TSH levels lowered after iodine spike - advice on next steps needed
Hi everyone, I hope that you are all well. I have an update on my journey and just wanted some advice as I am still very new to this. My journey started a few months ago. I've tried to condense everything below. Just to state I have had various blood tests and they are all optimal (cholestral, Vitamin

Within range bloods - can someone confirm please?
Hi all, After being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation five years ago and an ambiguous NHS blood test showing possible hypothyroid symptoms I decided, as my diet is mostly plant based, to take a vegan multivitamin/mineral including iodine. I had a private thyroid test done a few months later which

What to do about lower than expected test results?
I’d value some advice about what to do regarding my most recent test results: TSH: 0.02 (0.27 - 4.2) FT3: 4.6 (3.1 - 6.8) 40.5 % FT4: 18 (12 - 22) 60% This was on 125mcg Levo five time a week; 100mcg twice a week and 10mcg of Lio a day. Test done per guidelines here. I reduced it from 125mcg Levo

Unexplained bruising?
Hello, I’ve had strange unexplained bruising all over my legs so got a variety of blood tests through my docs. Only thing that has come back is what I believe to be under active thyroid. Is unexplained bruising a common symptom? I should add that in 6 months post partum. I had thyroid tested pre

Increase in Synthroid Dose Worse Before Feeling Better?
Hello, I'm a long time hypothyroid patient but the last few years after covid have been a wild ride finding the right dose again. I'm curious if anyone can offer insight as to why the first one to two weeks of a medication dose increase I feel amazing and then I tank horribly after. All the hypo symptoms

Endo review... that's a new slant!
Opening line...
Endo: I don't wish to discuss TSH with you as we disagree (0.05 results from 5 months ago)
Me: 🤐 (zipped mouth)
Your fT4 is near the top of the range 17.2 (12-22) blah blah heart and bone issues blah blah
😕(confused) even though it is actually in the middle? Are you

help with results
hi, my husband has Graves and has been in remission since 2019. He checks his thyroid via Medichecks every few months. His thyroid results are good but in January his thyroglobulin antibodies crept up. He repeated it in March and the results were: Thyroglobulin antibodies- 116 (0-115) TSH 1.89 (0.27

My nieces thyroid test results
Hope this is ok to post on here on behalf of my neice. She also has hypothyroid like myself she's had it for the past 5 years and have never looked at her test results until now because I told her she should get her T3 and T4 tested also. Could I had some feedback with results please ? Tsh 3.46 mu

Now I'm really confused – surprising test results
I've been on here before complaining about the same problems which seemed to stem mostly from undertreated hypothyroidism and doctors being too cautious to change my T4 dose. My picture has been complicated for several years by atrial fibrillation which has the grace at times to run to tachycardia (very

Heart rate after levothyroxine increase
Hello all :) I recently got myself a private endocrinologist appointment after being increasingly frustrated by GPs being dismissive, and not wanting to increase my levothyroxine as my levels were "normal" despite still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I'm so glad I did, because she was very kind, completely

My Endo Consultation Disaster…. No T3 for me.
Hello everyone, feeling like I want to scream into a pillow this morning! I had my private consultation yesterday and not only wouldn’t he prescribe me any T3, he is also going to write to my GP to reduce my Levo prescription!! So it was all a bit of a disaster really. I showed him my Blue Horizon

Lymphatic system/fluid retention
Hi my lab results are 0.26 TSH, 5.6 T3 and 15.1 T4 . I have hashimotos. I seem to have a very sluggish lymphatic system or water retention. My fingers swell and get worse due to heat causing pain. I also get this all over my body and have bulging not pitting type odema at the top of my shins towards

Facing thyroid surgery?
Have you been told that you're hyperthyroid, and / or been told that you need to have your thyroid removed – but you're not convinced because your symptoms don't seem to match the diagnosis? That's exactly where I was nine years ago – and I want to urge you to follow your instincts ! To put it simply

Fatigued with anxiety
Hi, I have hypothyroidism which was diagnosed three years ago and am currently on Levothyroxine 100mg daily. My memory has improved to a more normal level but I wake up every morning barely able to open my eyes and in work I am able to function, but I lack sharpness and feel detached, almost like I am

Why would my FT4 change?
Hi, My thyroid has been ok for some years now, I have generally felt quite well. A recent GP blood test flagged up that my FT4 is at the bottom of the range. I am currently taking 120mg of NDT, I was on 240mg for many years but was told I must reduce my dosage as my TSH was 0.05. I reduced the dosage

Perplexing results. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
I was wondering if any one had any thoughts on my results I’m 14 years post RAI and have been on levothyroxine for 8 years and I seem to be very sensitive to dose change. I don’t have thyroid antibodies just a toxic adenoma. They run my T4 higher around 19- 22 for conversion for T3, my consultant
