Levothyroxine question
sorry to have to write again. When I visited the endo last week she put my prescription up from 100mg to 100mg/125mg on alternate days. I have just been for my prescription and not only did they give me a different brand of 100mg from Teva to Accord but they then gave me Lockhardt for the 25 mg tablet

Help! Thyrogold out of stock!
I’ve just been online to order ThyroGold and the 300mg is out of stock. I have enough left for 10 days and have no idea when stocks will be replenished, although I have messaged Tammy to find out. I have some left over Levo but other than that I have no idea what to do next. Any ideas gratefully

Understanding Thyroid Test Results
This is the first time I have posted on this site. I have had hypothyroidism for 17 years now and had yearly blood tests. I must admit I have never understood what the result has meant other than the GP saying it's satisfactory. My recent test was Serum TSH level 2.14 mu/1. This means nothing to me and

Questions for Endocrinologist
Today is the day, I am finally seeing an endocrinologist. Any suggestions of things to ask? Trying to be optimistic about the appointment but quietly cautious. Below are the questions I have so far: - FT3 measurement to ensure adequate conversion - Pregnancy monitoring and appropriate FT4 and TSH levels

Post-private GP update
Evening. A few people asked me to post an update following on from my visit to a private GP today. Well, it certainly wasn’t what I’d expected, which is to say I hadn’t expected much to happen other than another another blood test being needed and possibly a plan of action. What actually happened

T3/T4/TSH testing after starting T3
I've added T3 about 3 months ago and this is my first test so I want to get it right.I reduced levothyroxine and added 20mcg T3 and am now on (usually) 30mcg with 125mcg. I see levo should be stopped 24hrs pre test and T3 12-25hrs pre test unless peak T3 are required which they arent at the moment. Test
