Painful legs at night
My endo put me on 100mcg of Levothyroxine and 10mcg of T3 twice a day, three weeks ago to help me out of hypothyroidism. I'm also on a cocktail of drugs to help with my anxiety and depression, but there have been no changes with these. Over the past five nights I've been kept awake by experiencing

Hi I’ve just had my thyroid results .. I’m not feeling too good have neuropathy flare 😞 I work NHS and I’ve asked about my results and they seem to think maybe my T3 is a little high for me as this neuropathy started soon after my increase ? I have also got a high ferritin which the GP thinks I shouldn

Update….one year of enlightenment
Hi lovely people. I last posted in February, when I was hoping to increase to 75mcg. Long story short, GP agreed to the increase in March. I had been testing with MMH and watched my TSH creep up and my FT3 & FT4 decrease. Without private testing, I’d still be wading through treacle on 50mcg! So after

Advice on test results before GP appointment
Hello all. Just wanted to say firstly how great it is to finally find somewhere where people can understand how you feel when you have hypothyroidism, and take the time to support you trying to take control of your own health. I was finally diagnosed and started treatment for autoimmune hypothyroidism

Help with results and medication prescribed
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few months ago after some routine private bloods for peri-menopause issues. TPO antibodies result then was >1300. Was advised by private menopause clinic to see private thyroid clinic. Also went to GP who said he would just monitor with yearly bloods as TSH fine. But

A little help to manage some symptoms
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in May 2020. It’s not been a happy ride. I’m on Accord levothyroxine 75/100 mcgs, (although Endo would like to see this reduced to 75 daily because of low TSH result.) TSH 0.18mU/L (0.34-5.6) FT4 11.1pmol/L (7.7-15.1) FT3 5.2pmol/L (4.3-6.8 ) HbA1c 32mmol

Medicheck bloods - some advice please?
Hello everyone, took the suggestion of this wonderful group and got some private bloods done before my next gp review . The online gp stated that my thyroxine dose of 50 mcg were working well for me and vits were excellent. That’s doesn’t really match how I feel day to day although much better than before

What on earth is going on with my T4?
I've just got my latest test results back. I am currently on100mcg levothyroxine which was raised from 75 in June. However my T4 levels have significantly decreased since June despite the rise in levo. My TSH results have also decreased. Can anyone explain what is likely to be going on? I've also had

Confused and seeking wisdom !
I have been living with hypo type symptoms for decades but have been very unwell for the last 10 years. I have long suspected thyroid issues being a part of it. I had a diagnosis of M.E. in 2021 but likely would have had one earlier if I had gone to GP's. I am mostly home bound often bed/sofa bound.

Side effects on combination therapy : thyroxine and T3
I have been on combination therapy for about 7 weeks. I have noticed I am quite breathless and this looks like it can be related but unusual. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Another adjustment
Ok, so my table needed to first :-) not sure how to move it down, but please read below... First, thanks for this great community. I have benefited from lots of wisdom and experience over the past three years. Last year my endo freaked when my TSH was low. I attempted to stand up for myself, but

T4 to T3 conversion
Does T4 to T3 conversion lessen with age? I'm just trying to figure out why I feel 20 years older than my real age. No changes to any meds and supplements and TSH and T4 levels are on a par with where they've been for several years. Ferritin is low but I suspect it's been that way for a long time. I

New T3 prescription help please
After 3 years my endo finaly prescribed a trial of T3....but, as some have mentioned on here...it seems like they almost set you up to fail. What I mean by this is that I've been on Levo for 25+ years and the Endo has prescribed 12.5mcg twice daily, making it 25mcg a day !!! which (I may be mistaken)

RLS and changing meds
I have been on roprinerole xl (2mg and 4 mg) and the regular. Mostly I take the regular one because the insurance companies don't like to pay for the extended release. Right now, I cut a 4mg regular into 4 equal parts. I take two parts at night, so that's a 2 mg at bedtime and 1 and 1 earlier during
