First blood test since changing to NDT.

I started self medication with Natural Desiccated Thyroid in November 2018. I am currently on 1+1/2 at 4.00 am in the morning. I feel good, and my intention

At the moment I've just been upped to 175 levo again (still feel dreadful I'm sure my weight gain isn't helping physically or mentally). I'm trying to eat sensibly but

Food interactions with Hypothyroidism low iodine

Hi, I was wondering if I may possibly have a mild/ beginning stage of Lupus. The test that I will post below was ordered by a Rheumatologist that I was referred to but after reviewing this and my other labs, he has expressed that he doesn’t feel the need to see me. My platelets have been consistently

Can Anyone Recommend A Good Endocrinologist
I have had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis since 1979 - The doctors at that time had me drink radioactive iodine. After a while, they put me on synthetic thyroid meds and they stopped working properly in 2003. They switched me to a combo T3/T4 - amour thyroid. All went well for a while and now I have hypothyroid

Should I be on any medication?
Hi there - I was diagnosed with Hashimotos just over two years ago and have had my thyroid levels checked three times over the past two and a half years. My doctor keeps telling me that I'm fine but I'm wondering whether I should be on any medication? I'm taking a range of vitamins as I was low on Iodine

Cancerous tumour
I went for my post op yesterday, it’s now roughly 3 weeks since total thyroidectomy. The specialist told me they found a tumour ( cancerous) within the thyroid. I was so shocked I didn’t really hear much of what he said after that. He said a cancer support nurse will call me next week. Has anyone else

Help with results
Hi All After much persuasion my gp raised my Levothyroxine dose from 75mcg daily to 100mcg one day 75mcg the next. My TSH has tumbled, T4 near top of scale and T3 crept up a little bit. I still feel under medicated but gp doesn’t want to increase dose so I’m thinking of adding half a grain of privately

How do you deal with ignorant doctors?!
I take NDT and have for the past seven years. I was originally prescribed Armour, then Erfa, but switched to Thai NDT because of the prohibitive cost of prescription NDT. I find Thyroid-S to work much better than both Armour and Erfa at a fraction of the cost. The doctor who put me on NDT has no problems

Regenerus Labs Iodine Testing
Hey I’m thinking of using Regenerus Labs 24 hour urine test to check iodine status. http://regeneruslabs.com/shop/product/urine-iodine-24-hr-nut3-191 Anybody tried this method and could help me interpret the results, their sample report is hard to make sense of, as figures are given as mg rather than

Hi, I haven't been officially diagnosed and am waiting for the Rheumatologist to review my file and results. I am unsure if this is the right group but I joined to learn more from all of you and to share and ask for advice. Little bit about myself, I have Graves disease post RAI as well as high antibodies

Graves disease and a multi-nodular goitre: On low dose carbimazole, but now GP only testing for TSH annually?
Hi In April 2017 the endo consultant discharged me back to my GP (as I didn't want radioactive iodine treatment). As my Graves had recurred when I stopped carbimazole the previous year, the consultant said I needed to take carbimazole for life, with 3 monthly blood tests. Since then I have been on 5mg

Pregnancy and Iodine
Hey, Can anyone tell me whether the British Thyroid Foundation or Thyroid UK currently recommends prenatal vitamins containing iodine for those with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism? I’m aware that Levothyroxine naturally had iodine but is this enough for pregnancy requirements?

Iodine supplement
Hi all, I have recently had a blood test at my GPs which revealed that I have a slightly underactive thyroid: TSH level 5.922, T4 level 10.6. I know iodine is essential for thyroid function so I would like to know if iodine supplements would help, as I have been vegan for a couple of years and having

Significance of TSH
I was diagnosed in 03/17 with hyperthyroidism. I let symptoms go on for years and am paying the consequences. I developed a-fib, mitral valve regurgitation, congestive heart failure and severe osteoporosis. I think that my endocrinologist is good, but I usually see a nurse practitioner or physician's
