The relationship between Tsh and T4
I hope this isn't annoying as I am still trying to learn this and understand better. I understand that for 90% of people with hypothyroidism TSH is a good indicator to use for fine tuning their medication dosage. But then there are the other 10% who can have various other issues getting in the way

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These

I’ve been taking 200mg of thyroxine for most of my adult life. Now the doctors have reduced to 150mg I returned to the doctors to say I felt awful. All my symptoms were returning. So they issued another blood test. They have came back saying my TSH level is too low and reduced my dose even more.

Sporadically fall backwards with no warning
3 weeks into new dose of 100 levothyroxine (on waking) + 2 doses of 7.5 t3 (one on waking and one at 3pm - [built up gradually]).

Graves - blood test
I bit the bullet and have messaged the GP this morning and requested a blood test ... I'll wait and see if they'll allow it. I realised whilst crying AGAIN in the shower this morning that something was very wrong, as I was struggling to get up again this morning, unable to go for my usual walk and crying

Hi, I've posted old blood results, but has anyone heard of Dr Elizabeth Bright? My previous thyroid tests. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 3.31 mU/L (0.27 - 4.2 mU/L) Triiodothyronine (FT3) 3.55 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L) Free Thyroxine (FT4) 14.3 pmol/L (12 - 22 pmol/L) Antibodies were fine

Hashimoto’s or Graves’ symptoms or…? Help to clarify please.
Hi everybody! I’m new here. Would be very grateful for your advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 17 years ago. It was in different country not in the UK. I have never been on medication as I was told if my T4 level is ok I don’t need any pills. I’m now in UK for about 5 years. I’ve never seen endocrinologist

However, I had had my thyroxine before appointment . My question is how will this have affected my results? I had TSH,

So I am in Liverpool, I have asked 4 times over the last 3 or 4 years for a referral nand refused each time. Following on from Sneaky GP saga, GP lying that I consented to reduction in meds in November. I asked for her entry in my notes to be removed as it was incorrect and it has not been. They refuse

Feeling like something stuck in my throat on swallowing - any thoughts please
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing ? I guess it is down to some issue in my thyroid - but there are no visual lumps externally, just this weird sensation on swallowing. It started in March . Three weeks ago I have had annual bloods by GP and as my TSH is suppressed

IGF-1 Blood Test
I have had the results of my IGF-1 blood test. It’s 26.4nmol/L. The endo has said he thinks it’s because I’m over medicated with my thyroid medication. He’s arranged an OGTT. I’m currently on 75mcg T4 and 10mcg T3. I recently lowered the dose from 100mcg/10mcg. I had been on that dose for a long time

Thyroid Specialists and Endocrinologists
Please could someone resend me the list of thyroid specialists. I'm about to get next lot of private blood tests but last one showed poor conversion of T4 to T3. NHS Endo appointment has been moved on to another 6 months time and am really struggling with symptoms. Funds are limited but worried that

is this subclinical hypothyroidism?
Hi, Any guidance would be much appreciated please… this is all new to me. I managed to persuade my GP that I have symptoms of hashimotos and to humour me a TSH test , T4 /T3 and anti TPO blood test was done. However the bloods were done at 10:30am, I’ve been having biotin in my multi vitamin and drank

sigmapharm T3
Has anyone had any issues with this brand? I only ask as the last few scripts have been sigmapharm 20mcg rather than Mercury, and it’s taken me a few months to work through supplies I had until I’ve been using that exclusively. Meantime I’ve had a random “high” and now feeling very low (as posted recently
