Low blood pressure and palpitations. Thyroid, low ferritin, something else?
My ongoing investigations into possible thyroid problems continue and thanks to you lovely lot I have a direction to follow with more testing over a period of time to look for patterns. So far normalish TSH with low normal FT4 and FT3 - results below. I’m not diagnosed and don’t take thyroid meds. Feel

Colonoscopy prep and low weight - anyone?
Hello folks, So I’m going to be having a colonoscopy at some point soon (still on waiting list) because of an enlarged liver, high calprotectin and IBD symptoms. I am extremely underweight at 43kg (I’m 5’4”) and extremely nervous about doing the prep for the procedure. My consultant muttered something

How long for ANA/ENA results?
I've had quite a few symptoms of what my GP suspects might be a CTD, spanning back about 10 years but lots more cropping up more recently. She's requested (I think) an ANA test and I understand from googling that if the ANA is positive it then gets sent for ENA testing as well? I'm not sure what the

Ruxolitinib & raised cholesterol
I have been on Ruxolitinib for nearly 9 years now managing my primary myelofibrosis. I have been advised today that I now have a very high cholesterol level of 9.4. We went through my family history and diet but it seems that Rux seems to be the main contributory factor. The sheet does say this is

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

Hypothyroidism help
I had a thyroidectomy in 1984, to remove benign growths. The surgeon said about 25% thyroid remained, but he thought I would not need subsequent medication. I was not told to have regular thyroid function tests, and carried on with my busy life. After unrelated throat surgery in 1997, my consultant asked

Results since taking T3
I've just got my bloods back (protocols as per this forum followed). I am speaking to my endo at the end of Feb and would welcome some guidance please. I added T3 (continued with 75mcg Levo). First 2 weeks 5mcg x3 per day and then 10mcg x3 per day ever since. The first month on T3 was really encouraging

Hyperthyroid symptoms and dosage?
I was diagnosed with borderline hyperthyroidism in 2020 due to a toxic multinodular goitre and started on 5mg Carbimazole which I’ve taken since that time. I’ve never felt that the medication has completely controlled my hyper symptoms and still have bouts of sleeplessness and racing heart. My endocrinologist

Irritability on levo dose increase?
Hello all, I'm about 4 weeks in to a dose increase of levo from 100 to 125mcg. I'm familiar with a surge in 'wired and frantic' energy when I've reached about the 3 week point on a new higher dose in the past. And I had that a few days ago. It had settled. However today I've been increasingly irritable

At a loss and feeling ill
Went to Drs yesterday to request a referal to an endo, as I feel unwell, weak and wobbley - for well over a year now. I told him that I had paid for a private blood test to check my t3 levels, as the Nhs doesn't like doing them that often, and he totally refused to look at them. Said that, if theyre

Subclinical hypothyroidism advice for next appointment
Hi, I was told I was I had Subclinical hypothyroidism in 2017 but was not significant so no further input. Unsure of exact results but TSH was raised, but <10 with normal T4 (but do not have a copy of the results). Past few years have noticed hair loss, muscle aches & pains, tiredness, some weight gain

Accord batch problems
I take 50 mcg of Accord (75/100 dose). I have not been well for a good while and I am not sure if this brand is always optimal. I have had feelings of being quite well and that I have absorbed the hormone, but I query the batches and expiry dates and if this brand or tablet (50 mcg) is substandard.
