Low TSH levels
Hi, I am hypothyroid and have been taking levothyroxine for about 8 years. Until recently, I have been fine with it and not suffered from fatigue. I take 150mg daily and have done for some time. However, looking back at my blood test results, I have noticed that my TSH levels are rather low and have

Teva medication
I saw the concern about Teva adding mannitol to levothyroxine on this site 5 yrs ago. My new medication from Lloyds direct has been changed to Teva without being informed. I have also recently been informed I have ibs. I am not prepared to accept E-numbers or risk being ill due to the change. Has anyone

Hashimoto advice please
hello, I have had an underactive thyroid and been on Levothyroxine 75mg since 2015. Last November I had a private blood test done as I had been struggling with lots of ‘symptoms’ and wondered if my thyroid could be the cause and it showed I have Hashimoto’s disease which I understand is an autoimmune

GP Levothyroxine review appointment today
Today I had my appointment with the GP to review my Levothyroxine. He introduced himself as the GP that I am registered with not the one I was told I would see. He is Indian and even using the microphone that bluetooths directly into my hearing aids he was very difficult to understand. Several times

Different doses different brands of Levo
Hello everyone. I am hoping for some advice. Following a recent blood test I have now been asked to reduce my Levo. Currently on 75 and now I am reducing to 50 for 2 days a week and maintaining 75 for the rest as I am slightly over medicated. I have been taking Teva 75 and would like to stay with

Jaw clenching + Levothyroxine
Hi all, Apologies for the long post. I'd like some advice please regarding jaw clenching when on Levothyroxine. Does anyone else have this issue? I am currently on 87.5mic Teva levothyroxine. I have asked my pharmacy for a different brand to see if it helps, but they tell me that they can only get

Bone health
I think I’ve asked this but I’m not sure I understood. Please be patient with me. If calcium and therefore also calcium rich foods - dairy obvs but also green leafy veg, soya etc, suppress levothyroxine, what do we do for bone healthy foods?

Recent blood results, help interpreting
Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while, but would like my latest blood results checked with the knowledgable people on here. I've been on a treatment of 125mcg of Levothyroxine and alternating days of 5mcg and 7mcg of liothyronine. I have been feeling better on this dose, and was slightly too highly

Help with results - what would you do?
Hello I finally got a private endo to agree to up my meds from 75mcg levothyroxine to 100 or112.5 if I felt it necessary in July 2023 allowing my TSH to fall below range, and that I understood and was willing to take the risks. My 3 pm slump was dangerous as I was fighting to stay awake on the way

Recent Fibromyalgia Diagnosis
Good Afternoon I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia following a Rhumatologist appt. June 2021 was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism + Hashimoto’s. Although, I have been on Levothyroxine since 2021 this has not helped with my exhaustion and other symptoms. My question is has anyone here been misdiagnosed

Well we're back to the Endo to be told we're trying Stop and Block again.
some may remember my thyroid story as it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm still a regular reader of posts. Tuesday the day all meds are being stopped. I refused the op to remove my thyroid and have it burned out through the great advice in here plus I wasn't keen on having a op at my age either

morning or evening
I have no thyroid and I am on 100ug Levothyroxine. Is it better to take morning or evening before bed. My dr says both are effective.

Should I reduce dose slightly? T3/T4 combination therapy
Hello lovely people. I recently had my bloods done and met with my endocrinologist, and wanted to ask your thoughts. I am currently on 87.5mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily.

I had an under active thyroid, been taking 50mg levothyroxine for 1 yr, 3 blood tests since all show perfect levels but I can’t lose weight.
Even though my blood tests show that I’m on the correct dose of Levothyroxine since having a hemi-thyroidectomy, I cannot shift the pounds, even though I am eating very few calories every day. (Everything that I do eat throughout the day is nutritious, small portions, and I have no junk food or “empty
