hashimotos food changes
First post looking for guidance. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos many years ago but have arrived very late to all this info. There is a lot of advice about trying dairy free and gluten free. I’m willing to try this to see if it helps me. I feel like I’m really puffy in my face and my eyebrows have big

Lower dose Lower mood😓
Hi I've lowered my dose of Levothyroxine from 125mcg to 100mcg experimenting! As thought I was going into 'hyper' territory. TSH well under 1.0 for quite some time too. However, and I've noticed this before, if I lower my dose, my mood plummets. I just start feeling a bit 'numb' for want of a better

Testing TSH
Just wondering if anyone else has been told after one blood test that their thyroid is stable and won’t retest for a year! I thought when you first started blood tests were meant to be done every 3 months. That TSH through GP was monitored. Quite surprised that they think I’m stable after one blood test

US scan results
Morning all. I have had my scan results back and my GP hasn’t explained anything about my results. Didn’t ask me any questions. Just review repeat scan in 6 months. I questioned calcification, he said small and couldn’t explain anything. Hasn’t offered any blood tests recent TSH is 1.5 and taking 75mcg

Safety of testing 8-12 hrs after last T3
I'm trying to understand the rationale behind testing 24 hrs after last levo and 12 hrs after last T3. I realise it gives a higher TSH and lower T3. My endo asks me to test 4 hours after T3. He has never discussed splitting dose so assume he thinks it will be my full dose (in my case 10mcg). If we

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

TSH level after TT

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
