After 25 years on Thyroxine, blood results are now odd!
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 25 years ago and have been of thyroxine ever since. The TSH and T4 test were more or less in sync up to about a year ago. I am now getting high TSH (12.9miu/L) and my T4 is near the top of the limit at 19.4pmol/L. I was taking 150mg of thyroxine for many years

TSH & FT4 Levels
As a rule of thumb, should I aim to keep my TSH as low as possible and my FT4 as high as possible within the acceptable parameters ?

T3 fallen
I have my private Endo appt next month. Did my MMH blood test last week but as I bought the pack 5 months ago I wondered if there could be a problem with the results. My previous blood test in Feb after starting T3 just before Christmas showed my T3 had risen to 5.9 (3.1-6.8) from 3.9 and my hypo symptoms

Can I justify Armour?
Without the GP's knowledge (and after advise on here) I came off Armour for a month in order to falsify my results so that the GP would stop getting so upset about my suppressed TSH in the hope that he would continue to treat me with a combination of T4 and Armour which I've been on for 20 years.

Latest results. Not sure what to do…
Had my annual NHS test yesterday- No T3/T4. TSH only checked: 0.87 (0.38 - 5.33) MMH test from last week: TSH: 0.83 (0.27-4.2) t4:17 (12-22) t3: 3.7(3.1-6.8) **Both tests were done as per forum protocol. GP increased my levo to 100mcg at the end of April 2024, but I decided to go low/slow

Hair loss, and other symptoms
Hi there, I’m a 48 year old female, with some concerning symptoms. Extreme hair loss, tiredness, depression to name a few. Blood tests came back with 2.14 TSH, 13.1 plasma free T4 level. Is this enough to cause these symptoms?

I slept from 1 pm until 4 yesterday, unheard of for me, I am 64 and normally very active. I also have very

Help with blood results please
My Daughter has just had some blood results and I would be grateful if you could advise on them. I know I should be able to help having had a TT nearly 20 years ago and I have previously received invaluable help from members. But my cognitive abilities have declined and I cannot even remember how to

Monitor my Health results , or lack of them!
Wonder if anyone else has had this ( or got prof.expertise to advise), did the Full Health Screen blood test from the NHS lab so I’d be well equipped to have phone appointment with GP next week re. Thyroid and vit/ min levels, and they only did 2 tests ( HbA1c and cholesterol) others said ‘not enough

Stress and Anxiety
Hello I have been feeling very anxious and stressed last 3 months; I started a new job 6 months ago so lots to learn and very busy, but don’t think it is causing me the heart racing anxiety I have been feeling (which I have never experienced before). I take 75 mg Levothyroxine and was due to do test

CHRONIC INSOMNIA
My last test results from May 2024 below. I’m supplementing iron, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, b12 injections, selenium, zinc, just started B complex (first time in years). I use melatonin & magnesium glycinate at the elusive bed time. I should be mid to optimal in vitamin levels. In June 2024 I increased

guys I am seeking advice. after having my children in 2013 and 2015 I have never been the same person. I have suffered with every single symptom of hypothyroidism. in the end i actually went hyper for a few years which other than the hair loss and lack of sleep I thought I’d become well again. Well
