GP vs. Endocrinologist
I am under the care/supervision of an endocrinologist. I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid over 20 years ago. My GP is aware and agreed that my endocrinologist takes blood samples and “tweaks” my dose of medicines accordingly. My blood test results from the Endocrinologist on 11 July 2023

marshmallow root
After reading some answers to my previous post on Slippery Elm someone also mentioned marshmallow root so I looked it up. Would you believe it is also said to help with bladder issues. This being music to my ears as still having UTIs (putting this down to my thyroid levels being low and the long slow

I wrote to complain about the thyroid research being carried out in Newcastle and there have been a little flurry of emails with me getting nowhere. Here is what has been written. The article he refers to can be found in THYROID Volume 31, Number 5, 2021 Clinical Outcomes After Discontinuation of Thyroid

Hashimotos, just starting Levothyroxine
Hi all, I have been feeling exhausted and not myself recently and my GP did a raft of tests to see if there were any obvious causes. I tested positive for Thyroid peroxidase antibodies and my TSH was elevated at 4.7, so they retests and it came back 6.3 They've agreed to start me on Levothyroxine

changing from Armour to levo
Hi all I take armour thyroid and have done for over 10 yrs now. I was originally prescribed this by a private doctor but further down the rd I found a way to buy Armour myself so I self medicate. I test my levels regularly (probably every 4-6 months) and I’ve felt in a good place for years. That’s

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

secondary hypo and doctor questioning diagnosis
Hello everyone, I moved to a new GP in the last few years (house move). When I moved, my doctor just continued prescribing levothyroxine because it was on my records and although he wasn't testing T3 he did look at T4 and seemed to listen to me when I explained the levels I needed to be at, in order

Why am I so sleepy?
I’ve been taking levo for around three weeks and have been diagnosed with Hashi’s (though still feeling conflicted as to whether I should be taking it and have I just had a lot of infections recently?) and trying not to be overwhelmed with too much info so apologise if not responded promptly to everyone

Misdiagnosed for 30 years !!!
well, in my last post I told how I had lost over 4 st in 12 months and my GP said it was down to my thyroid. But I couldn’t get an Endo appointment for 4 months. So I decided to see a private Endocrinologist. what he told me shocked me to the core and now I am so confused I don’t know what to do. He

Advice needed...
After being on 125mcg Levo for 25 years it was reduced to 100mch last year as my GP said my blood results were indicating over-medicating. I asked for an Endo referral and he carried out a blood test which showed the following... TSH 7.01 T4 13 T3 3.6 He then advised my GP to increase Levo to 125mcg

Hashimotos and remission
Hi everyone, I'm Luke, brand new to this lovely group. I'm 39. Diagnosed with hashimotos in 2019. Taking levo since then. I have read the Hashimotos protocol by Wentz. It claims that it's possible to manage hashimotos into remission with lifestyle changes in some cases. There are other "functional medicine

Hi all, I’ve not been on here in a very long time as I’ve had a lot of family issues. But I’ve had a lot of health problems of late like tiredness, sleep problems etc. so spoke to a new doctor and she suggested I do some bloods. I was wondering if there was someone who could shine a light on them

Obtaining T3 in the UK
Hi My T4 is high (22.2) and T3 low (4.0). It appears I am a poor converter of T4 to T3 and would benefit from taking T3. I am aware the doctors won’t even test for T3 levels, let alone prescribe it. Can anyone recommend a reliable company that sells T3 or even a way to get prescribed in the UK. In

Strange Result
I recently did my thyroid tests.2.1.24 Monitor My Health taking 87.5 mcg levothyroxine, 12.5 mcg liothyronine for the last 8 weeks. TSH 0.02 mu/L FT3 4.3 pmol/L 32.43% FT4 18.7 pmol/L 67% Based on these results, I decided that I should be able to make a bigger step in my liothyronine to 25 mcg. Typically
