How stable should TSH be?
Hi. I have a few things going on that I'm getting checked by the GP, but they keep refusing to check my T4 level so I have gone privately - thanks to advice on this forum. In the meantime, I'm trying to make sense of the data I do have. How widely should TSH vary in someone who has been taking the same

Mercury Pharma Levothyroxine ingredients
Would anyone know if the ingredients of Mercury Pharma’s Levothyroxine have changed at all of the past few years? I’ve been taking 25 mcg for a few years now, always the same brand. I’ve been experiencing severe bloating and heartburn. Doctors can’t find the cause so I’m looking into a potential change

BBC Article : Prescription drugs sold online without robust checks
Whenever I see this type of article - the BBC and others produce these things every couple of years, I think - I start worrying that I'm going to lose access to thyroid hormones on the web. I know this subject came up with the MHRA last year or the year before, but I don't have a link. Link : https:

Pharmacy Shenanigans
I, like many members have a preferred brand of Levo, which is Accord. I've been using a usually excellent independant pharmacy for several years, who on the whole ( with a couple of exceptions) always get me my named brand. So much so they even had a basket with my name on it full of Accord Levo. In

omeprazole and levo
I need a bit of advice please . I am going to have to change my times for taking Levo, I currently take it in the middle of the night, as I have to take Gaviscon directly before going to bed for gerd (I have a hiatus hernia) and first thing in the morning I have to take my Omeprazole. The reason I am

I Had A Phone Call Yesterday.
Basically the doctor who did my thyroid blood test a few weeks ago now says I am taking too much Levo and she wants to lower me from 100 x6 days a week/50 on a Sunday down to 75mcg. every day. She was going to send a new prescription through to Lloyds reflecting 75 as the new dose, so I told her I wanted

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
Hi there! Hoping for some guidance, advice and possibly real life results from some members. I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease this time last year. I had every possible symptom you can imagine. I started on Methimazole almost immediately. My numbers have gotten better but are still not controlled.

Feeling poorly
Evening everyone, I have continued to feel increasingly unwell. Shoulder and neck pain continues and keeps me awake or wakes me up every night now. I sometimes wake up with sweat around my neck and chest. The steroid injection I had 13 days ago helped a bit to decrease the intensity of pain but it hasn

Blood test time - still no better
Hello I'm posting again to get views on my latest blood tests, although I think it's probably same as last time. I just don't get anywhere with my doctor. Last time some of you were saying that I possibly had poor conversion and I think my results this time are showing similar sort of numbers. My doctor

Levothyroxine Dose Raised
Just a follow on from my last post. My Levo has been upped from 50 to 75. Re test in 8 weeks. There was no argument either, just used the GP online system at our surgery, explained my symptoms and then had a message from the pharmacy 😁😁😁

why does our thyroid suddenly become less effective?
I was almost 54 when a blood test told me I had a less effective thyroid and since this time last year I’ve gone from 50mcg to 75 and now up to 100 to see if it can get to the right level. I’ve been a serial dieter for 30 years and have blamed this. My Father had a goitre most of his adult life that

Advice needed - T3 levels
I was diagnosed with sub-clinical underactive thyroid in 2016. My test results were TSH 7.91 (0.27 - 4.2); T4 12.2 (12 - 22); T3 4.4 (3.1 - 6.8) I was started on 25 mcg Levo, which over the years has been titrated up to 112 mcg. I’ve been monitoring levels via private blood tests every 3-6 months

Change in thyroid tests as I taper Prednisone
I am 3.5 years into PMR. Honestly can't remember what my Levothyroxine dose was before I was diagnosed however throughout my battle with PMR I was taking 100mcg. and GP added 5mcg Liothyronine in 2020 as I apparently wasn't converting my T4. I had finally tapered to 5mg of Pred in March 2023 and my

T3 Uni-pharma
Happy New year to all! I have been a member for a few years now although I haven’t posted recently. I have been taking levothyroxine for over ten years and about 3 years ago I starting adding a very small amount of t3 which I self source. My question is, have uni-pharma stop producing t3 all together

Blood tests, T3 and talking to GP
Hi & happy new year, I started a trial of T3 at the end of November (privately sourced) and was planning on testing my bloods in February. It’s still early days but I do feel ‘better’. My GP has called me in for annual blood test next week, a 1.00pm appointment as no early morning ones available.
