Would be grateful for your thoughts on my blood results before endo apt please, still feeling exhausted and weak. Thank you
Hello, I’ve had an underactive thyroid for 8 years after having my first child, looks like Hashimotos. Currently taking 100mcg levothyroxine and 15mcg liothyronine (10mcg on waking and 5 around 3pm). Also on HRT patches as am mid 40s and perimenopausal. I’m gluten free, have had SIBO in the past.

Help with results and my doctor
HI I've been having challenges with my doctor, who won't listen to me despite some great articles and advice from this group. Back in November my TSH level was 4.83 (range 0.35 to 4.94) and T4 14.0 (range 9 - 19.05). I was on 50mg of levothyroxine for my UAT diagnosed in Sept 23. She refused to listen

Trying to interpret my results
Hi I was wondering if I could ask some advice regarding my latest results. I've just had bloods done so anticipating the usual conversation with my GP about my TSH being too low.... I've screen shot my results since 2015 basically as I've been tracking them as my TSH rarely changes, even with a reduction

T4 in NDT
I wondered if anyone know how the T4 in NDT works. Each grain contains about 38/39 T4 but does it works the same as Levo i.e. taking weeks to work? I am now starting back on NDT with no thyroid and a very low FT3 and I am thinking of adding some T3 to it until the T4 in the grains start to work. I

levothyroxine and antibiotics?
I’m currently taking antibiotics for an infection after having blood test. Should I be taking Levothyroxine at a different time to antibiotics. Not sure if it will affect absorption of thyroxine?

levothyroxine
Diagnosed eight weeks ago underactive thyroid even though I had no symptoms. 25mg given and 12 days later reduced to 12.5 as I was so ill. 4 weeks later I was bedridden, severe headaches and unable to urinate so took myself off them as Surgery would not respond. Informed Surgery what I had done they

What to do?
I have tried to take 100 Levothyroxine but I felt horrible. Would you recommend lowering Levothyroxine to 75 and adding 5 or perhaps 5+5 liothyronine? On 87.5 t4 TSH 0.23(0.4-4.2) Ft3 4.2 (3.5-6.5) Ft4 15 (12-23)

Update with Vit B12 & Folate results
Hi, I posted a little while ago with recent Thyroid results. SlowDragonsuggested I come back with some other results once I had them. I'm not diagnosed with a Thyroid issue as of yet. These results are following an appointment with an NHS Endocrinologist. I didn't think about him taking bloods at

High Cholesterol
Any advice please on my lipid results taken from a finger prick sample when attending an appointment at Our Future Health research programme. They were elevated . Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record LDL unfortunately. It was non-fasting.

Within range bloods - can someone confirm please?
Hi all, After being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation five years ago and an ambiguous NHS blood test showing possible hypothyroid symptoms I decided, as my diet is mostly plant based, to take a vegan multivitamin/mineral including iodine. I had a private thyroid test done a few months later which

Dr. Bianco: video from Thyroid Foundation of Canada
from 9 months ago. Somehow it ended up in my youtube feed this morning. He makes the point that L-thyroxine doesn't always manage to result in good fT3 levels and patients need Liothyronine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlYO_H4Gdc&t=2682s

ft3 and t3 the same thing?
hi is Ft3 the same thing as T3? I think here in Scotland we only measure Tsh and t4, t3 (I think) at a push if requested but hard to get at GP. In England is it Ft3 I’ve seen on posts. That’s why I’m asking if they’re the same measurement. I’d like to know how well I’m converting and if not if I can

I have been on NDT for a few years now-THIROID at first until its supply issues.I got on very well with TR MANN & was very disappointed
