GP only testing TSH now - no longer T3/T4 - concerned!
I am on Thyroxine due to a
partial
Thyroidectomy
years ago. Occasionally in the past the results show my dosage is too high or too low. Got bulgy eyes first thing, fast pulse, yet GP says TSH results OK - 0.72 If the Lab were testing T3 and T4 before there must have been a reason!

Thyroid Blood Test Results
I’ve posted before but my situation is that I had a
partial
thyroidectomy
back in July 2022 and I’ve been getting symptoms such as tiredness, aching, hair loss, loss of appetite , constant overheating and weight gain.

puffy throat
it’s been nearly 6 weeks since Thyroidectomy. My face and throat feel puffy and swollen. Doesn’t hurt. Just uncomfortable when I put chin down.

T3 and cortisol issues?
hello, I could really use some help piecing my mess together. I’ll try to be brief but that may be difficult because there’s a lot to unpack. 2009 thyroidectomy for large goiter and hashimotos Lived comfortably on 150/175 mcgs of Levo until perimenopause. Around that time i developed severe anxiety

anyone help with article that states that it is not alright to prescribe different doses of Liothyronine on alternate days?
I am on T3 and Levo 75mcg. but I feel hypo since I was taken off 10mcg T3 daily and put onto T3 at 10mcg /5mcg on alternate days Has anyone a reference regarding this unorthodox prescribing of T3 in split different doses I can send to him to support my case against this splitting of the T3 like

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?

Ideas please
I had a total thyroidectomy 20 years ago for a massive goitre. I had been taking levothyroxine for 20 years prior to the surgery. The idea being that giving me the meds would stop the goitre growing but it didn't work. My levels have fluctuated over the years but I have never had any symptoms - until

ferritin still low
As mentioned before my ferritin is 13, can’t tolerate any oral form and have had infusions in the past. Am being denied infusion as Full bloods are within range, no idea what to do now, eating plenty of iron rich foods, feeling really unwell and down. Recent test results: B12=651(187-883), vit D=92(

Coming soon to the UK: Thyroid Artery Goiter Embolization (TAE)
Today I spoke to an RFA consultant. He told me that Thyroid Artery Goiter Embolization (TAE) is a new procedure he hopes will be available on the NHS within the next couple of years. Apparently TAE can be used to treat more complex and larger goitres and help further reduce the need for thyroidectomies

Thyroglobulin antibodies
Does anyone know what causes thyroglobulin antibodies to increase after a thyroidectomy? Mine have been fluctuating since my TT 5 years ago. They have just increased from 743 ku/l to 930 ku/l.

No thyroid
Hi, all the posts are about thyroid problems and taking levo for underactive thyroid, I'm taking levo 50mg and 75mg on alternate days. Can anyone tell me if taking tiromel or the unipharma tablets would be any use fo r someone who has had a total thyroidectomy. At the moment I feel as though I'm sleeping

Advice on blood test results
