TSH 5.050 t3 3.45 t4 1.17 These are the results of my 32year old daughter whose doctor is saying she might need meds. What are your thoughts?

NICE CKS guidelines for prescribing statins to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease clearly point at the QRISK3 calculator. The NICE CKS Guideline is here: [i]CVD risk assessment and management: Scenario: Management of people with an estimated risk of 10% or more[/i] [i]Last revised in September

Hi all, My latest thyroid bloods have just been made available and would appreciate some advice on what they might mean in terms of medication and supplementation changes. As my T4 has been too high with sub-optimal T3, there were mixed opinions on whether I should just reduce my T4 or reduce it and

Hi would appreciate if anyone can assist with a reliable T3 source please. Ideally I am looking for tabs that I can split into small doses i.e. 5cmg as extra T3 to take (and titrate slowly upwards) alongside my morning dose of T4/T3.

Posting again as for some reason had no replies last time. Recently had an iron panel and ferritin blood test with following results. Ferritin - 46 (13-150) Iron - 21.6 (6.6-26) Unsaturated iron binding - 21.3 LOW (24.2-70.1) Total iron binding capacity - 43 (41-77) Iron binding saturation

To recap, I finished Prednisolone in January this year. Tiredness and irritability 😖led me to mention these symptoms to my consultant at my routine hospital review. Early morning cortisol test reading in July showed a score of 313-up from 240 in April. To obtain this latest score I carried out an e-consult

Hello all, I’m new here and not sure if I need to pursue some concerns I have with my health so wondered if anyone could possible give me some advice/guidance. I’ve always been tired, (it’s a family joke!), struggled with gut issues (mainly constipation), and in the last 5 or so years had terrible brain

I am currently “dysthyroid” as my gp puts it. Briefly - diagnosed with hypothyroid disease in 2016 (all antibodies negative). Since starting transdermal hrt in Jan my thyroid levels hv plummeted (result posted recently but roughly T4 7.2 (11-22) and T3 2 (3.2-6.8). These results are from when I was taking

1 - What tests do you recommend for before/during IVF? 2 - What tests do you recommend after miscarriage? 3 - Any clinics globally you recommend for testing? (Based in the UK. Travel to Europe is ideal) Tests completed so far (Jun 2024): - Full blood count - APS screening - Laproscopy and dye test

Hello, I’ve been dealing with thyroid issues for about six years. My symptoms started before I turned 20, and only this year have doctors prescribed me 50 mg of levothyroxine. I know it can take a long time to notice a difference, but I don’t feel like it’s working. The fatigue is the worst part. Even

Afternoon all, After switching to Levo, as I increased doses, my FT3 has stayed about the same, FT4 increased once then stayed the same the last two increases, and TSH has gone down each time... Is this as you would expect? Please note, the dates in the graph above are most recent on the left, to

Hello lovelies, I got diagnosed with Hashimoto's and Graves in 2017 but had resisted treatment and Carbimazole as my thyroid always seemed to bounce back after a few days, weeks or months. However a couple of years ago it took one year for my TSH to increase from 0.005. So on 1st August 2023 I started

Anyone got a good handle on these, please? The reason I ask is that I have had 3 months of increasingly debilitating fatigue. I take T3 only and was on 100mcg, which took me 70% through the range, I have also tried 125mcg which takes me well over the top, but still tiredddddd. I have tested cortisol

Hi there, I’ve just got my thyroid test result back after being on T3 for 2 months. I’m on 75mcg Levothyroxine and 10mcg T3. I took the test 8am in the morning, fasting and no vitamins or supplements for a week prior. I took my last dose of T3 8pm to night before (so 12 hours before the test) and took

hello, I was diagnosed at the end of June with Hyperthyroidism, and subsequently tests confirmed Graves’ disease. I am due to see the consultant end of this month, so will have more bloods done just before. I take Carbimazole and Propranolol and my last bloods indicated that my levels were starting

Is there any reason why I cannot take Levothyroxine at the same time as esomesprazole and Bisoprolol? I KNOW Levo should be taken an hour before anything else but just want to know if anything in these other meds would prevent thyroxine uptake. Thank you.

I'm slightly shocked, yet not surprised at my latest bloods. After 5 months of levo, it seems I've gone from hypo to hyper. Starting late April, I've had 50mcg for 6 weeks, then 75mcg for 6 weeks, then 100mcg for 12 weeks. That takes me to yesterday, when I finally got these results from a blood draw

Having been on a combination T3 plus levo trial for a year, these are my latest results. I am on the trial because my last results indicated I am a poor converter. I was knocked back from taking 100mcg levo to 75mcg by a doctor who doesn't know me when my TSH lowered because I was newly on T3. Of which

Hello everyone, I am a 36-year-old man living without a thyroid since 2018 due to a total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma. These are my current test results after being on 3 grains of NDT (Thyroid S) for 3 months (2 grains in the morning, 1 at 4 pm). Could you please help me understand them?

Hi my GP recently wrote to an endo concerned that my T3s were always low in range but my T4s were always above range and my TSH was always too low. She suggested liothyronine although my HA doesn’t prescribe it. The endo wrote back saying I was hyperthyroid and I needed to reduce my dose. Following
