High cholesterol
I have recently signed up the Our Future Health programme. I was invited along for a blood test and a finger prick cholesterol test. The cholesterol result came back as 10.14 and I was told to go to my GP. I had a cholesterol blood test at my doctors surgery in July and it came back as 6.1. I thought

Test results help
In UK my TSH is 0.21 m/U/L. Doc says it's fine but I'm not sleeping & have excess hair loss again. I've seen optimal range for healthy adults at 0.5-1.0 but that in uIU/mL so I'm confused. Is my TSH reading then showing too low or high & do I need to lower my levo meds and or up them? Sorry my memory

Awful test results! What dosage increase should I make?
Hello everyone, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the minute and I don't really know what to do for the best. Hence, I am looking for some help and advice. Reason for my demise, amongst other things, is the following test results which was done via Medichecks. Levo dosage was 50mcg levo on

Avoid prescribing desiccated (natural) thyroid extract
The NHS England Specialist Pharmacy Service advice re desiccated thyroid has been updated. Doesn't make much difference! But in case you are interested or need to know, it is linked below. Note that it does NOT say desiccated thyroid
cannot
prescribed. It still contains this bizarre sentence

Former patients of the late Dr Gordon Skinner
This post has two purposes. First, so that everyone knows about the research itself. Second, so that anyone who does feel strongly can make use of the opt-out. While hoping that few, if any, use this opt-out, it is nonetheless right and proper that each and every former patient knows of this opt-out

Advice on Progress with T3 Trial
I started my T3 trial in July this year. My Endo asked me to reduce my Levothyroxine from 75 to 25mcg and to add 2 x Liothyronine 5mcg. I made changes slowly but was alarmed at dropping to 25mcg T4 so alternated with 50/25, eventually keeping at 50 mcg after an interim Medichecks blood test. I have

Private test results
My results from private appt . Doctor recommends starting levothyroxine 75mg and retest in 8 weeks. Would have liked to prescribe t3 but due to my history of graves disease decided levo was worth a trial. Any experience with levo or T3 from former graves patients would be helpful to know. Latest bloods

Body temperature
Been taking my temperature this week and surprised how low it is - varies from 35.2 to 35.8 but did reach 36.3 one day. Feel confident my Levothyroxine dose is right but wondering if low body temperature is normal with our condition or something else is causing it ?
