Help with thyroid results
Hi, I’m new to this site and wondered if anyone could help me? In 2019 I had a lymph node in my neck that was raised I had a scan done and it was harmless but a “slightly enlarged lymph node” but they stated “that there was some nodular changes in my thyroid but again within the limits” so since then

Anyone here on hydrocortisone and thyroid meds?
Hey all, Started hydrocortisone trial today as I'm having trouble tolerating thyroid meds and my morning saliva cortisol was 7% range, early afternoon was 9%, the rest was good. Any success stories? How much hydro do you take and your thyroid dose? I'm currently just trialling hydro, 10-7.5-5-2.5 mg

hello, I have ordered the well woman test. I take 5mg carbimazole 3 times a week. My cholesterol is 6.6, lower than it’s ever been and I do not want to take statins.

GP note to Endo... I wonder how this will pan out... Update added
I'd received the ominous text after a blood test (which was supposed to be for all the useful vits & mins etc turns out you don't get them if they were within range last year??? 🫤) so just TSH then!... "[i]your blood test is showing that you are still overtreated we shall be contacting your Endo[/i]

Help!
Above are my bloods since diagnosis and as you can see they are all over the place. I felt best on 100/75 Levo and 2 x 5 Lio but my endo has reduced this as my TSH was suppressed. When I say I felt best - I've never felt great, always poor sleep tired, hair and nails a mess and other thyroid symptoms

Ferritin Levels/Hair Loss/Thyroid
Good morning I have started to loose my hair and the doctor is insistent its not a change in my thyroid levels, although my TSH has changed over the last couple of readings. So I was told to have a ferritin test and take vitamin D, I also take B12. Thinking that it would be low hence the hair loss
