Retest advice please
I am intending to arrange a follow up private blood test following a dose increase and change of Levo brand 6 weeks ago. I also changed from taking Levo in the morning to bedtime. The previous test I had was a Medicheck Advanced Thryoid finger prick test but I would welcome advice as to whether I should

DHEA medication /Hashi flare?
My DHEA was less than 10 (106 - 300) so my thyroid Dr gave me a prescription for DHEA. Has anyone had headaches after taking them? I’ve been four weeks in and too early to tell if they are working. Be grateful for any feedback. I also think I’m having a Hashimoto flare, my own fault if it is. Two days

Hi all hope you had a good Christmas. I need help in finding out what’s wrong with me as the doctors don’t know. I have been unintentionally losing weight for the past year. 4 stone+ now. (From clothes size 16-18 to size 8). All Thyroid results normal for me during that time. Until August when my

I seem to be more ill since starting Levo
Before Levo I was hardly ever ill, rarely had a cold or flu but since starting Levo I’ve had the flu quite badly and I’ve had a constant cough since going on about 2 months. Now I’ve got a stinking cold over the holidays. Has anybody else had this or is this just a co-incidence?

increased tinnitus post levithyrixine
Hi I have been taking levothyroxine 50mcg since 2015 my dose has never changed as my GP always says my blood results are within range I have never felt really well on levothyroxine and also the tinnitus I experience seems to increase a while after I take it. A friend said to try taking it at night

T4 and T3
Hi all,I was wondering if you have had your thyroid removed do you still need Levo? I am having some problems since on levo and lio. I was self medicating with lio only and was doing OK, not great, but better than I am now. I have an appointment at Christies in two weeks and could do with some more

Thyroid Blood Test
Hi Everyone First time posting on here. I have seen many people recommend having thyroid blood tests early morning before taking Levothyroxine. Does this make a big difference to the results? I am due a thyroid blood test, my problem is I am housebound so my GP arranges for a district nurse to come

Accord 25mcg discontinued?
My mum is on 75mcg Levo per day and for over 10 years she’s taken Accord. pharmacist now claims Accord 25mcg has been discontinued in June 23. Is this correct as news to me.

High Free T4 with hypothyroidism?
I've had hypothyroidism for about 15 years and been on levothyroxine all that time. It's never really got me back to feeling great but this year I'm dreadful. They raised my levo to 200mcg in July and the effect has been a disaster. I lost 50% of my hair and bedridden on too many days. Gradually reducing

Normal TSH but symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Hi, looking for advice. I've been on Levothyroxine 50mg dose for 3 years. My last TSH was 2.75 so within normal range but my hair is thinning, I'm always cold, sometimes constipated and low pulse rate, sometimes as low as 50 and I'm no athlete. MyGP only tests TSH should I ask for more tests?

Levo - am I worrying too much?
First, best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year. I have been on Levo 100 for seven or so months now - the Accord brand. I got my new order by post about ten days ago and stupidly didn't open the parcel until Christmas day, when I needed to! They sent me Teva, so I have missed two days so far

T3 prescribing
My endo and gp have decided to remove my prescription for Liothyronine and want me to be on levo only. I'm in Cumbria. May I have the list of T3 doctors or endos that might prescribe lio on the NHS, if there even is such a thing. I can buy my own but my supply is reliant on someone else bringing it

I’m A Bit Confused About Timings For My Blood Test Tomorrow.
I take 100 mcg Levo Mon-Sat. and 50mcg on Sunday. Christmas got me mixed up so I ended up with 100mcg on Sunday, so I compensated for it and took the 50mcg last night (Monday). Today is Tuesday and the time is now 9:30, I have already had my breakfast. My blood test is at 8:40 tomorrow morning. I’

Over-treatment
Hi,I've been treated for hypothyroidism for about 8 years and for most of that time, taken 150mg of levothyroxine. Recently, as the fatigue had become difficult after having covid, I found my B12 levels were low, so I started treatment for that. My fatigue improved about 2 weeks later. I looked at my
