Newbie needs help with Bluehorizon results, please
Hi all I'm new member, and having read some excellent advice, I do hope someone can help me here. I have had a thyroid function blood test from Bluehorizon as I constantly feel tired and washed out both mentally and physically. Some days I really struggle to get going. Weight gain is a problem -

PPI for Acid Reflux and Hypothyroidism
Hi - I've just been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and am on start dose of 25mcg levo.

Advice appreciated
Hello everyone I have recently joined Thyroid UK. I was diagnosed hypothyroid in 2010 and have been maintained on a dose of 150mcg of Levothyroxine. My GP reduced me down to 125 mcg in June 2016 when my TSH result came back as 0.17 (normal range 0.35-3.50mU/L). It was repeated in Dec 2016 and came back

I was also diagnosed folate deficient in

Hypothyroidism and Hypopituitary
About 12 years ago i was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and was gradually treated with 175mcg of Levothyroxine. For about 1 year now i've suffered with memory loss, concentration issues and mood swings to name but a few. The doctor checked my levels and they were fine. They did find that my iron was badly

Feeling warm - new blood tests suggests still hypo, doctor is investigating RA please advice
Since my last post 2 weeks ago, I stopped taking a quarter of a 25 mg liothyronine tablet with my levo (100 mg) which I had been trying for 4 days. I had swollen and achy joints in my hands wrists and feet, and was (and still am, especially at night) feeling hot even though it's quite cold here in Manchester

Hello, I recently had these results back, I'm seeing a GP tomorrow I don't really understand what they mean. I'm also keen to get my vitamins iron etc to a good level that might the help me to feel more normal. To do this would having a blood test through Bluehorzin be the best way to go? At the time

Positive response from GP when I told her I continue to self inject alternate days!
