confirmation of graves/hashi
Hi, I have written on here before, but have just had my TRab test back after waiting weeks for it, does this confirm I have graves? But also can or have got hashi as well as have antibodies for that too? I’m confused as does this mean I can go either way? I know my levels aren’t very high at the moment

would I benefit from T3?
hi, currently on 50mcg Levothyroxine but still struggling with fatigue (although I also have PoTS). My latest results are: T4: 16.5 (11.9-21.6) TSH: 0.49 (0.27-4.2) T3: 4.6 (3.9-6.8) would T3 be of any benefit?

"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

Hi All. (Just FYI, diagnosed Graves & hyper Jan 21. RAI June 21. Diagnosed hypo Aug 21).It may seem silly to say that until I joined this group, I thought that accepting that "feeling better" is not the same as "feeling well", and I had wrongfully been accepting of the fact that since starting my thyroid

TSH lower but T4 lower too
I have been taking 50mcg Levo daily for the last 2 years for subclinical hypothyroidism. I've recently started feeling really tired and rough again so did some bloods. My TSH has come down from the previous 3 but my T4 is down too. My CRP is raised too and has been for last 2 years around same level.My

GP Issues Again With Levo Dose Reduction
I am writing once again with regard to my mothers Thyroid situation. This has been going on for many years 🙄 My mother GP/GPs have been slowly reducing her Levo dose for years, saying she is over medicated. They are as usual focusing on her TSH bloods thinking because her TSH is below zero she’s over

Advice on halting bone loss following Dexa and hrt or other supplements.
Thyroid cancer at 23, high dose T4 requiring propranolol for 17 years, then battles over dosage post menopause as rules changed. T3, when measured, always seemed to be at a good level. I didn't take HRT as it was at the height of the cancer scare. I regret it now. Sjogrens and very low vitamin D diagnosed

Throat/Glands Swelling Question
Hi All, Ever since my thyroid went out of balance, for the first time ever I've started to experience strange throat sensations: * Sore throat, like a cold coming, but no cold * A feeling of swollen upper neck glands when they are not really swollen in reality * Voice changes at times The thing

Gp reluctant to refer daughter to Endocrinologist

T3 affects of different manufacturers
After many years on Teva 60mcgs daily I am trying to reduce the dose to 55mcgs due to increased bowel activity! The GP prescribed 2x20 Teva, 10 Morningside and 5 Viatris. I feel ok except that I have a burning sensation in my digestive system which would suggest an excipient in the new T3 may be an issue

Update on the dreaded G.P appointment…
Just got back from my appointment with the G.p (Copied a bit of history from my last post for reference. ) Well…it was horrible, but to cut a long story short - he agreed on a small increase in levothyroxine from 50mcg to 75mcg. Although it was a long, arduous process, and he made me feel as if I was

My Designer gene daughters results
Mentioned few months ago about concerns re daughters Thyroid. Long time ago was told " has anti-bodies but we will monitor". Only since joining this forum realised normal is vague and means nothing. So got the " bloods are normal" letter and when I saw Paed explained my concerns and got ignored,

A safe place to vent while crying over Liquid Levothyroxine brand change.
I'm a bit upset and anxious. To the outside world it may seem petty or ridiculous, there are bigger problems I know. My partner collected my prescription and the pharmacy have given him Zentiva rather than my usual Mercury Pharma. I know things are difficult to obtain, but I trialled Brill Pharma recently

Need help with results
Hi there! I have a sad story to tell about the last 6 months. I had a severe kidney stone infection (and UTI) in the spring. I was slowly doing better on my new thyroid medication (Erfa), but the infection caused bacteremia/urosepsis and I developed severe confusion. I had started taking my thyroid

Can someone help me understand what a hashi flare is and whether my change in results could be due to that?
