Experiences with

Recipharm levothyroxine

Hi thyroid friends I tried every brand going of levo and all resulted in horrific dizziness, fatigue, nausea etc. Local NHS endo left me on no meds at all and refuses to help. TSH hovers around 6ish but T4 is below range and T3 about 4.8. I've got to the point where I can barely get out of bed and the

I have just had bloods completed after four weeks on increase of Levo 75mcg daily plus 10 T3 (from 75/50 alternate days). 24 hours after Levo and 12 hours after T3 as per the protocol and blood test was at 9.00am. TSH 0.12 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2) -3.8% February 0.18 Free T4 (fT4) 14.3

hi I’m 3 months postpartum and had my bloods done at 2 months pp. Tsh <0.01 Ft4 21.4 (11.5-22.7) Ft3 8.3 (3.5-6.5) This was on a letter from the endo that says I’m biochemically hyperthyroid. I’ve got an appointment later in the month but just wondering if anyone has any experience with postpartum

My daughter saw GP with TPO antibodies reading well over 1000. Acknowledged it was through the roof. All he cared about was TSH of 2.94 a, little while back. Also ignoring the crippling debilitating symptoms she has had for a few months. Would not diagnose or prescribe Levothyroxine. I'm fuming. I also

where to start? 18 months ago asked for blood tests due to awful fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, also bmi of 32 even though eat as healthy as possible, exercise by walking as much. After long delays getting tested eventually diagnosed with iron overload having both genes & ferritin of 640, treatment

Officially diagnosed with Hashimotos after two consecutive high TSH results (you were right greygoosemy endo ignored the TPOab positive result!) Prescribed starting dose of Accord Levo 50mcg. Latest blood test 6 weeks later: TSH 2.16 mIU/L (0.3 - 5.0) 39.6% Free T4 (fT4) 9.6 pmol/L (7.0 - 20.00) 20.0%

My liver alt levels? Were 550 ( Sky high!) Now it's within normal range at 4. I'm on Metformin 850 mg X2 a day. On risperidone and aripriprizole and levothyroxine and liothyronine for Hashimotos. I also take TMG, NAC: NAC is a fantastic supplement for reducing fat in the liver. I've also been taking

So I have done a little tweaking with my medication recently. I have had Hashimoto's since 2003 and have been on 100mcg levothyroxine for a long time. I need to run my T4 levels quite high, so I can get a good level of T3. Obviously not ideal, but only this way I can be quite active and function properly

Firstly, I want to repeat Janine159’s very true comment thanking this group for all the help, hope and support it gives 🙏 It’s over 9days since I spoke to a GP about my symptoms, private blood tests and need for pain relief. Still no help. My private results showed T4 as low in range so I probably

Whatbis the difference between the 2 please. Also.my TSH as raised but so has my T4 and Free T4. I heard staring levo can decrease TSH but lower T4 is this not counter productive... TiA

Hi everyone 1. Do I need to stop taking B12 supplements before taking blood for an iron panel test? 2. I am considering trying 100mcg and 50mcg on alternate days rather than cutting tablets in half to facilitate 75mcg per day because the half tablets get messy and it's a faff, but do not want to create

Hi Everybody, I have had the following readings from my last 2 blood tests. Dose 150mg Levothyroxine 20/11/24 TSH <0.01 (0.35 - 4.94) 20/11/24 T3 N/A (2.4 - 6.0) 20/11/24 T4 17.8 (9.0 - 19.1) Dose reduced to 125mg Levothyroxine (asked to re-test 3 months later) 28/03/25 TSH 0.04 (0.34 - 4.94)

Can anyone help me with the iodine question? I've read when hypothyroid you should not supplement iodine and not to eat copious amounts of foods with iodine. I also thought I had heard that a small amount of iodine is in levothyroxine? I'm getting a little confused with what's right or incorrect.

why would THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES keep going up on levothyroxine Recent tests ( medichecks ) show 1090 up from 840 6 months ago is this just because my levothyroxine is too high ?

Hi all, I would appreciate some advice, please I have recent blood results as follows: TSH 5.6 (0.27-4.20) T4 13.1 ( 12-22 ) TPO antibodies 97 ( less than 34 ) My daughter has Hashimotos, has had a thyroidectomy and takes Levothyroxine. I have general symptoms of fatigue, very dry skin

Evening all - please could I have some advice on my latest results? All of a sudden my Frees have leapt up and TSH has dropped right down. I think I need to reduce my Levo a bit and would be grateful for some advice on how to do so - e.g. how much/how quickly to reduce? Any and all advice always welcome

Hi, I'm sorry this is very long, I've put all my bloods at the bottom, for the past year or so in order of most recent ones in the hope it helps explain my complex situation! It's alot, so I apologise but if anyone could help at all I'd be so so grateful please, I'm feeling quite scared eight now to

We keep hearing of doctors who deny that cholesterol levels are linked to hypothyroidism. The comments on forum often say something like “they used to use cholesterol as an indicator of thyroid levels”. However, rarely has this actually been complemented by a link, a quote, of an actual example.
