Help with test results including vitamins
I have just had test results from Blue Horizon including vitamins. I take 75 Levothyroxine and 10 t3 self sourced. Levo reduced by doctor due to suppressed TSH I persuaded her not to reduce again which she wanted to do by taking in last blood results with t4 and t3. I always felt well on 100 Levo and

Starting T3 - advice please
I am fortunate to have been allowed a trial of T3 through the NHS (in Scotland) Can I ask for some advice / could anyone link to some helpful posts around starting T3? I am currently on 100mcg Levo. This is being reduced to 50mcg with 5mcg of Liothyronine twice a day (12 hours apart - so 7:30am and

When to take Lio before blood test?
Hiya, sorry I have not posted for a while. It is a familiar story alas: hypo symptoms on Levo alone became very bad, eventually got referral to endo, started Liothyronine (T3) trial in Oct 2021, worked great, hypo symptoms improved rapidly. But now TSH is below range and my endo wants to reduce Lio

Postpartum thyroiditis?
Hi everyone, Just a bit of a random one. So I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Dec 2023 (7 months postpartum). It was a bit of a shock tbh. I since found out about Postpartum thyroiditis and wondered if my diagnosis was related to that and would somehow sort itself out in a year - 18 months? I'm

Energy levels increased and a feeling of wellbeing when not taking Levothyroxine
Hi I ran out of Levothyroxine a day ago so I didnt have any this morning. I've just done two hours of exercise and I was able to push myself much more than usual. I can sometimes feel very tired in the evenings however I feel fine tonight. Could all this be down to the lack of Levothyroxine and if so

Hypo with Hyper results!
Hi All and good to meet you. Had a thyroidectomy in 2022. Just had a blood test with TSH - 0.2 miU/l FT4 24.5 pmol/L On levothyroxine 125mg for 4 days and 100mg for 3 days. Any idea why this looks like hyperthyroid? Thanks for any advice.

Help with latest results please for endo appointment
Hi, I recently posted on here and was recommended to get my full thyroid panel done, which I have just done via Medichecks. Test was done at 8am, last dose of Levo 24 hrs before etc.. I have an NHS endo appointment on 24th June. My GP has refused to increase my Levo to date as results are in range. Not

results comparison - question around conversion…
hi there I have posted a few times in the past - more recently about my private dr suggesting T3 medication route. After getting advice on her I decided not to pursue that at this time and instead titrate my T4 / Levo up a step (from 50mcg to 75mcg daily) - have just done blood test after 8 weeks

Recent medichecks results
Wow! Did medichecks test and for the first time in all the time I’ve been testing my TGAb were in normal range (110 with range under 115). TPOAb within range as usual. TSH is still suppressed (no surprise) CRP is .983 despite me having been a bit under the weather recently and recovering from a broken

Sudden crash back into fatigue.
After seeing my Endo last week, my T3 was kept the same (5mcg twice a day) and my t4 was put back up to 75. Usually it takes weeks before any difference shows doesn’t it? It wouldn’t be any difference in this case? The day after I started back on the higher dose I felt exhausted, insomnia and poor sleep

Anyone had a symptom dip after upping levo or changing tablet size?
After my elated post which I was finally upped to 75mg and all the pain I had vanished and energy & brain fog improved, I have taken a dip. Just wondering if anyone had experienced this? Upped 75mcg from 50mcg end of March and had been feeling brilliant until 25th May. What's interesting is this

Giving levo another go...
Hi thyroid community, I have been diagnosed with 'sub clinical' hypothyroidism (due to autoimmune condition) in the last few years and my life has been shit ever since as I'm sure many can relate. I didn't get on very well with levothyroxine during my first trial, but I decided to persist giving it

Surprised about bloods this morning
My GP has run thyroid tests along with ones for cardio this morning. I wish the ranges were the same, hard to wrap my brain around change! Tsh is 1.56 (0.32 - 4.94) T4 is 17.4 (9 - 19) 84% In April T4 was 78% before changing levo from 50-75. I am very relieved the T4 change was minimal as I

block and replace update
Wanted to give an update on coming off block and replace medication for Graves’ disease to help anyone else who might be facing the same predicament. Stopped taking carbimazole and levothyroxine 14 days ago after 2 years of treatment, terrified by the thought of it but my specialist said to just stop
