Endo has given me T3.. What do I need to know?
So after many calls and emails over the last 6 weeks, I got an emergency appt with my endo. 2 months ago he dangled the carrot of "maybe needing to add in T3" but then wrote to me saying my bloods are in range and to review in August. Then he's ignored me. After persistence and many messages, I saw

New Research: Link Between Type D Personality and Hypothyroidism Discovered. Thoughts??
Interesting new study. Full access to the original research can be found below the news article. https://neurosciencenews.com/type-d-personality-hypothyroidism-25888/ Not really sure the purpose of this other than clutching at straws and keeping the prized TSH measurement in focus rather than looking

Hi everyone, After being underdosed on 25mcg of Levothyroxine for almost a decade, my new GP increased my dose to 50mcg around 6 months ago. The increase was done slowly over 6 weeks, as advised by people in this group. I had some blood tests done two days ago and today I got a message from the GP saying

Genetic test positive
In November 2023 my iron labs were increased. Ferritin 117 TSAT 58 my doctor said we would retest in six month and do genetic testing but wasn’t concerned. My results just came in and it showed homogenous for H63D. I haven’t been able to speak with him yet. I am extremely scared.

Suppressed TSH again!
I have an appointment with my endo tomorrow and I have just got a print out of my NHS test results ( only TSH and T4 tested). I followed all recommended protocol for this test which was at 9am. I currently take Levothyroxine (Teva) of 100mcg. I have Hashimotos (diagnosed about 5 years ago) TSH: 0.20

too much aldosterone and afib?
I began my journey with Atrial fibrillation in 2010. Low potassium and high blood pressure was considered to be the instigator. I found out a year ago that I have a tumor on an adrenal gland that is producing too much aldosterone. Too much aldosterone causes low potassium and high blood pressure. I currently

New results after being discharged by endocrinologist.
Hi I will add my previous post but I will also give a quick recap: I first came on with low T4 levels but TSH in range. The doctors did regular tests saying it wasn't being tested properly. I eventually got referred to an endocrinologist. After a while of more testing I was discharged and told that

Is it known for Electromagnetic Field Radiation (EMF) to increase TSH whilst still having normal T4 and T3 levels?
Hi, I know a lot of people say that electromagnetic fields are generally not a risk, but what if someone is exposed to it constantly throughout the day without any fresh air, surrounded by computers and other equipment quite close to your body? Can this increase and play havoc with your TSH number

OK just spoke to gp reception about my T3 being re installed because endo does not want to deal with me! 😠
Hi everyone ❤️ So I've just spoke to gp reception about me calling in to get my T3 prescription, but we're told it had been stopped, this was Friday last week, I explained I had around 4 /5days left. I also explained the endo did not want to deal with me and said she would only prescribe T4, which definitely

Bank Holiday fun (not!)
Evening all, hope those of you in the UK have had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine could have been better… I ended up in A&E on Saturday night with a racing heart (at times around 150bpm) after none of the tricks I’d read about would bring it down below 100. And when they tested my blood pressure

bizarre turnaround
hello! I posted here about a month ago complaining of lots of issues; dry skin, falling out hair etc, irritable, over emotional. My TSH was 0.8 and lower range T3, ok range T4. Since then I’ve lost 5lbs (diet and exercises) started taking vitamin b complex, vitamin d and a general health vitamin

Blood results- T3 levels consistent? Can I improve them?
Hello, Despite feeling overall better for some time I started feeling too regularly worse again. I suspected low T3 (perimenopause also possible). Yep, my T3 is on the lower end of ‘normal’. These are my results: TSH 1.53 mlU/L (norm 0.27-4.2) Free T4 15.6 pmol/L. (12.0-22.0) Free

Long term -confused - Thyroid & pain in neck?
Hi, I'll try and be brief. It's been over 3yrs since I thought I had a thyroid problem. I was fobbed off with antidepressants and it took me years to get off them. I am still having problems and I know it is not just anxiety! I suffer with DPDR - dissociation. I feel spaced out often and disconnected
