Fatigue after eating
Husband is getting very sleepy after all meals. His sugar is always below 100 when tested, he takes levothyroxine for low thyroid (waiting for over 2 weeks now on latest blood work and TSH results from PCP. *sigh* He's taking a statin (can't remember the name) and Tamsulosin. Current cancer treatment

Different brands of Liothyroxine
Hi just a quick question. I am one of the fortunates that had an endo willing to prescribe T3. My first prescription was issued by the hospital pharmacy and my second by my local pharmacy… they are two different brands (I haven’t started taking either yet for reasons not related ) I queried this with

Converting dosages
I’m currently taking approximately 100mcg Levo does this equate to 1 grain of NDT? Thanks 🙏

Levothyroxine and arrhythmia
Diagnosed with hypothyroidism in infancy. Been on treatment my entire life. Currently 200mcg levo daily. Last few years been having ectopic heartbeats and arrhythmia. Anybody else had this and is it linked to thyroid hormone treatment?

LT4 and oral contraceptives
I think I am going through perimenopause because of irregular period, dry, irritated eyes and sleepless nights. Symptoms are worse when ovulating and at beginning and end of period. I am on levothyroxine because half of my thyroid has been removed. So symptoms can also be related to or enhanced

New results from GP blood test
So the saga continues. Previously battles with GP over meds, even though I am open and honest about self treating T3 and SI B12, trying my best to impart some knowledge or even a little common sense. Reluctantly reduced Levo a bit, from 150mcg to 125mcg daily. Last bloods 15/12/23, TSH 0.01

Take the sertraline or not?
I’m not doing so well and have nobody to talk to who knows about this stuff. After ongoing problems, the dr has now given me Sertraline. I’m not convinced as I’m sure the whole problem is my thyroid (mentioned before on here, looks like I’m not converting well). I’m seeing a private Endo in three

Hello, I’m still quite new to the group. History of hypothyroid 9 years. Less well controlled symptoms last 18+months. If I’m honest I’ve never felt the same since going through huge stress 5 years ago when my husband was having treatment for a serious illness right after I’d just had our second

OH sudden increase in TSH 14 years after Radioactive iodine treatment
Hi,OH (65) has been feeling really fatigued the last few months, also really feeling the cold. Treated with radioactive iodine 14 years ago and been on 100mg of levothyroxine ever since. He had a prostatectomy last June and we had put the tiredness down to that. A recent blood test has put his TSH

Increase dose or maintain?
hi all, I’m on 75mcg of Levothyroxine for Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto’s. Latest result 1.92 tsh miu/L (range 0.3-5.5) My medication review is on Thursday, originally I thought I’d need to bring my TSH lower to feel well, but I now feel a million times better on 75mcg with no more symptoms

Dry mouth
Hiya people,I have been on 100 m levo for 18 months, underactive, I've realised since I started taking them, I have constantly chewing gum and eating mints, previously wasn't a chewer, but my mouth is dry all of the time, maybe its the acid reflux? I welcome comments or maybe someone can concur?
