Levothyroxine interfering with periods?
Hi, I have been on 50 levothyroxine for around a year as my blood readings showed subclinical hypothyroid around 5 TSH. This reduced the TSH to 1.9 without side effects but my latest reading was 4.44 and I was tired again so they upped to 75 8 weeks ago. My periods have never been irregular and I have

Thyroid and Mental Health (desperate)
Hi, Since my diagnosis with Hypothyroidism, I have had, at best erratic relief of some symptoms with varied dosages of Levothyroxine (more likely, I have learned to cope with the massive life altering consequences a bit). However, recently I have been having mental health symptoms. agitation, stress

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

Latest results.
Hi all. I wonder if you could share your thoughts on my latest results. My levothyroxine has been increased from 50 to 75mg. I have had a very sore mouth and tongue for over 12 months and was hoping if my B12 levels increased and my levothyroxine was working well, it would go. It hasn’t. My B12

A question on 'high' dosage
So I'm currently on 150mcg of levo and 30mcg T3 and my latest results were still only 65% and 62% respectively. I've just started HRT so I may well continue to see improvements but I'm curious about my dosing. I'm 6'1" and roughly 65kg so I'm on the cusp of underweight. I know we need what we need

Different brands levothyroxine
Hi , after speaking with my doctor ( after the endocrinologist debacle) it was agreed that I would try a different brand of levothyroxine due to various side affects I've been having .Different people seem to get along with different brands. I've tried Teva and Eltroxin so far. Just picked up my prescription

The Plot Thickens…
I posted a few days ago about shoulder pain. It has got worse and is in both shoulders and is affecting my neck. It is far worse in the morning. My Osteopath gave me a private doctor’s contact details so I could see them for a cortisone injection. I had the appointment this morning and it turned out

Feeling dizzy, breathless, jelly legs 3 hours after my dose
Hey everyone, Any ideas on this? I feel okay in the morning, okay late evening, but few hours after taking thyroid meds I start to feel tired, dizzy, breathless and my legs are like jelly. I take 86 mcg T4 and 23 T3 in Armour and synthetic T3 combined. I'm in a process of eliminating Armour and adding
