Strange results! Would value opinions.
February 2022 on 125mcg Levo TSH 0.04 (0.27-4.2) FT3 5.22 (3.1-6.8) FT4 19.1 (12-22) January 2024 125 Levo 3mcg Lio TSH 0.0008 (0.27-4.2) FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8) FT4 18.1 (12-22) After about a year adding Lio why has my FT3 lowered ?! Seems very odd. I mean I do feel quite a bit better. Still a slump

Does anyone know of a connection between undermedication and histamine intolerance, or if there are histamines in Armour thyroid?
My histamine intolerance symptoms have gone crazy of late, to the extent I've had to significantly change my diet. Histamine intolerance is something I have suffered with on and off for years, but nothing like it is now. I have 2 theories, namely one I am undermedicated or two Armour may be behind

Hi I posted about initial docs advice and have been on 50mcg levo having both mercury pharma and now accord brands. Repeat blood tests in Dec showed my TSH had gone done but still way above range and T4 has crawled into range. Five weeks later (i'm quite cross not to have managed to talk to anyone

Blood tests
Good morning, I have my results back from a private test I took due to the advice of this lovely group (thank you). I had bloods done with my doctor on 16th Nov (due to feeling terrible and irregular periods) and my tsh level came back at 9.5, they said to come back in 2-3 months for repeat to check

Disappointing phone consult & raised TSH on meds
Been waiting 5 months for a phone appt since getting a letter from my Endo asking me for bloods (Aug last year). I’ve been keen to speak to them as I’ve been feeling rubbish for most of last year. Had a TSH of 5.34 which is massively up for me - usually 1.x, even though I’ve been on lio and Levo for

Feeling Terrible. Latest Results
Hi All, Since early November, things seem to have gone off balance with me. I have been 'parked' on 50mg of Thyroxine, since 2020. I have asked for a rise several times and been refused. Recent surge in symptons are growing in number and affecting me badly now. Lots of muscle and tendon pain all

New Year New Bloods! It's time to titrate! Please help!
I made it to 8 weeks. This feels like a long post - I have both Thyroid and Iron issues to work out... I tried to make it shorter, but did not succeed, so here is a 5 bullet summary first.
TL;DR: Got results I didn't quite expect:
- I only changed a wee bit... + 12.5 on the levo
Changed

Extremely upset
Has anyone ever been told they can't have a levothyroxine increase until their tsh is over a five. I'm currently at a tsh of 1.77 with a range of 0.36 to 3.74. My free t4 is 1.01 Rage is 0.76 to 1.46. Feeling exhausted with the low free t4 but being refused even a boost from 125mcg to 137. Any reasons

Side effects after a dose increase?
Hi, I have been on levothyroxine for around 18 months. To start with, my results were always 'subclinical' with my TSH around 5. I was symptomatic (cold, fatigue, puffy, aches) and prescribed 25 levo which was increased to 50 after 12 weeks. I was left on 50 for around a year and then bumped up to 75

Graves disease symptoms?
Hi there, I'm newly diagnosed (by UK GP) with Graves disease, and am waiting to see an endocrinologist who is supposed to prescribe me carbimazole. I have a question about my symptoms, which are mild but seem more consistent with hypO than hypERthyroidism: My blood test results were: -Free T3: 13.8
