO_H4Gdc&t=2682s

Cannot get my TSH in range - help needed please, should I switch to levo?
Hello, I’ve been taking Thyroid-S NDT for 6+years and I’ve been trying to get my TSH to be close to range but cannot seem to get anywhere. I’ve tracked my ranges from 2022 and I’m still no closer. I’m nervous as when medichecks send my results they always say there’s higher risk of heart issues and osteoporosis

Advise on taking Levo before bed
hello all, some advise on the above subject would be much appreciated. I usually take my Levo during the night when I wake up to go to the loo, but I think at times it’s disrupting my sleep as I seem to wake up just to take the meds rather then anything else. I wanted to try and start taking it before
