Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75. I've talked with them twice about this, but they seem to think that since my TSH is in range that any med adjustments may make me have some heart issues. I recently changed

Have taken the plunge full Thyroid test!
Hi After reading many posts on here regarding Thyroid testing I have just received a full Thyroid Function test from Blue Horizon. My Thyroid has not been medicated correctly since I started taking 100mg Levothyroxine 4 yrs ago. Everytime I have a test the parameters seem to change from one test to

Vitamin K Advice
I am running out of K2 capsules. I started with Vitabay drops, then Vitabay Tablets. Both were discontinued, so I moved on to Vegavero capsules. Now they seem to be unavailable. I was told I needed the all trans form (can't remember what that means!). Can anyone recommend anything with not too many

optimal bloods?
Looking at my bloods I think they are near enough spot on? (Any input would be great). However I still feel terrible with severe fatigue & body aches. I am taking vit D, multi vit, iron (heme) and going to restart cortex adrenal. As my cortisol is coming back low. currently on 1 1/4 grain armour

Blood Test Advice
I have a blood test booked for 8.40 next Monday. The form says: FBC, Ferritin, Liver function, Thyroid function, Vitamin D. At the moment I supplement with Vitamins B12, B complex, C, D, K2 and Turmeric, Selenium and Magnesium. I have stopped B complex but is there anything else I should stop before

Ferritin Levels/Hair Loss/Thyroid
Good morning I have started to loose my hair and the doctor is insistent its not a change in my thyroid levels, although my TSH has changed over the last couple of readings. So I was told to have a ferritin test and take vitamin D, I also take B12. Thinking that it would be low hence the hair loss

Latest results and my plan...
Hello I am symptomatic of low B12 and/or Hypothyroidism. GP isn't concerned and advised me to take B12 supplements, but will retest Thyroid in 6 months time. My plan is to raise B12, Ferretin, Foltate, and Vit D to the top 25% of range and then see how I feel and redo TFTs. I am happy to pay
