Reactive and exercise-induced hypoclycaemia

Underactive thyroid
Hi, my thyroid levels have been up and down recently. I've been on 125mcg and felt fine until the GP decided, after a blood test, to lower the dose. The dosage I need isn't available so I'm now on 100mcg for 5 days and then 112mcg for 2 days. Is this an ok thing to do? Thanks.

Help with blood test results
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos over 40 yrs ago following removal of thyroid gland due to large goitre. Had some blood tests requested by my private Endo and just seen the result of one in particular in my GP app (even tho surgery said they couldn’t carry out the blood tests for private patients!). They

What happens to your thyroid levels
Question of curiosity. If someone is having a seizure and they take bloods for thyroid levels would your labs show a low level of thyroid hormones or would it show a higher level of hormones? I thought I read that if it you fall ill like have a seizure that your levels will drop to protect you???

Any advice appreciated
Good Morning Thank you for allowing me to join the community. Thank you for helping us all. I have been going to my gp for sometime with low thyroid symptoms but they say the blood test is normal. My mother had a parathyroid tumour removed in her forties and my brothers and mother have underactive thyroids

Unbelievable Endo setting the record straight on weight gain …
People often blame the thyroid when they put on weight. Is it usually to blame? That’s one of things that our society overplays. In truth, the weight gain associated with untreated hypothyroidism is generally just a few pounds — we’re not talking 50 or 60. Your thyroid doesn’t make you crave food; it

Thyroid cancer, hot flashes and cold intolerance/shivering?
I haven’t been diagnosed with thyroid cancer but I’ve been unwell for well over a year and my symptoms have got progressively worse. I only just did a post on this few days ago but I wanted to make a new one as I’m curious to see who has had thyroid cancer and found that they had a progressive worsening

Radiation for cancer other than thyroid.
Does radiation treatment for breast cancer affect thyroid medications? Does dose need to be adjusted during or after treatment?

Parathyroid test is high
I've recently had a blood test (yearly bloods) to check my thyroid levels as I have an under active thyroid. My doctor also did my Parathyroid which has shown up as high and he's referred me to an endocrinologist. Does anyone know what this means?

Interesting article about effects of medication on thyroid function in dogs. However, many human studies are referenced too.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10473007/ Although this 2023 paper is about how medications affect thyroid function in dogs, I found much of relevance to humans given within the text body, with good references. I found it an interesting read and the first diagram particularly illuminating

Medichecks advice
Hello, I am planning to do a full thyroid and vitamin test with Medichecks. Firstly, is there a discount for Thyroid UK members please, and if so, how do I get it? Also, I think members of this forum might have some advice on when to do the test. Thank you for your support in advance.

Update after Endo
Good morning, I'm just writing this as an update to anyone who may be interested in my seemingly-odd case... My Endo appointment went well. (Or so I thought but if you're learning from this post, please read the comments!) She believes I have Graves disease, despite the antibodies indicating Hashimotos

hi. Just received these private results. I know I have a goitre and am on carbimazole 5mg x3 a week. Been referred to an endocrinologist. Does it mean that I have to have my thyroid removed if carbimazole has stopped working. I feel exhausted and I have pressure behind my eyes. Thank you.
