Update on swollen eye, low potassium and low BP now hypothyroid issues.
Finally got an emergency blood test yesterday, results today, GP did not ask for potassium which my symptoms were an exact match to low levels! As expected with the high dose of steroids, results all over the place. Liver (Moorfields thought it was the steroids last week), kidneys now and thyroid TSH

GP and TSH
After being parred off by my gp who was stating how tsh works and because my tsh is 0.008, i have too much levothyroxine in my body.He said to reduce my levo to 75mcg.I've currently increased to 125mcg. I'm feeling the best I've been for a long time and really don't want to feel rubbish again. I've left

T3 result advice
I’m asking this for a friend who just got her blood results. Her TSH was below 2 and T4 was high in range which I know is good. I don’t know much about T3 her result for T3 was 4.10 and range is 3.10 to 6.80 so can someone tell me if this is good. She is on levothyroxine only.

I GAVE UP.
I will try and be short about my story. It is a snapshot of events whilst I was on Levothyroxine for more or less 25 yrs. I never felt well and was never referred to an endocrinologist. I gained weight, my hair thinned. I had problems not only with my voice, but swallowing food. I had brain fog, acute

Hypothyroidism and Statins
Diagnosed with hypothyroidism 25+ years ago which has been successfully managed since then (75mcg Levothyroxine.) After many years of resistance to taking statins took the plunge and began medication in the springtime of this year - 20 mg Atorvastatin. All ran smoothly for 3 months with no side-effects

Interpreting results
I'm fairly new to this. I got a Hashimoto's diagnosis at the beginning of the year and started on Levo in January. My TSH wasn't massively high (6.3) but I have symptoms so they agreed but started me on a really low dose of 25mcg. I recently increased to 50mcg and have just had my bloods to review

Is it ethical for GP to withdraw thyroid meds with no notice?
I've been on combination Levo and Armour for 20 years or so and well since 2016 when and NHS endo sorted out the levels and backed NHS prescribing Armour. On Monday the Armour was removed from my repeat script. I moved 2 years ago and the new GP's have written the script because I have the backing

High T4 level
I need help please! I’ve had an inactive thyroid for over 25 years, my age is 57. Over the years I have decreased the thyroxine to 100mg from 175mg. I recently did private blood tests as I’ve been trying to lower my cholesterol. All results were good but my T4 was very high of 20 pmol/L. My TSH was 0.7

Feeling hyper - why?
Below are my results from last week on 2 grains of armour for about 3 weeks, reduced to 1 for about 2 weeks then half for another 2. I reduced because I felt really unwell. I stopped entirely for 4 days and yesterday I took 50mcg of Levo. I feel like I’m on a stimulant. I’m not complaining as up until

Advice needed (again) from you lovely people
Me again. I’m so sorry for the long post, thank you so much if you get to the end. Advice from lovely people on this forum ~7 years ago was great and I can’t thank them enough. I pushed for my GP to investigate further and although she disagreed my B12 was poor (it scraped into the range when the GP
