Experiences with

Pulmonary function test

Hello all, I’m new here and not sure if I need to pursue some concerns I have with my health so wondered if anyone could possible give me some advice/guidance. I’ve always been tired, (it’s a family joke!), struggled with gut issues (mainly constipation), and in the last 5 or so years had terrible brain

I am currently “dysthyroid” as my gp puts it. Briefly - diagnosed with hypothyroid disease in 2016 (all antibodies negative). Since starting transdermal hrt in Jan my thyroid levels hv plummeted (result posted recently but roughly T4 7.2 (11-22) and T3 2 (3.2-6.8). These results are from when I was taking

Hi there, I’ve just got my thyroid test result back after being on T3 for 2 months. I’m on 75mcg Levothyroxine and 10mcg T3. I took the test 8am in the morning, fasting and no vitamins or supplements for a week prior. I took my last dose of T3 8pm to night before (so 12 hours before the test) and took

1 - What tests do you recommend for before/during IVF? 2 - What tests do you recommend after miscarriage? 3 - Any clinics globally you recommend for testing? (Based in the UK. Travel to Europe is ideal) Tests completed so far (Jun 2024): - Full blood count - APS screening - Laproscopy and dye test

hello, I was diagnosed at the end of June with Hyperthyroidism, and subsequently tests confirmed Graves’ disease. I am due to see the consultant end of this month, so will have more bloods done just before. I take Carbimazole and Propranolol and my last bloods indicated that my levels were starting

Anyone got a good handle on these, please? The reason I ask is that I have had 3 months of increasingly debilitating fatigue. I take T3 only and was on 100mcg, which took me 70% through the range, I have also tried 125mcg which takes me well over the top, but still tiredddddd. I have tested cortisol

Is there any reason why I cannot take Levothyroxine at the same time as esomesprazole and Bisoprolol? I KNOW Levo should be taken an hour before anything else but just want to know if anything in these other meds would prevent thyroxine uptake. Thank you.

I'm slightly shocked, yet not surprised at my latest bloods. After 5 months of levo, it seems I've gone from hypo to hyper. Starting late April, I've had 50mcg for 6 weeks, then 75mcg for 6 weeks, then 100mcg for 12 weeks. That takes me to yesterday, when I finally got these results from a blood draw

Hello everyone, I am a 36-year-old man living without a thyroid since 2018 due to a total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma. These are my current test results after being on 3 grains of NDT (Thyroid S) for 3 months (2 grains in the morning, 1 at 4 pm). Could you please help me understand them?

Having been on a combination T3 plus levo trial for a year, these are my latest results. I am on the trial because my last results indicated I am a poor converter. I was knocked back from taking 100mcg levo to 75mcg by a doctor who doesn't know me when my TSH lowered because I was newly on T3. Of which

Hi my GP recently wrote to an endo concerned that my T3s were always low in range but my T4s were always above range and my TSH was always too low. She suggested liothyronine although my HA doesn’t prescribe it. The endo wrote back saying I was hyperthyroid and I needed to reduce my dose. Following

Hi all, I hope you’re well. I just wanted to give an update as I’ve been a lurker on this forum for a while. Good news is that I’ve finally had a consultation with a Private Thyroid specialist and have paid for more blood tests and a full report and treatment plan and prescription for meds (that my

Hi all, I’m at a loss, in my previous post I had been started on a very low dose of T3 - 2.5mcg x twice daily this was a disaster I could not function with all day headaches and dreadfully low mood and anxiety. My Thyroid doc said I could try increasing the 50mcg T4 to 75, three days in and same

I just finished a diet of 4 weeks where I lost just over 10 pounds. So 3 or 4 days after the diet I had blood work done - These are the changes in 4 weeks since the previous test. White blood count went from 5 down to 2.2 Red blood count went from 3.5 down to 2.9 Hemoglobin down from 131 to

Following a routine ultrasound a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with multiple liver cysts including one large one (15cm). Liver blood tests showed raised ggt and alkaline phosphate. Ayear ago they were 95 and 135 respectively. My GP referred me to a liver specialist who remarked that he sees much

I’m still not out of the woods yet, but I’m happy to see some improvement. Here’s my latest results. The not so good news is d-dimer is still elevated but has come down, cholesterol is the same, but hasn’t got worse, my sex binding globe is still high, I’ve overdosed on vitamin D, and TPO has gone

Hi. I have an appointment with a new NHS Endo on Monday and would appreciate any advice re my latest test results please.I have posted previously about having a total thyroidectomy back in May and waiting for a surgical follow up, which eventually took place two weeks ago. At that visit my surgeon requested

Hi I've just been told I have hyperthyroidism. Tsh 0.1. T4 32.3 and t3 16.5. They have prescribed propranolol 10mg 3 x a day for symptoms. Have been having trembling in legs, increased heart rate and palpitations. I'm waiting to start carbimazole 10mg 2 x a day. My question is how long does this take
