Test was 8.15am and last Levo taken 24 hours before. Gp is ringing me next Tues to discuss as its still showing I am over-medicated and

Forgot to take Levo
Hi, I take my 100mcg of Levo at 10pm and I forgot last night. It’s now 9am shall I take it now or miss it and continue tonight? I did search prior and couldn’t find an answer

Glum. Grim. Grumpy.
Had my levothyroxine increased to 75 last Thursday. Crikey on a bikey…feel terrible. All the symptoms that I had before I started levo went away for a while after a few weeks on the 50mcg and then came back so last week the Gp agreed an increase. This weekend it all seems to have ramped up again. Lay

Can being overmedicated cause atrial fibrillation?
Hi can I get some advice please? GP thinks my Levo should be lowered from 125mcg to 100mcg as my TSH is now at 0.097. T3 5.6 and T4 12.9. Was really surprised tested T3, didn't think they did it! Never been offered before, have had to use Medichecks.Had my bloods done 2 months ago ( july 2023) and TSH

Confused. Do I really need Levo?
Hi all, hope you can help/advise. I have had sub-clinical hypothyroidism (diagnosed by TSH level only 😕) for approx 20 years. I was made aware of this and prescribed Levothyroxine only a couple of years ago when my TSH reached 10 (apparently full-blown hypothyroidism). The thing is, my FT 4 has always

Hello
Hi, new here and newly diagnosed this past week. My tsh is 22.9 and I have just started taking levothyroxine. Mostly I am having varying levels of fatigue that seem to be linked to stress or moving too much. Finding it difficult to figure out what amount of activity is right.... as too little also feeds

Must my NHS GP prescribe Levothyroxine?
Hello everyone I just joined yesterday and hope you can help I was diagnosed hypothyroid almost 5 years ago. This was by a private consultant who I saw in desperation after years of being fobbed off by the GP I was with at the time. After my diagnosis, however, my GP played ball and took on my Levothyroxine

T3 advice and suggestions desperately needed.
Hi everyone, I was so grateful to see you all still here. After 25 years of a ME/CFS diagnosis. A hospital endo has just picked up that I have very low T3 just scrapping in at the bottom and a high T4 over-range. I have always felt dreadful on levothyroxine and my final raise of 100 mcg was 4 years

thyroid blood results following almost 3 months on T3
hi everyone, I’ve been on 10 mcg T3 and 50 mcg T4 for almost three months. I asked my GP for a blood test after 9 weeks (just thyroid as I’m taking vitamins and these were ok at last test 9 weeks earlier) I’m hoping you can advise me as I’m wondering if my levothyroxine needs increasing. I would point

Dr appointment
Following on from my blood results posted yesterday, I had a phone appointment today. It was with a doctor I don’t know from another practice, and I hope I never have to consult with her again. First thing she asked was why have I stopped taking my medication?!! I assured her I haven’t (this seems

would I benefit from T3?
hi, currently on 50mcg Levothyroxine but still struggling with fatigue (although I also have PoTS). My latest results are: T4: 16.5 (11.9-21.6) TSH: 0.49 (0.27-4.2) T3: 4.6 (3.9-6.8) would T3 be of any benefit?

Request for help with results please - endo appt pending! Apologies for long post
Hi All. (Just FYI, diagnosed Graves & hyper Jan 21. RAI June 21. Diagnosed hypo Aug 21).It may seem silly to say that until I joined this group, I thought that accepting that "feeling better" is not the same as "feeling well", and I had wrongfully been accepting of the fact that since starting my thyroid

TSH lower but T4 lower too
I have been taking 50mcg Levo daily for the last 2 years for subclinical hypothyroidism. I've recently started feeling really tired and rough again so did some bloods. My TSH has come down from the previous 3 but my T4 is down too. My CRP is raised too and has been for last 2 years around same level.My
