How to take Levo before a blood test when I split my dose, and feritin level
Dear friends, I would like advice on how to stagger my Levo before my next blood test on 8th. I normally take my 75mcg tab in two halves,, half in the morning and half in the evening. I started doing this because I found that when I took it in one dose it took a long time to feel the benefit, then I

Hypo and cholesterol advice please
Hello I’m looking for some advice please prior to a GP appt. I’ve had a phone call with the GP and said how tired I’m feeling but I also had raised cholesterol (no numbers GP test). I said this could be due to under medication take Levo 75mg. Was then told I need to pass a risk test for statins. Had

Supplements in 1st trimester extra folic acid
Do you take extra folic acid to the multi vitamin like Pregnacare? Is 400mcg folic acid the minimum daily amount or recommended amount? The reason im asking is Pregnacare is coated tablet, I start feeling bloated immediately after taking it, which isn’t the case for years until now I’m at early pregnancy

New blood test results - help needed before GP appt
Summary of previous issues: I was put on 50 mcg Levo in November 2022 and was refused an increase by two GPs at my practice after a test in January (they said my results were "normal"). Advice from this forum that I was undermedicated. I decided to wait another 8 weeks and then pay for a private test

Low TSH stopping me getting HRT
I am 45 yrs old, & believe I am in perimenopause. I had hormonal blood tests done 6 mths ago, which didn’t show this, but was told that didn’t mean I wasn’t peri as hormones go up & down throughout the day….I decided at that time my symptoms weren’t bad enough to try HRT. I spoke to a doc today as

Vitamin D
Good afternoon, I have been asked by my gp to take an over the counter B vitamin supplement that contains at least 400mcg of folic acid. I managed to buy Thorne Basic B complex with folate but I am finding the tablets difficult to swallow because of their size. Can anyone recommend another brand of vitamin

low tsh but freezing cold
6 weeks ago my levothyroxine was increased to 100mg daily (to 700mg weekly from 500mg). My tsh has fallen to 0.12, (previously 0.9 mid Jan 23 and 1.52 in Sept 22) my serum free t4 has remained the same at 16.9. I don’t have a t3 result. For the last two weeks I have been feeling chilled to the bone
