getting it off my chest..another Dr.who says my high HR is too much levothyroxine!
Over 4 and half years ago I caught covid for the first time and ended up with high BP/ HR and put ( and left )on 5 hypertensives till this January when finally got a tilt table test and shown to have bad postural hypotension on standing for 8 mins ( accounting for faints), so obviously some BP drugs

Increase injections?
I currently self inject once a week - I started about 3 months ago as I was having lots of pins and needles and burning in my hands, arms and feet. GP agreed to 10 weekly injections and I’ve continued with those without mentioning the self injecting. I always had a really strong reaction one or two days

Hashi's swings?
Hello lovely people! I've seen people here talking about hashi swings. I'm not yet diagnosed or medicated, but I'm just wondering if these swings can cause such big changes in just a few days? I did a medichecks full test, and finally got a test through the NHS after asking the nurse at surgery. The

TSH levels - and no help from clinic
Hi all - I really am a bit stuck and not sure how to proceed and would really appreciate some advice. I undertook a blood test in July with Hertility to check testosterone, AMH etc and was surprised to find my TSH was higher than expected: 2.79mIU/L. The Hertility Dr reviewing the results said I should

How can I help my son?
Much to my dismay it seems my son has inherited autoimmune (no antibodies test done yet, but I think it is) hypothyroidism from me.

Dr. Atkins/low carb diets and hypothyroidism
Hello, I only need to lose 8 pounds, but thought Id try a low carb diet...(MY doctor knows Im doing this)...I dont think low carb works for people with hypothyroid issues, because your thyroid needs carbs to work properly...Dr.Atkins is only 20 carbs a day...There is another low carb diet that is 40

Kidney function and hypothyroidism?
My hypothyroidism was finally acknowledged six weeks ago. I've been on 50mcg daily. I've just had the first blood test since starting treatment. My fT4 has 'risen' from 8.8% to 9.3%. My TSH has dropped below 1 (0.7) for the first time according to blood tests going back to 2007. I'm a bit disappointed

Intro and T3 query
I was diagnosed hypothyroid about 20 years ago with a TSH >100 . I've never felt well. Crushing tiredness and brain fog. A gp this week suggested antidepressants and this has made me quite angry. I was on them for years. She said anxiety causes tiredness. Hmm. It's the other way round. Am getting

Has anyone worked with Functional Thyroid Care?
My GP has withdrawn my 25mcg Levothyroxine he only just prescribed about a month ago on a trial basis because my TSH is fine. The only way I was able to persuade him to let me try 25mcg was I took him printouts from all the thyroid forums I am on and he also is aware that I have been complaining about

Out of range low T4 but normal TSH and T3
Hi all I was on Levothyroxine for sub clinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy. My son is now 4 months and I have been undergoing multiple blood tests to establish what the course of action should now be. My TSH and T3 are within range but my T4 is very low. I will attach results and my ranges to this
