Vitamin d
Currently trying to sort out my health after realising my stomach is not absorbing b12 (am SI). I’ve been on a low dose of d3 (500 ug) for years after being told by doctors it was low. The last d3 test I had my results came back at 68. However, I had taken the supplement that day. Are the test results

UPDATE on Iron and Vitamin D
I just talked to my Doctor and he is putting me on 50,000 1 tablet a week vitamin D and has put me in for Iron infusion. I was surprised he said that I was iron deficient (not Anemic) but this is going in the wrong direction and is getting out of control and I need my iron to be closer to 100 (shocked

Vitamin A - retinol.
Dr. John Campbell posted a video about how low vitamin A (retinol) levels predispose a person to experience pneumonia from the Mycoplasm pneumoniae which is currently at near epidemic levels among children in northern China. No surprise here to be honest considering the severe lockdowns. Children have

Update and latest results
Hello again lovely people. I thought I’d come back and update having been on Levo 50mcg since diagnosis 3 months ago. In early January the GP asked me to retest and only TSH was done (big let down but not unexpected)! I was amazed that after only 2 months on Levo 50mcg that my TSH had dropped to 0.44

Can NDT help with low calcium levels?
Since my total thyroidectomy in April I have been on put on 125 mcg of Levothyroxine and am tolerating it quite well ( no gastro problems like with most tablets and energy levels ok ) except for extreme muscle stiffness and joint pain. Calcium levels tend to be fluctuating between ‘ normal’ and low.

Very rapid weight gain, dose increase
Hi all, I first posted a few weeks ago as a new GP prescribed T3 but didn't tell me to start low and slow so I just started with 20mg of Thybon for 2 weeks and felt horrendous (so exhausted). TiggerMe suggested that my T4 wasn't optimal (neither was Vit D, Folate, Ferritin) so I stopped the T3 and

Bone profile?
Hi, could anyone tell me what the doctor means by bone profile? Recently had tests for B12 deficiency, got a telephone call a few days later asking me to come back in for them to do more tests. Said my bone profile was low, and mentioned something about potentially low vitamin d. Apparently my b12 is

When is best day of my cycle to get Female Hormone Test done if perimenopausal?
Getting a Female Hormone test done to see if my hormones are causing the fatigue rather than the hypothyroidism, as weakness & fatigue has got worse since taking Levothyroxine. The test is to check the main female hormones except projestorone. I was going to get it with Medichecks. When is the best day

Daughter’s results causing confusion - Hashimoto’s AND Graves??
Hi everyone, This post comes with a caveat. I’m sat looking through my daughter’s blood test results from the second part of last year. I’m doing this because she’s off college again with some sort of virus, this follows a week of Covid. I’m ashamed to say that I’m only looking at these results

vitamins to help thyroid
Hello, has anyone got any tips of vitamin complexes to help under active thyroid? I have recently upped my vit d, my B12 and found a complex that says it helps the body convert t4 to t3. I’ve been taking them all about two weeks and I do think that I’m less exhausted than I was. I’m hopeful that it

Test Result Guidance Please 🙏
To the wise oricles and sages in the group, please could you guide me with my Atrophic Autoimmune Thyroiditis. Despite waiting soooo long to get a private test result, I had been preparing myself for "within range" results. (How sad is that?) I know I probably should be happier with the results, but
