Feeling symptomatic
Hello, I’ve on 125mcg of levo for about 2 years now and lately started to feel symptomatic again. Had bloods done last week and even though I requested full thyroid bloods they’ve only come back with the TSH which 2.55 (range 0.4-5). I’ve made an appointment with the doctor to discuss and ask for an

Timing of Blood Pressure medications with Levothyroxine.
Hello everyone, I posted a few weeks ago asking for advice of timings of the BP medecine Amlodopine 10mcg. I take 100mcg Levothyroxine every morning and was advised to take the Amlodopine at bed time. I did this for a few weeks but the side effects of this new medication were quite severe. GP decided

Is Accord less well tolerated than Almus?
Hi - I used Activis Levothyroxine for years until it was withdrawn. I get my prescriptions from Boots - they supplied Almus brand when Activis withdrawn and I have been OK on that. But they have started to supply Accord. I haven't started on new prescription yet. Does Accord have different fillers to

test interpretation help please
help with test result interpretation please. retest using monitor my health as I though NHS test might have been affected by taking a multi vit (which I stopped a week before this test). Was overactive and gradually put on 75 levothyroxine. Should I be reducing this amount as now over active? My TPOs

Thyroid medication changes when starting HRT for perimenopause
I have been self medicating with liothyronine and levothyroxine for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days. The provider that prescribed these said that some women need to increase their thyroid

Liothyronine (LT3) prescribing in England: Are cost constraints inhibiting guideline implementation?
Whatever else, this demonstrates beyond any doubt that the cost of the liothyronine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is but a minor part of the price charged to the NHS. I'd argue that the simple fact that the NHS agrees these prices strongly suggests something VERY wrong with medicines procurement.

Frequent injuries when exercising.
I have been hypo for about 10 years, currently on 75mcg levo, and 10mcg lio but drop to 5mcg twice a week, otherwise my heart rate goes up from 60’s to 90’s. TSH 0.01, FT4 16.1, FT3 4.6, both 41% through range. Vit D 85. I find if I do even pilates, ligaments and bursae get easily inflamed. Eg an ankle

Levothyroxine brands
Can anyone advise on a brand of levo for sensitive people. I know what suits one might not suit another! In May 2022 I had my thyroid removed after years being overactive with goitre on Carbimazole. At one point my weight dropped to 50kgs and it took many months before it returned to within normal
