Now I'm really confused – surprising test results

My picture has been complicated for several years by atrial fibrillation which has the grace at times to run to tachycardia (very

Heart rate after levothyroxine increase
Hello all :) I recently got myself a private endocrinologist appointment after being increasingly frustrated by GPs being dismissive, and not wanting to increase my levothyroxine as my levels were "normal" despite still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I'm so glad I did, because she was very kind, completely

My Endo Consultation Disaster…. No T3 for me.
Hello everyone, feeling like I want to scream into a pillow this morning! I had my private consultation yesterday and not only wouldn’t he prescribe me any T3, he is also going to write to my GP to reduce my Levo prescription!! So it was all a bit of a disaster really. I showed him my Blue Horizon

Lymphatic system/fluid retention
Hi my lab results are 0.26 TSH, 5.6 T3 and 15.1 T4 . I have hashimotos. I seem to have a very sluggish lymphatic system or water retention. My fingers swell and get worse due to heat causing pain. I also get this all over my body and have bulging not pitting type odema at the top of my shins towards

Fatigued with anxiety
Hi, I have hypothyroidism which was diagnosed three years ago and am currently on Levothyroxine 100mg daily. My memory has improved to a more normal level but I wake up every morning barely able to open my eyes and in work I am able to function, but I lack sharpness and feel detached, almost like I am

Perplexing results. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
I was wondering if any one had any thoughts on my results I’m 14 years post RAI and have been on levothyroxine for 8 years and I seem to be very sensitive to dose change. I don’t have thyroid antibodies just a toxic adenoma. They run my T4 higher around 19- 22 for conversion for T3, my consultant

Wondering about something
I know everyone is different so there won't be a precise answer to this. I know when we have a dose increase it takes a few weeks or more to feel the effects. But, I'm wondering how fast medication affects our levels like tsh and t4. Does that take weeks too?

Bottom of T4 range - Graves
Ok - had a mental health crisis over the weekend - not feeling great but kinda sorted myself out. I was waiting for results which get posted and thought I had gone up the scale turns out T4 is 12 (range is 11-23) lowest it's ever been and TSH is 0.20 (range is 0.27-4.5) - they won't test anything else

Extra folate & biotin?
Since 24th April, I’ve taken 50mg levo daily, with BioCare Adreno Complex, Igennus Super B-Complex and separate Igennus B12. It’s early days, but in due course I plan to increase levo to 75mg, then 100mg, if my obliging GP will prescribe it. My question is this: is it safe/advisable/helpful to add in

update and advice please
First of all I want to thank the administrators and everyone who contribute to this forum. I look at it several times a week and so continue to learn about our shared condition from all the contributions. I need to take a bit of a sounding about my next steps – I think I know what I want to do, but

Doctor says T3 is unnecessary
