I don’t have research but a personal story. My daughter who is 23 contracted Covid last summer and I noticed she was really having a tough time. Went to the doctor was on the way to recovery and then rebounded I noticed she lost close to 30 pounds in three weeks. She started feeling better again but

thyroid s source
Hi, I’ve been seeing a functional medicine Dr and she has suggested I try Thyroid S, she also suggested I ask on here if anyone could dm me a reliable source. I’m in the U.K. I see her regularly and have regular labs, I’ve been working with her since 2018 and we’ve tried various doses of Levothyroxine

TPO ab dropped to 'normal' levels
Good Morning all! I'm not here very often these days because largely thanks to the advice and support of the superstars here, my thyroid medication has been under control for a few years now. I hope this is a beacon of hope for those of you still battling through. I take my NHS t4 and I supplement

Coeliac-related thyroid problems
My 15 year old granddaughter has thyroid problems(hypo) associated with her having coeliac disease. Her condition is monitored (TSH is currently 5) and it seems to be a case of "wait and see" and the thyroid may correct itself. I understand this but the symptoms of feeling unwell, low energy etc from

Is it all because of thyroid or separate?
Hello everyone, I was dx with hypothyroidism 7 years ago. Around the same time I was dx with metabolic syndrome and have suffered so bad over the years with statins and recently my cholesterol levels and trigs results are through the roof. I've been on 150mcg levothyroxine for near on 3 yrs now.

Advice on latest results please
I’ve had a bumpy ride over the past 4 years, some of it self-induced by being impatient. When I started testing my thyroid everything was low inc tsh and cortisol, in retrospect I suppose my body was just trying to survive on drippings. I was never sure I had a thyroid problem as my tsh was always

Thyroid patients suffering
Not sure if this has article has been flagged before, but I found it interesting. I was surprised that they estimate thyroid problems affect 1 in 20 and still we struggle to get any help. https://www.abdn.ac.uk/news/17040/

T3 looks low to me! I have a goitre....help please.
I'm waiting for and Ultrasound scan for goitre. I had to push for T3/T4 blood test after gp took TSH and was then fixated on high cholesterol levels. I did some research and found that cholesterol levels were raised with thyroid problems and said I would not take Statins until thyroid sorted out.

Avoid prescribing desiccated (natural) thyroid extract
The NHS England Specialist Pharmacy Service advice re desiccated thyroid has been updated. Doesn't make much difference! But in case you are interested or need to know, it is linked below. Note that it does NOT say desiccated thyroid
cannot
prescribed. It still contains this bizarre sentence

t3 Monotherapy
Hello everyone, I have been a reader of the forum for a while now and it is nice to know so many other people are struggling with un-resolved thyroid problems. This forum was the first place where I thought wow, these guys get it. I have hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome, I was diagnosed with MS

Thyroid Receptor Ab
Hi Just had an additional test back the endo requested ahead of initial apt. Thyroid Receptor Ab (TRAb?) which was middle range at < 1.5 iu/l. (Range:0 - 3.3 iu/l) Is this a Graves disease test? Otherwise High TSH, positive TPO, low nutrients. And inflammation markers up. Just wondered if this TRAb

Private test results
My results from private appt . Doctor recommends starting levothyroxine 75mg and retest in 8 weeks. Would have liked to prescribe t3 but due to my history of graves disease decided levo was worth a trial. Any experience with levo or T3 from former graves patients would be helpful to know. Latest bloods

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

Low t3 with high t4, graves.
I'm not sure what's happening. I've had one episode of toxic nodule hyperthyroidism back in 2015, hemithyroidectomy in 2018. Then I got graves (unrelated apparently) in 2022. My t4 was 63, my t3 was 30! so was on carb until June 2023. I've not been on any meds since. Following my thyroid through private

Subclinical hypothyroidism and IVF
Hi, We’ve had 1 round of IVF/ICSI which we were referred for due to my partner’s low sperm count. Our first embryo transfer was unsuccessful but we have another one frozen. The clinic asked me to get my Vit D and thyroid levels tested by the GP before FET. I asked the GP for a print out of the results

Many Nodules on your thyroid? under/over?
Hi there, Sorry for the posts but my endo is basically no help at all!!! This is only place I can get any answers. I am still waiting on a result for my dominate nodule biopsy . which was 1.9in size . In the meantime, I'm just wondering as they said I had quite a few nodules on my thyroid

as the wife of the above, does anyone think that his thyroid hormones are low enough to benefit from thyroxine? I am able to obtain thyroid hormones privately if necessary. Thank you.
