Am I being stupid by delaying treatment for mild hyperthyroidism when I don't have any symptons?
I am 72 years old and following on from a diagnosis of thrombosis in my legs in 2021, for which I am taking 10mg of rivaroxaban, the Doctors at my local Surgery arranged for me to have blood tests which indicated hyperthyrodism. It was recommended that I should take daily 5mg of carbimazole but as

Interested in your thoughts
Hi, Would like to know your thoughts on the following: 2 or 3 years or so ago for me pharmacists put on my levothyroxine scripts take 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast or any medication, but prior to this for 29 years I had been taking everything with it be it medication, food, caffeine, vitamins

0.9 saline 1 liter IV infusion.
Last year I asked on the forum if anyone knew where I could get a saline infusion. Come to find out that was heretical and not done in the UK. 🙂 In the USA there are clinics owned and run by nurses where one can get infusions with or without vitamins of your choice. There are also mobile clinics.

T3 only worth another PROPER go?
Okay so I made a post last year about being unable tolerate t3 only but I’m actually wondering if I jumped onto t3 mono too quickly and gave up too fast? (Which many others pointed out but at the time I was so unwell I could barely think straight) Prior to starting T3 only back then I was on a too

Advice on blood results please- why no improvement in T3?
hi everyone, advice welcome for my recent Medichecks test please. I introduced 6.5mcg of T3 in September and took my levo down to 75/100 on alternate days, I hoped this would increase my % of T3 as I am a poor converter and have two copies of faulty DIO2 gene. I also hoped this increase in T3 would

First ever Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Test
Hello lovely folks, I've had my first ever Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Test and would really appreciate your views on next steps. The TSH result would indicate I need to increase levo, also I'm concerned at high CRP and antibodies! Plus I don't think I convert T4 to T3 very well. Your thoughts are very

Thyroid symptoms or Parkinsons, an update to my previous post
A huge thank you to all the people who gave me such good advice! My FT3 is slightly up and my FT4 is slighty down, result! Going in the right direction. My Vitamin D is improving, I will continue to use BetterYou sublingual sprays (D3+K2) for this, and magnesium. My Vitamin B12 hasn't moved much,

Latest blood test advice please I moved to 75mcg after taking bloods but now I’m not sure it’s a good idea.
Hi all I’ve been on 50mcg Levothyroxine now for around 7 weeks ish and I tested Monday privately. I increased my dose to 75mcg thinking I needed it but my TSH has come back as 1.35 which was a bit of a shock I was still expecting it to be in the 3’s. My T4 looks to be at around 50% while my T3 is around

Implantation Tips
Looking for some implantation advice. I got my BFN on the weekend after a positive feeling TWW and a fresh 4ab transfer. I have three Frosties from this round graded 4ab, 4bb and 4bc. I managed to improve my egg quality from a previous unsuccessful round (only 2 3bb blasts transferred both but BFN) last

Timings of NDT and iron supplements

Dear all, A while since I have written. I was struggling for a year or two with colon pain and seemingly uncontrollable IBS-D. I had a colonic MRI scan done which found I had diverticulosis (side-pockets on the colon). I did not have all the symptoms of diverticulitis (inflammation of the pockets

My drs reduced my levo and now I'm having a mare.
So I've been suffering with swelling and pins and needles recently and my dr has said it must be my thyroid He's reduced levo from 100mcg to 75mcg. My t4 has gone from 13 to 11. The edema is worse now.. However my testerone has gone from normal 0.8... range 0.3-1.9 to 2.5!!! Does anyone know why
