Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism: an Analysis of Eleven Randomized Controlled Trials
I have only read this abstract - once, and very quickly - hence no real comments. But patients preferring combination treatment is hardly a surprise. We'd probably prefer out own nicely working thyroid - which would be producing T4 and T3. Wouldn't it? [i]Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroid diagnosis
Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me. I used to be really skinny as a teenager and lived in a sunny country. One day my neck got very swollen and after this repeating a few times I decided to visit a doctor who said I had thyroid issues. I can't remember the diagnosis back then but he said I would

How soon should blood be tested after initial hypothyroidism diagnosis/treatment?
Hello there, I received a diagnosis of hypothyroidism last month on a visit to hospital for a fast heart rate/after bloods were taken. My TSH was 37.5. The hospital started me on 50mg of Levothyroxine and said I should be tested after six weeks. I have today received a text message from my Dr, stating

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

Timings
I know to take Levo on an empty stomach, but how long do you recommend to leave between food and T4? I usually take mine before bedtime (10.30pm), but I run into problems because I like to have the odd glass of wine at night. I assume this will interfere with absorption? What is the latest I can eat

Hi everyone, Firstly, I wanted to mention that I'm trying my best to remain resilient through this rollercoaster of hormonal fluctuations, but I must admit, I do falter at times. Today, I find myself confined to bed, feeling rather overwhelmed. However, knowing that there are others who can relate keeps

Seeking help on latest test results
Hi, I have just had my third set of blood tests done, following an increase to 100mg levothyroxin 8 weeks ago. My results are interesting. My (private) GP had a suspicion after my first lot of results (8 weeks on 50mg levothyroxin) that I may not be converting T4 to T3 well, and I think these results

NHS Testing
Hi - those of use lucky enough to be prescribed T3 on the NHS: Does your endocrinologist test T3 and T4 or just TSH? I know too many just rely on TSH but to the extent that they don’t even test T3 or T4 when you’re on Liothyronine? I had a monitoring test that seems to only have been TSH. I will

adrenaline rush wakes me every morning
I wake up early every morning with a rush of adrenaline..which feels very uncomfortable, it completely prevents me from going back to sleep, and my legs and feet ache and burn, so I end up just getting up early to make it all stop. I have low thyroid and am on 50 mcg. of levo, but still quite tired most

Struggling
My understanding GP left our practice a few months ago. I was asked to have a blood test as an annual medication review. My TSH had climbed from 0.46 to 1.24 (0.4-4.5). I was taking 50mg Levo but was tired, my hair was falling out, I felt cold and my weight had climbed by 5kg. The GP rang to ask me to
