Blood test results: what to do next plus should I tell my endo?
Thanks everyone for your advice here over the last months. I’ve been on 125mcg Levothyroxine and 10mcg T3 for 7 weeks now (up from 100mcg three days and 125mcg four days) and did this blood test last week, following your protocol: TSH: 0.01 (0.27 - 4.2) FT3: 5.5 (3.1 - 6.8) FT4: 21.6 (12 - 22) Iron

Help with blood results
I recently posted here for advice on whether I need levothyroxine as I have been subclinical for 10 years and now my tsh seems to be creeping up the last few weeks from 4.88 to 5.59 and now 6.15 all in the space of 3/4 weeks. I wonder if it is linked to the introduction of testosterone, I started hrt

moving the goalposts
I don't have the figures but my daughter's normal thyroid levels are dropping year by year. Hypothyroidism is a family problem. I was diagnosed in my early 40s. In spite of this she is not being prescribed a supplement. She says they keep moving the goalposts, so just as she reaches a level which doctors

Changing to bedtime for taking my Levothyroxine
I have seen lots of posts about people taking their Levothyroxine before they go to bed. I am really struggling in the mornings having to wait an hour before eating breakfast or drinking a cup of tea before starting work. It has meant I have been setting my alarm in the morning an hour earlier which

CBD drops for RA pain
I take 100mcg levothyroxine at approx. 6am daily . At 4pm today I took half a pipette of over the counter CBD Oil which had the immediate effect of raising my heartbeat just as I used to experience when at the dentist I received injections for anasthaesia which contained adrenalin .( I now know to

GP note to Endo... I wonder how this will pan out... Update added
I'd received the ominous text after a blood test (which was supposed to be for all the useful vits & mins etc turns out you don't get them if they were within range last year??? 🫤) so just TSH then!... "[i]your blood test is showing that you are still overtreated we shall be contacting your Endo[/i]

when to take T3 if already taking levothyroxine
hi. I’ve just received my T3 (Tiromel) and I’ve been advised that my dose is 5MG daily. I take 50 MG levothyroxine on waking each day. When is best to take the T3? At the same time? Is food/caffeine/other medication to be avoided for a few hours after similar to the levothyroxine? Thanks!

3 monthly blood test.
I had my Levo increased to 75mg in September & have had to wait 3months for a follow up blood test & this is what I got, I would be grateful if someone could have a look at it & let me know if everything looks ok…well I say everything but unfortunately my Gp doesn’t like to test for everything very often

Hypothyroidism and levothyroxine treatment only inadequate?
I had a bad experience on levothyroxine only. I am now on T3 but not optimal yet although much better than I was on the levo.I had to go to hospital appointment regarding my dupuytrens contracture, and the doctor, who was going through my medications list, asked why I wasn't on levothyroxine. I told

Help!
Above are my bloods since diagnosis and as you can see they are all over the place. I felt best on 100/75 Levo and 2 x 5 Lio but my endo has reduced this as my TSH was suppressed. When I say I felt best - I've never felt great, always poor sleep tired, hair and nails a mess and other thyroid symptoms

repeat prescription via NHS app
Today is day 20 of my monthly Levo prescription. I used to order two weeks before running out but the surgery got funny about it and said I can only order a week before running out so I make sure I order on day 20. Using the NHS app to request repeat prescription this morning it failed to go through

Help with results please. Been feeling awful
These are my blood results from last week. I'm 44 and currently take 75mg Levothyroxine and 10mg of Liothyronine every morning and up until a few months ago it seemed to be working well so my endocrinologist wanted to see me every 6 months instead of 3 but the last few months I've been feeling lethargic
