Hypothyroid - Vit & iron levels
Hello, As recommended by this brilliant group, I have had my vitamin and iron levels tested through medichecks. My results have come back all in range, thankfully, but I know that sometimes ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ isn’t optimum. Would someone be able to look at these please and let me know any thoughts

Skipping levothyroxine
Hi everyone, So I had a blood test arranged for tomorrow Monday at 9am (Blue Horizon Gold Thyroid) so following advice given here I skipped my 100mg dose of Levothyroxine this morning in preparation for the test. I've just been informed very late that it's now going to be Tuesday at 9am. My question

Latest blood tests
Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about getting all my underactive thyroid symptoms back, joint pains, fatigue, anxiety and others. I’d had test results saying my TSH was low, but the dr was saying that it was satisfactory. I managed to speak to another dr and she ordered full blood tests. My results

Is it worth doingan econsult Monday?
The story... Back on March my GP tested my tsh (as part of cfs testing) and it was 1.88. Start of April I caught a virus and then the week after onwards my symptoms gradually were increasing and I missed a few days of work. April 19 (I think it was) I got my tsh, t3 and t4 done via Medichecks.

Flare treatment
Have had a ‘good’ run from 30 to 7mg but been feeling rotten of late. It’s like my steroids, HRT snd Levothyroxine have all suddenly stopped working and my mood has plummeted. Suspect it might be adrenal glands but now have a PMR flare to deal with. I had a dose of cold couple of months ago and some

Forgotten symptoms: Ear popping
When I was becoming hypothyroid (not that I knew it at the time!) and for some considerable time after starting levothyroxine, I’d find driving up or down hills would very often cause my ears to pop. This is, as we all know, a common issue in our lives, especially when flying, in lifts in very tall

New T3 prescription help please
After 3 years my endo finaly prescribed a trial of T3....but, as some have mentioned on here...it seems like they almost set you up to fail. What I mean by this is that I've been on Levo for 25+ years and the Endo has prescribed 12.5mcg twice daily, making it 25mcg a day !!! which (I may be mistaken)

Advice finding thyroid specialist
Hi, my T4 levels have dropped from 20 to 15 since having an increase in Levothyroxine and feeling unwell with hypothyroid symptoms, it's just dismissed by NHS Endochrinologist & docs.

T3 trial continues
Hi there - here are my latest bloods - done fasting with no meds and before 9am - last dose of levo 24 hours before - last dose T3 12 hours before I've worked hard at improving vitamins and minerals - still ferritin is a bit low but currently on a dose of iron tabs from GP so may improve by the end
