Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75. I've talked with them twice about this, but they seem to think that since my TSH is in range that any med adjustments may make me have some heart issues. I recently changed

Increase in Armour Thyroid
I need (agreed with Consultant) to increase my NDT by 1/4 grain in the afternoon. By day 3 I start to feel jumpy and revved up! Should I start increase more slowly say every 3rd day then every other day? TSH 0.01 (0.27-4.2) T3 4.0 (3.2. - 6.8) T4 13.0 (12.5 - 22.0) Has anyone else experienced

hi everyone! I am writing because I wanted to see if anybody had similar experiences. I am four months post total thyroidectomy, and in the first month or so I didn’t really feel many or any symptoms. Now in the past two months, I feel like I am feeling more symptoms of hypothyroidism than I did, in

very long story…. Need support.
Since a young age, I have had hyperthyroidism. I was treated with carbimazole for years and in 2021 I had radioactive therapy (a radioactive table) for my thyroid. This ended up killing it and now I am on level thyroxine. When I first got diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I believe my TSH was 60-ISH. Since

Starting medication advice
Hello Long story short, i was diagnosed Hashimoto's 2020, told to wait for TSH to rise before medication. I've been trying to conceive for years so went back to the GP this year when i found out TSH should be below 2.5 for this, not 5. Most recent tests are: 22/02/24: TSH - 5.01 (0.35- 5.50) T4 -

What to ask Endo?
Hi all Sorry this is quite long. I'm looking for some advice about next steps and what to ask my Endo when I see him next week. Background: I spoke to my GP in March 22 because I was exhausted and anxious and people I barely knew were commenting how awful I looked! She ordered a load of tests which

Dr added more T3 and labs show no change, what happened?
Hi everyone, I finally after having Hashis for over 30 years found a great dr when I moved, who is willing to work with me and disregard TSH. She took me off my previous combo of 100 mcg synthroid and 5 mcg cytomel and started me on120 mcg of NP Thyroid back in October. It was a great help

Am I a poor converter?
I've just had my latest blood test results after starting 50mg Levothyroxine 6 weeks ago:TSH 1.65 (0.27-4.2) FT4 15.9 (12-22) 39% through range FT3 3.4 (3.1-6.8) 8% through range FT4:FT3 ratio is therefore 4.7. Just before starting Levothyroxine, my results were: TSH 5.88 FT4 12 FT3 3.44 FT4:FT3

need guidance
I need help. I recently lost my NP that monitored and subscribed my thyroid medication. I don’t have a thyroid. I had it removed in 2002 due to a thyroid nodules that were cancerous. I have taken 120 mg of Armour thyroid for years and a small dose of t3 12mcg. The new prescriber I just saw wants

Advice with Graves Disease
Hi All - I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in June 2023 and prescribed Carbimazole 20mg plus Propranolol 80mg Sustained Release. I have never actually met my endocrinologist owing to NHS strikes, so as a 60yo man I feel pretty alone with this condition as I don't know anyone else who has it. After

Hello from New Zealand
My adult son was diagnosed with hypothyroidism from a routine test after a slight head injury during Covid lockdown. I have not been able to lose weight and so asked my GP for thyroid function test - and sure enough!! So was started on Eltroxin. Lately my usually reasonably well controlled BP went haywire

thyroid and high blood pressure
Hi all So have been struggling to get a GP appointment to discuss my Thyroid meds. After MUCH sulking from me my medication was reduced to 75mcg from 100. Although I managed to hold out for 100 whilst I was on holiday- feel not so good so have been trying to get my meds reinstated. This since end

GP appointment update
I posted a few days ago and sadly had no replies! But anyway I had my GP appointment this morning. Explained everything that's been going on, showed her my test results, and her answer to that was i will probably develop an OVERactive thyroid eventually 🤦🏻♀️ How she came to that conclusion I do

Goitre and Spinal Surgery
Hi. I am awaiting Cervical Spinal Surgery but also have a multinodular enlarged goitre. The spinals team says the goitre needs to come out first before they can get to the discs in my neck. It’s all a waiting game at the minute. I have a very high anaesthesia risk too. Intubation is difficult for

help understanding bloods
Hi, I was put on 75mg of thyroxine one day, 100 mg the next day after the previous blood results. After the latest blood results I’ve been put on to 2 grams of NDT per day Can someone explain the doctors thinking, please. All she said was I wasn’t converting t4 to t3. Thanks
