MMH latest bloods
Just wondered what members thought of this, on 200mcg Accord Levo. TSH 0.01 range 0.27 to 4.2 FT4 21.2 range 12-22 FT3 5.2 range 3.6-6.8. Does this show poor conversion? I supplement Vitamin D, B12, B complex and folate. I know if my NHS GP sees this he'll reduce dose based on TSH result and I've

Thoughts appreciated on my latest results please.
7 weeks Levothyroxine 100mcg Blood taken 9am, last dose 4am previous morning (is 29 hours ago too long)? FT3 is still low in the range and TSH now below range. I do feel heaps better but still not quite there..

Will being on optimal Levo dose for weight make a big difference in mood etc?
hi all. I was prescribed 100mg (increase of 25mg) after insisting the doctor speak to an endo, who then advised I should be on around 150mcg for my weight. Will a change from 100 to 150 really make that much of a difference? Also, I feel like I’m always bloated and gaining a little weight. I tried

please can someone advise?
I’ve posted here a few times of late, been feeling rough and exhausted since switching from Levo to Erfa 5 weeks ago. I’ve emailed the private doctor to get some advice as to whether the dose is correct she put me on. She’s said my question re doseage isn’t easy to answer and also she charges £20 for

Should I push for a test?

He ordered ENA Antibody test but the result says unknown? ANA Test - Anti-nuclear factor level POSITIVE - Titre > 1:640 ANA PATTERN SPECKLED In the presence

AFIB and Levothyroxine (thyroid) dose.
Just a question for those of you that are hypothyroid and AFIB: Is your dose of thyroid medication less because you have AFIB, currently or in the past? Appreciate your input! Thanks!

When can I expect my resting heart rate to increase on Levo?
I’m on 87.5mcg Levo now but my resting heart rate is still late 40s and I’m not an athlete by any stretch of the imagination. Will it go up when I’m properly medicated? Just curious really as I’ve been expecting it to gradually go up but it hasn’t moved. Thank you.

Airedalelady
I am about to start a course of hydrolyzed marine collagen to help my loss of hair. It is by British Supplements, and the ingredients just list Pangasius Fish. Is this okay to take with Levothyroxine? Someone has told me this would probably contain Iodine, which would not work with thyroid meds. Could

Looking for thoughts on my latest test results
I would appreciate thoughts on my latest test results ....... TSH .062 (.45 - 4.5 ) FT4 1.29 (.82 _ 1.77) Ft3 2.6 (2 _ 4.4) Cortisol 14.9 *6.2 _ 19.4) I have been on 75 mcgs Levo and 12.5 mcgs of T3 for the last 2 months. Do you think that I need to tweak my doses of T4 and T3?

Taking T3 privately
Hi there, After an interesting thread today highlighting I may need to add T3, I was wondering what sort of dose most people start with and what it costs. Do you take it at the same time as Levothyroxine? And can you get a synthetic form? TIA Ellie

T3 only
Hi all, I was just curious, those on T3 only, how did you go about switching to T3 only, what dose do you take and do you feel much better than on levo? This is the only thing I haven't tried other than NDT. Just thinking about it. Thank you.

Iron/folate results advice please
Hi everyone, Posted here before but not for a while. Have been slowly working on improving my thyroid function and iron levels while trying to conceive (I'm 41). After taking high dose iron bisglycinate my iron results are looking much better. Most recent tests was 8 Sept and results are: Serum

Nails!
My nails are really deteriorating, soft, bendy, peeling. They’ve been poor for ages but this is much worse. Nothing topical is helping. I’m on 75 mcgs levothyroxine and my TSH levels are good - and on 0.01 % estriol cream for dryness. Could it be that which is making the difference, although I was

Endocrinologist Recommendation
Hi there, I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid a few years ago. A scan and antibody test confirmed it is hashimoto’s. My Levo has been gradually increased each year and I’m now on 100mcg. Up until recently I’ve felt okay but lately I’ve been feeling really tried and well a bit strange. I had

Problems switching from Levo to Erfa
