Delighted to report that after 6 months trying and trialling different levels of Eltroxin, I have at last persuaded the GP to agree to adding t3 back into my prescription. I’m not sure how best to take it though, whether to reduce eltroxin or not. And the GP really didn’t know but gave me 10 Thybon as

Needing advice/suggestions re tweaking NDT
Hello everyone: Hope you’re all doing as well as can be. So, I’m presently taking 90 Erfa + 25 Synthroid, all at once upon waking. I need to make some changes because I’ve lost half the hair on my head, gained 7 lbs and can’t loose the weight, diet has not changed. Been on NDT for the past 2-3 years

LOW TSH WITH STABLE T4
Hello, can anyone tell me whether it matters when your TSH is low? Mine is 0.04 mU/L and T4 is 16.7 pmol/L? My thyroxine has been reduced from 100mg to 87.5 mg and the TSH has increased from 0.03 mU/L to 0.04 mU/L in 6 weeks. I had a bone scan done on the advice of a private doctor and this came

Hemithyroidectomy
Hi everyone, sorry this may be a bit long . . .I had in incidental finding of a 'tumour' in my thyroid after having an MRI for an unrelated issue in July 2023. I had no symptoms at all and could not see or feel any lump/goiter. I was sent to Endocrinology in October 2023 where I had an ultrasound followed

Undetectable TSH
Hi Everyone, I just had my latest blood results which again show that my TSH levels are low. I am currently on 125mg of levothyroxine. I have been recording my results and I really don't understand what I need to do as my next step. Here is a snapshot of my results for last few years for better understanding

Do I need thyroxine?
I have exhaustion and results a bit like someone else but my GP says my thyroid is normal. I saw your post a few weeks ago. I don't want to feel worse.TSH 6.22 (0.27 - 4.2) and I am also worried that I can never stop. FT4 14.5 (12 - 22) FT3 4.7 (3.1 - 6.8) What shall I do?

Help with having Armour Thyroid prescribed on NHS.
Hi, My NHS endocrinologist retired and now the current one won't prescribe Armour Thyroid and so I am having to pay for it privately, which I can't afford to continue to do. Does anyone have the name of an NHS endocrinologist that does prescribe Armour Thyroid to their patients, so I can ask my GP to

Thyroid - updated bloods - advice
Good morning, Just had the attached bloods back from Medichecks and wonder if anyone had any advice before I return to GP to discuss. I took the test at 7:30am after fasting overnight and within one hour of waking. I’ve put columns for previous tests in April and September for comparison. TSH

What causes subclinical hypothyroidism?
My brief history: Diagnosed subclincal last year and have felt persistently awful on all doses of levo (25-75mcg) and 75 pushed my t4 slightly too high. The side effects of it have been debilitating and in many ways I feel worse taking it. 25mcg puts my t4 at around 18 which seemed high for a tiny dose

My drs reduced my levo and now I'm having a mare.
So I've been suffering with swelling and pins and needles recently and my dr has said it must be my thyroid He's reduced levo from 100mcg to 75mcg. My t4 has gone from 13 to 11. The edema is worse now.. However my testerone has gone from normal 0.8... range 0.3-1.9 to 2.5!!! Does anyone know why

Experiences of using HRT after oophorectomy+ hysterectomy
Hello, Would anyone mind sharing their experiences of using HRT after oophorectomy+ hysterectomy? I'm wondering whether to persevere with trying to find something better, or just give up entirely. Thanks 🙂 (I had my op years ago. Took over 2 years to get past the meno symptoms (no HRT). Thought
