Hair loss - Levothyroxine!!
Hi All, Thanks in advance for any reassurance, but since starting on Levothyroxine I’m really noticing that my hair is falling out much more than usual. Whilst I appreciate this can be a side effect it’s quite unsettling…. I was put on a starting dose of Levothyroxine at 50cmg with a TSH level of 48

Neutropenia/ low neutrophils
I was diagnosed with Neutropenia in 2017 aged 46. Anyone else with neutropenia and thyroid problems? I'm sure I'm hypothyroid. My blood test kit has turned up today, so I will wait until Monday before doing the test and posting it off. My last thyroid tests are below and Greygoose has advised me

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?

High Thyroid Antibodies symptoms
Hi everyone, I am wondering whether having high antibodies can affect one's overall being. After a very bad experience of labyrinthitis in 2022 which led me to an ultrasound investigation when a multi nodular goitre was discovered by an endocrinologist. I was advised then that it was benign and

Suppressed TSH and getting optimum on NDT
I'm being treated by a private thyroid Dr for hypothyroid, I'm on NDT Armour and I've been slowly titrating for 12 months from zero treatment. I couldn't get treatment on the NHS. My latest results show TSH at 0.01. My T4 and T3 are the highest they've ever been and I feel much better than I did last

Getting to the root of my anxiety
I am 57 and I was considered in menopause at 52 years old, however I went through perimenopause for approximately 5-7 years prior. I am in therapy, but it does not seem to be helping. Unfortunately I cannot take any Hormone Replacement Therapy because I had one positive result for a gene that increases

Help Please With Thyroid & Vitamin Results.
Hiya! I'd be most grateful if the wise owls of this forum can shed some light on my results, especially the vitamin tests. I am pretty much constantly symptomatic even though my thyroid results seem pretty optimal for NDT use. I also have early onset menopausal osteoporosis, which is being managed.

Thyroid impact on menstrual cycle
Does anyone know if/how the thyroid impacts the menstrual cycle, eg cycle length (shortened vs lengthened) and flow (heavy vs lighter) depending on your thyroid function status (eg hyper versus hypo)? Are there any research papers on this? I know TSH <2.5 is preference for conception. Just wondering

Advice re blood results and symptoms
Hello, I've been following this forum for a while and this is my first time posting - I'm hoping for some reassurance and guidance.

high TSH and high T4
hi, I’d be grateful for your thoughts on this one. I’ve recently had two blood tests, one on 11th April with a TSH of 8 (abnormal) but T4 of 22 (so still just normal but top of the range). Then another blood test 28th June also with higher TSH of 11 and T4 high but normal at 21. I’ve had Hashimotos

TSH fallen
My gp has just marked my results as 'normal for this patient' but I can see that my TSH has fallen from TSH 1.38 munit/L in Sept 2023 to TSH - 0.30 munit/L June 2024 ST T4 was 9.2 pmol/L in Sept 2023 and now SF T4 -11.90 pmol/L June 2024 should I be concerned about the fall in TSH?

Carbimazole and cramps update
Hi Everyone, I have been on a roller coaster since my last post, hence my relative silence. My mother was seriously ill, I was asked to sign a DNR, then my mother recovered, now I am able to focus on my own issues. Since my last post about my severe cramps, they seem to have subsided since introducing

Progesterone post medicated FET
I'd like to ask all the ladies who conceived after a HRT/medicated FET, how much progesterone pessaries were you on? I'm on 4 x 200mg vaginal capsules so 800mg/day. Wonder if anyone is/was on a lower dosage. Just thinking about reducing to 3 x /day (600mg) having seen the patients' leaflet for Utrogestan

About to start IV Methylprednisone 500mg
Finally, after 9 months, they have diagnosed me with TED, after discounting Myasthenia Gravis, amongst many other things. I am Euthyroid, so my TSH, T4, T3 are in normal range, though my Thyroid Receptor Antibody blood test came back positive (though not that high 2.6). My MRI also implied TED. About

Erfa thyroid blood results confusion
Hi I've been on erfa for a few years now. I am on 3.5 grains. My bloods show up as being under replaced high TSH but when I try to increase my dose I get all the symptoms of being hyperthyroid. Can anyone help me to understand what's going on please? I'm considering switching to a combo of levo and erfa
