weight, diet and statins?
currently down to 5mg, generally chugging along ok, still working, but feeling occasional fatigue so assume I’m getting towards my own adrenals firing back up. Unfortunately I’ve put on about 25lbs over the last 15 months or so 😠 so looking to maybe start trying to lose some. About 3-4 years ago

Thyroid test results
I tested out of range high for THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES & THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES. I have been told by a doctor I do not have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as the rest of my thyroid results are in range, however I may develop the thyroiditis in the future. Follow up testing is the plan as other test

Thyroid and antibiotics
I have been prescribed antibiotics but have developed acid reflux since starting them. Is it okay to take lansoprazole short term hopefully? And also, will it affect my thyroxine absorption? I know to leave a two hour gap between thyroxine and medication. Thank you for your help

Good morning you lovely people does anyone have any information surrounding thyroid meds and HRT? Since taking HRT I feel more hypo and my main symptom is a lot of hair loss. GP is trying to help but doesn’t really understand and still only goes by TSH. Do the hormones interfere with each other? I make

Reference ranges
A quick question while you're having your cornflakes ( or fasting for a blood test 😊) if anyone knows the answer: Every day there are posts from people whose TFTs are within the reference range for the lab. And every day there are comments along the lines of 'your TSH / T3 / T4 should be higher [u]

Sense of smell affected?
Just wondering if my fluctuating sense of taste and smell is related to untreated hypothyroidism. I'm bumping along the very bottom of the T4 range on every blood test and have had an abnormal thyroid ultrasound scan. I can go weeks and months with a very poor sense of smell (and taste). On occasions
