Anaemia query
Is it at all possible to have some form of anaemia, even though blood results dont support that or are inconclusive? I havent felt well now for 4 years and have driven myself to distraction trying to pin down what is going on-convinced myself I was hypothyroid but Im not. Ive just had blood tests again

Unsure about increasing T3
Hi Everyone, I’ve had my appointment with my thyroid specialist today and she wants me to increase my T3 from 15mcg a day to 25mcg a day and keep levo at 100mcg. However I’m really hesitant to do this as last time I increased my T3 (see my original post below) I got my T4 to 6 and felt awful. Plus I

Psoriasis, Vitamin D and Shea Butter
Hello! I wanted to share my recent success with plaque psoriasis. (Backstory alert - skip to last couple of paragraphs for "point"🙃) - I've had psoriasis for several years now. Started with guttate psoriasis about 7 years ago (though at the time, I thought it was just a rash/an allergic reaction).

Rapidly gaining weight.
I've gained a stone in weight all of a sudden, in just over a month with most of it while I've been on a calorie controlled diet the past two weeks and staying well below the calorie limit. Could any of this be down to my thyroid? My latest test results were tsh 2.11 ( 0.5 -4.4 ) and t4 12.1 ( 8.9 -

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT? My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit

Nervous about Reclast
My Endocrinologist just suggested that I have a Reclast infusion for the year. I’m 69 years old and haven’t had to take anything for my osteoporosis since I was diagnosed. He said that I was in the high moderate stages of osteoporosis and that taking a high dosage of Calcium and vitamin D would not

Update on the dreaded G.P appointment…
Just got back from my appointment with the G.p (Copied a bit of history from my last post for reference. ) Well…it was horrible, but to cut a long story short - he agreed on a small increase in levothyroxine from 50mcg to 75mcg. Although it was a long, arduous process, and he made me feel as if I was

I'll apologize now for the rambling. Circa three weeks ago I started having these intermittent electrical-type shooting and now, sometimes, burning, sensations in my feet. On the pain scale it's about a "1." I made it through the first week okay. The weekend after that I had to go to the ER due to high
