Fibromyalgia or Hypothyroidism?
A friend has recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I have read a lot about that condition being diagnosed when the patient actually has hypothyroidism. Is there a way to rule out Hashi's? I know that an antibody test won't be conclusive unless they are high, because I (and many others) have

TSH RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES RESULTS
Hi, got this test done a week ago and the results are 1.26 IU/L (<1.75) so antibodies are not raised. I was querying Hashimotos or Graves so I assume this rules out Graves but does not confirm Hashimotos? Thanks

Does The Thyroid Affect Potassium Levels?
Hi! A bit of a random question but I’ve recently had some bloods taken by my GP surgery and my potassium levels have come back a little low (3.2 range 3.5-5.3) My TSH is 3.06 (range 0.27-4.20), which I think is a little too high although in range, so it got me thinking if there is a link at all between

Anaemia
I have graves disease but GP only tests TSH levels and T3. When I saw GP due to rapid heartbeat, breathlessness and muscle weakness he did full blood test and said I was anaemic. I take 5mg of carbimazole- could this medication cause anaemia? Is this common in graves? I used to have thyroid blood tests

thyroid antibodies - blood test timing
I’m just wondering if you have any tips for thyroid antibody blood tests… does in need to be first thing and fasting or are the antibodies there all the time? Should I eat things that I know don’t agree with me? I’m not taking supplements or thyroid meds.

Endo is recommending radioactive iodine
At my last endocrinology appointment, it was strongly suggested I have radioactive iodine therapy. I'm not terribly keen, for reasons that many of you here have pointed out. I still don't know for sure that I have Graves'. The endo didn't think it mattered if it was Graves' or not, she would still recommend

Graves and underactive thyroid.
Hello, I was diagnosed with Graves about 8 years ago, eventually the correct number of carbimazole found a good balance. This year my weight has increased I am permanently exhausted, called my G.P. after they consulted the hospital, I was told to reduce my medication by a very small amount for 4 months

How many blood tests to identify under active thyroid.
Hello, I was tested for a possible thyroid problem in March, those results were borderline and due to family history and symptoms I was retested 6 weeks later. That test result said ‘patient is now hypothyroid’ on my notes so I retested last week and the results are now in the normal range. Is that
