Can't find proper thyroid medication
Hi all, I've tried almost all thyroid medications under the sun, NDT, T4 only (tirosint, synthroid, euthyrox), T4 + T3, T3 only, NDT + T4. And no matter what I still have lingering symptoms despite all my levels being optimal ( TSH, free T4 and free T3). My vitamins are all optimal as well (vtiamin

Confusing results and Nodule
This is the response from Endocrinologist'. I don’t feel great. I have low energy levels compared to normal, I’m so tired , always cold or temperature sensitive. Reading this response, it doesn’t sound that they plan to offer to medicate me. But the thought of feeling like this indefinitely fills

The Differential Diagnosis of Discrepant Thyroid Function Tests: Insistent Pitfalls & Updated Flow-Chart Based on a Long-Standing Experience
We often see members posting results which, at least initially, are odd and maybe make little sense. This paper recognises and discusses such test results. Quite long and takes some effort to read - but worth it if you are interested. [i]

Could thyroid be causing the issues ?
I have enclosed my daughters ( age 22 ) last thyroid result panel. Her TSH in June last year was over 6 then swung down to under 2 in September but is on the rise again. Her T3/ T4 are always just above minimum. Her father has Hashimoto’s as did her Grandfather and so does her male cousin. Grandad unfortunately

Tongue / Graves disease
Can the thyroid affect the tongue? I was borderline again last time and have a blood test end of Feb due to be discharged if ok but I think as I keep being borderline they're not sure what to do with me. As to whether my body is naturally on borderline as I don't really get many of the symptoms Mild

Leg Pain pt 3
Writing again because one of you lovely people suggested I saw my MRI results for myself. She was right, my doctor said it was wear and tear in the back. Keep taking the painkillers and walk. But I did see the results and it is Grade 1 degenerative spondylolisthesis. He did not suggest physio. But

Association between different water iodine exposures & thyroid cancer: A retrospective study of high water iodine areas in China 2009-20
There are many differences between China and the UK. Including other aspects of water quality/analysis, diet, etc. For example, distribution of selenium in China is very complicated with adjacent areas sometimes have very different selenium intake.Therefore, we simply cannot pick up this paper and apply

Switching from NDT to T3 only - what dose?
Hi, I have been on NDT since 2016, and surely had some relief when starting. Before NDT I really had no life. But as I still have a lot of symptoms (the worse being extreme fatigue), I decided to try to taper off to see if I was over medicated. So this spring I tapered from 2,75 grains to 1,25 grains

I found this interesting as he supported the thyroid care petition, and before that I didn’t even realise that he also had a thyroid problem. I remember also wondering myself about Alzheimers the other year as I didn’t know what was happening to me. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/04

Feeling very unwell - do my blood results explain why? What to do next?
Hi Mid August My NDT was increased from 2.5 to 3 grains. By the last week in September I began to feel what I describe as a 'bit off' , these feelings come and go. My partner had covid , I tested negative a couple of times. I did have a bit of cough and sore throat but that lasted only a couple

Updated diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disorder
Just an update. Unsurprisingly with elevated thyroid antibodies I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disorder. As I currently have some hyper symptoms as well as hypo ones, the private GO who’s diagnosed me very sensibly, imo, wants to test again to ensure she gets the diagnosis and treatment

Ultrasound Results. What type of thyroid issue could this be?
Had an ultrasound on my neck after pain in lower neck and ear pain. Dr advised right side of thyroid is very inflamed and left side shriveled with one nodule and should have further blood tests. Heard nothing so chased after 4 weeks and have been given a telephone call with ENT. I've had two low thyroid

Advice regarding Thyroid levels
Hi Could do with some advice regarding my thyroid test levels. I have Hashimoto's but am not taking thyroid medication due to my TSH levels not being high enough yet. I was diagnosed just over 2 years ago after my health had declined for several years. My GP did however agree to a 25mcg Levothyroxine
