Getting results
Sorry if this is a rely dumb question. I had a load of bloods done last week and a trh test, via an endo appointement. I was told that they would call Monday with the results. No one called and my gp surgery doesn't have the results. How do I get the results, I don't really have any way of talking

This recent paper indicates gluten-free diet can be a useful aid for women with Hashimoto's:

TRH test - should I do it? What are the risks?
Hello, I am with a lovely endocrinologist at the moment who is trying to help me with my CFS/ME. In the past I was totally cured by taking armour thyroid, however he doesn't think that I need it. In the past all of my thyroid tests have come back normal, however in the last lot I took your advice and

Irisin as a regulator of bone and glucose metabolism
Just what does any endocrinologist really know about hormones? Do they even know of the existence of half of them? No, of course I am not saying that they should know about things that have not been discovered. But they just might accept that:

TSH and Bone Health
It can be interesting when papers published at the same time are in conflict. Yet again, concentrating on TSH - not on thyroid hormone levels. Of course, this we recognise as it is near-universal. And any review or meta-analysis inevitably uses what is available. Se also this recent post/thread: https

How to treat the elderly with thyroid hormone (T4)?
A new downloadable paper in Frontiers in Thyroid Endocrinology. It still peddles T4 only as the only option. Polypharmacy means taking other drugs as well as T4.

Home blood test kit for Thyrotropin receptor antibodies?
Anyone know of a home blood test kit company that runs the test for Thyrotropin receptor antibodies? I can't seem to find one.

Very sick, recommendations for graves endos please.
Dear all My 65 year old mother is very unwell. She had breast cancer 5years ago, and two years later was diagnosed with Graves (elevated thyrotropin antibodies). Her TSH was 0.001, and T4 was 50. She had a very elevated heart rate, heart palpitations, weight loss, hot flushes, nausea, extreme fatigue

What an amazing day!
Had a follow up appointment today following a brain scan at the end of September. I have a small benign meningioma discovered last May during an MRI scan for Thyroid Eye Disease. Consultant said we would "watch and wait" and that I would have an annual scan, that it was unlikely to grow very quickly

Iron Deficiency May Predict Greater Risk for Hypothyroxinemia: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Pregnant Women in China
One of the parts of the thyroid jigsaw that is most often repeated here is the importance of iron levels. Here, in the context of pregnancy, another paper highlighting the importance of adequate iron. Yet, most of the time, we hear of standard treatment being ferrous sulphate - and the difficulty people
