Anyone else feel the same?
Each time I have to go through the process of buying NDT I go through a series of emotions.1. Angry that in this day and age I have to buy meds from Thailand 2. That the NHS won't let us have the meds we need 3. The cost if these meds, how will I afford once I've retired 4. The fact the cost is highly

Reassurance about taking T3 during pregnancy
Hi All I’m just looking for some reassurance if anyone else has continued on T3 during pregnancy. When I tested positive my ft4 was 17.5 (12-22) but my ft3 tanked from 4.4 to 3.1(3.1-6.8) and all my hypo symptoms were terrible. (Previous ft4 was17.1 and ft3 4.4 so I was still probably under medicated

Tsh / t4 help
Hi My GP was concerned about my blood results and the effects of my medication still don't seem to be working as I am still very tired and have not lost any of that weight I gain. I am on levo 50mcg and lio T3 30mcg. But my tsh is still really low and if I add more t4 it will drop further. My results

Elevated TSH
My recent blood tests read: TSH 36.7 , freeT3 3.3 and T4 13.7. I was alarmed when I saw my TSH. My GP would recommend increasing the T4 , but it seems ok to me. And when it goes up anywhere past 15, I start to get horrible symptoms. E.G. fast heartrate. I have been seeing a private endo. as I

Ivf loss - due to lack of TSH/ Hypothyroidism monitoring? Any advice appreciated :)
Hello all, very useful & supportive group this! :) thanks in advance for any thoughts.. My partner has hypothyroidism, and takes levothyroxine for it. She had 1st ever IVF transfer (frozen) in November, which became positive but sadly didn’t get past 4 weeks. Out of curiosity, she asked her GP to test

Considering NDT
Hello everyone, It’s been a while since I have posted! I wish I could say it’s because I have been doing really well on my thyroid journey. I have been very unwell, picking up infections and having allergic reactions to antibiotics that left me with swelling around my eye and now a really ‘nice’ scar

Help with lab results.
My most recent lab results are posted above. I had my endocrinologist add the additional tests that were recommended. Can someone please read my results and let me know what you think. Note, I was taking 75 mcg of levothyroxine earlier this year and after my March labs my doctor bumped it up to 88 mcg

Update following long-awaited GP appointment for results of Thyroid blood test
Following my last post, I have finally had my GP appointment. I thought it was solely to discuss my annual Thyroid blood test but it seems they had also tested for cholesterol. Had a long lecture about high LDL and the risk. I explained that I couldn't really do any more to improve it as I already

Recently diagnosed
Hello lovely people. I’ve been reading posts for a few weeks now, having discovered this amazing site. I was diagnosed a month ago and have been taking Levothyroxine 50mcg for 3 weeks. I’ve put all my blood results on my bio and am thinking I probably should have put them on a post? Anyway, basically

Timing for test
I’m hoping to do my Medichecks test in the morning. It will be about 12 months since my last Advanced Thyroid Test. I have switched my meds to bedtime and I find this helps. However, this means it will be about 32 hours after last levo dose. Is this acceptable or will it throw the readings too far out

Blood Pressure experience and views sought
Hi allI have been feeling ropey,v lethargic and a bit slow for a few months now, despite increase in Levothyroxine.

Dr’s appointment this morning to discuss dose increase for my daughter, ‘urgent’ help required 🙏
Good morning everyone, My daughter (17, nearly 18) was diagnosed with hypothyroidism is the summer, initially prescribed 25mcg which was obviously inadequate so she requested dose increase which was granted. She’s been on 50mcg since beginning of September, she initially felt an improvement in symptoms

Thyroid lumps
Hi everyone I haven’t posted in a while and hope you are all coping I saw my GP this week as I had unintentionally lost a lot of weight and muscle. My Levothyroxine has already been reduced because they thought I had tipped over into hyperthyroidism. As I explained after 30 odd years of being hypothyroid
