Undiagnosed and confused
I would really appreciate some advice after feeling like I have been in dead end for quite some time. I had Covid in March 2022 and since then have been having thyroid issues (along with other issues). My latest blood tests show: TSH: 7.07 munit/L T4: 14.1 pmol/L T3: 5pmol/L TSH receptor antibodies

results advice for my daughter please
evening all! please may I ask for some feedback on my daughters most recent bloods? she has previously had 3 above range tsh results but it had seemed to go back down. On one occasion even though her tsh was above range and her t4 low she had above range t3 which was very strange. We’ve done a watch

Please advise on latest results
Hi all, Please see my latest results, I am on 100mcg Levo and 3 x 5mcg Compounded T3. Tests were done approximately 10 hours after my last dose of T3 and 24 hours after my T4. I feel I am still undermedicated on T3, my fingertips are cold, I have weight loss resistance even though am very active

5 weeks after increasing to 75mcg levo and…
I feel bloody great!!! After feeling like I was circling the drain a couple of days after the increase I now feel like somebody has flicked a switch inside me…Turbo Boost…in a non-over-medicated kind of way. It’s mint! It won’t last though will it 🤣🤣. In another week or so I’ll probably end up stalled

ginkgo biloba - safe to take??
Does anyone know if ginkgo biloba is safe to take when taking Levo? If so what benefits do you find from it?

Low testosterone 35y/o F
Hi all, I had a female hormone panel done because I suspected something was awry with sex hormones alongside Hashi's and extremely low cortisol (currently on levo, T3, and hydrocortisone). It's come back with good estrogen and progesterone but almost undetectable testosterone: Testosterone: <0.087 (<

Late period after starting Levothyroxine
Has anyone had a delayed period after starting Levothyroxine? If so when do they normalise and return and is this a common side effect? Thanks!

Differing TSH results
Hello Firstly, thank you for all the useful information and advice. I started taking 50mcg of levothyroxine in June and had a follow up blood test at the end of August which showed my TSH was 2.54 (0.27 - 4.2). The GP did not increase my dosage of thyroxine and I did not have the energy to push for

Increasing Levothyroxine is not always the answer, it is important to understand all other influencing factors and if T4 is being converted to T3. Izabella Wentz book Hashimoto Protocol is a very comprehensive guide to it all. And finding an Endocrinologist who understands. Youtube Sten Ekberg also helped

Eating & taking levothyroxine
Hi everyone I stupidly brought an empty packet of levothyroxine away with me for the weekend so have called 111 and arranging for an emergency prescription tomorrow morning. The pharmacy opens at 9am so am aiming to get there sharpish. What would folks do about breakfast? I normally take it at 7am

Feel worse on 100mcg Levothyroxine. I felt better on 75mcg. I’m not over medicated. Is this thyroid gland suppression?
I’ve been taking 100mcg now for around 5/6 weeks but i feel worse now than when I was on 75mcg. I’m due to retest in a few weeks. I’ve been trying to figure out why I feel worse. My lastTSH on 75mcg was 0.3 and my T3 was 52% through the range. So I know I’m not over-medicated and 100mcg has probably

Blood results
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2015. I was treated with 50 micrograms of levothyroxine daily until this March when my Tsh finally crept above the Normal range.(0.55- 4.78). My dose was raised to 75 micrograms. At my 6 month checkup my Tsh had dropped from 4.91 to 0.38. Thanks to the information

what to do??
I am really struggling, I am wondering if I have hashimotos. Diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in march ( the day my dad died) just 6 months after losing my mother in law. Had gone to the drs thinking my HRT needed tweaking for my perimenopause symptoms. (Hair loss, brittle nails, weight gain, sweating

Minimum time on levothyroxine dose before testing levels
What is the minimum time someone should be on a dose of levothyroxine before checking thyroid levels? NHS GP suggests 8 weeks. I had a TSH of 48.2 and FT4 3.9 and started levothyroxine 50mcg daily. I saw a private Endo who said to titrate up to 75mcg for 1 week and then go to 100mcg. I had been on 100mcg
