Feeling dreadful but doc says results are fine!
Hi there, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid back in July 2020. I was prescribed 25mg levothyroxine which was increased to 50mg after 6 months. Shortly after starting levothyroxine I started getting stiffness in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my hips and groin - the only way I can

Graves Disease, Hyperthyroidism and Supplements
Hi All I used to have a lot of pain in my joints I think is because I was taking a lot of supplements. Supplements taken: vitamin D apple cider tablets turmeric calcium magnesium When I was diagnosed with Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism I stop taking all supplements. The TSH reduced 50%

Hi everyone, so, I have had a telephone call from the pharmacist attached to my GP surgery this morning to discuss my recent blood test results. These bloods did not include thyroid as this was only tested last month and I received the results and all was ok. TSH 0.15/ T4 - 22.00/ T3 - 4.6I feel ok

"Your thyroid's fine"...what do you think?
Hi. I've been told by a GP that my thyroid is fine. I don't think it is. I'd be grateful for your opinions. Like many others here, I'm fed up with Dr.s saying it's my age, the menopause, or there's nothing wrong. Medichecks results: May 23 Thyroglobulin Antibodies: 423.000 kIU/L (Range: <115

Suppression of TSH but low T4/T3 levels whilst taking Levo/Lio Combo
A few years ago, my thyroid results were looking a lot better but NHS GP over the last 2 years has told me to reduce my dosage twice (because of the 'risks' of overtreatment). I'm now on 100mcg levothyroxine (75mcg supplied by GP and topped up by myself) and 25mcg liothyronine (self-sourced). I now don't

advice please
So I live in uk and for a year now my daughter age 14 has had various symptoms which come and go in severity but impact her life when bad. She is under paediatricians who were unconcerned about her low TSH and after discussion with paed with interest in endocrinology they wrote to gp and said no further

Sinus issues & thyroid
Hi, my sinuses have flared up for no reason. I saw this could be linked to the thyroid. Anyone had this? Also, I’m on 50mg of Levothyroxine and just had my blood results back…. TSH 3.31 (that’s all they checked) and I’m told everything is normal and there’s no further action. However I’m not feeling

TSH is 5.2 for FET cycle any help? Or advice?
hi all I'm on a lot of estrogen 5 x a day vaginally and orally and my tsh is elevated. I have repeated this but not holding out hope. My transfer is due to be on Friday so looks like it may be cancelled. Any advice or one who has experienced this? What did the clinic do?
