NHS Endocrinology appointment with results of NHS T3 tests. Are latest bloods in my favour or will they work against me?
Hi All, I am hoping to have T3 prescribed on the NHS (aren’t we all?!) or at least to have an understanding Endocrinologist. I am also hoping to increase T3 (See * below) My new NHS Endocrinologist I saw last month asked for me to take my morning NHS T4 and self-prescribed T3 as usual, then 2-4hrs

Iron supplementation
Hi I have Hashimoto's - as yet untreated due to fluctuating TSH levels. My symptoms are numerous, and due to low levels of B12 and vitamin D, I am supplementing those. I am gluten Soy and Dairy free. My ferritin has been historically low and the GPs have frequently me prescribed Ferrous Fumarate.

I am in the throws of reading Chris van Tulleken's book Ultra-Processed People. It has been an eye opener. Not that one hasn't been aware of the harms of processed food but perhaps one has been unaware at how extensive it is and also how seemingly malicious for corporate gain? What does come out is

Advice Needed Following Test Results
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 2023 and started on a 50mcg dose of Levothyroxine. In March this year, my GP increased this to 75mcg (50mcg Accord and 25mcg Mercury Pharma). This week I took a private blood test to check my latest thyroid and vitamin status. These are my latest thyroid

Night sweats etc.
I am tapering down from 30mg pred since April 2022 and I am now down to 3mg (4mg alternate days). I am finding I am having a lot of night sweats. Has anyone found else had this problem and if so how long it lasts for? I have to add that I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and didn't know

I have some questions that maybe someone can help me with.
Hi! I have recently had some bloodwork and some new things popped up - and I was wondering if it is lupus related, or something entirely on its own. I am currently on Coumadin (Warfarin) for several pulmonary embolisms, and now my hemoglobin is high and my erythrocytes are high. Also, I am now

Forgive me if I've brought this up before but after my rheumatologist advised me that there are little or no side effects when on 7.5mg prednisolone providing one takes the right precautions - Calcium, Vit D supplements and healthy eating habits e.g. low or no sugar, low or no carbs, etc. I thought I

dose increase?
Good morning I’m looking for a bit of advice about whether I should increase my Levothyroxine dose now, or wait a little while. I currently take 125/137.5 alternate days. I took a test after 6 weeks and have attached a picture of the results. I also had an iron panel done at the same time and, as per

Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

Help interpreting results
Hi, apologies for long post. I’m a 34yo female. I’ve had symptoms that line up with hypothyroid symptoms for years. Had a few tests when my eczema flared up really badly around 12 years ago, which coincides with the time that a lot of the symptoms began. Have had fatigue basically since catching Epstein-Barr

Could you help me make sense of these? 18 months ago my GP lowered my levothyroxine dose on the basis of a suppressed TSH. I got all the symptoms back. I did not have a blood test between Jan 2022 and a fortnight ago. I waited 15 months for this hospital appointment. The consultant wrote to me with

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

Vitamin D and Dementia
Vitamin D is a topic that gets a regular airing on this forum. In the context of CLL, here is a good place to review past posts https://healthunlocked.com/cllsupport/posts/149126536/recent-research-report?responses=149129259 (reply by Lankisterguy). Personally, the idea of dying with CLL just doesn't
