Please help me understand advanced thyroid test results
I’m returning here after following advice to get my mum a full thyroid check via medichecks as her GP had dismissed her previously marginal results. She is switching to a new surgery and we are hoping she will be taken more seriously, following these additional test results. I’m hoping someone can

Depression and successful treatment
I'd like to share something that others may be able to relate to. After suffering for many years with different ailments in addition to, or probably related to PA, one thing that many may suffer from is depression. I was given all the usual psychotropic medications with little positive effect. Then

I recently posted here for advice on whether I need levothyroxine as I have been subclinical for 10 years and now my tsh seems to be creeping up the last few weeks from 4.88 to 5.59 and now 6.15 all in the space of 3/4 weeks. I wonder if it is linked to the introduction of testosterone, I started hrt

Possible underactive thyroid?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and would love some advice from people who actually know what they're talking about as I currently feel like I'm being fobbed off by everyone! I am 42 years old, and have struggled with symptoms that I have always considered to be thyroid related but every NHS test came back

TSH level increase after total thyroidectomy(8 years ago)
I am a 28-year-old man (90 kg). I had a total thyroidectomy 8 years ago due to papillary carcinoma.

About me
In the late spring of 2015, I found myself depressed. I sought out a psychologist. I quite liked him, but treatment had no positive effects. I was experiencing strange physical effects at the same time… Things like walking became difficult, my body was stiff, and my sense of smell and taste had diminished
