One being that i cut so many food types out of my diet that i'm now scared to add things back in along with dosage changes

T4 to T3 conversion
Does T4 to T3 conversion lessen with age? I'm just trying to figure out why I feel 20 years older than my real age. No changes to any meds and supplements and TSH and T4 levels are on a par with where they've been for several years. Ferritin is low but I suspect it's been that way for a long time. I

Thyroid cancer, hypothyroidism and kidney function
Hello, I’m usually on the pernicious anaemia forum but I’ve been recovering from a diagnostic hemithyroidectomy confirming thyroid cancer. I think I am beginning to enter hypothyroidism in a big way and am waiting for my NHS TSH test results. I know that private free t3/t4 etc. testing is better but

Constantly overheated
I’ve had hypothyroidism for over 10 years and first few years struggled to get my meds correct in terms of ‘ how I feel’ (unbelievably sluggish and tired) which has meant fighting my Gp to allow TSH to be on low side (0.03). As I’m in UK they won’t test T3 levels only TSH and sometimes T4 (which last

First bloods after starting levothyroxine only TSH tested?
Good morning, I asked for both T4 & T3 to be tested? The nurse explained that "it's only done at the lab if needed" so how's that going to work? How will the GP know if I need an increase etc.....no answer? What are we dealing with here? Has it always been this way or is it because the NHS is basically

Hi all, I did a home test earlier this year after covid that showed I'd become hypothyroid, (I'm now ok). I would like to show these results to my specialist but he only accepts results that have the patients name on the same page as the test results. MMH have graphs meaning my details at the top

Advice Please 🙏🏻
Hi all, Could anyone please give me some advice on my latest bloods please? The last time I posed on here the advice was to up my dose from 100mcg to 125mcg. Do I need to go up a bit now again? since my last post I have been diagnosed with Polymyalgia rheumatica and have been on 20g of steroids.

Impact of levothyroxine on thyroid direct production of T3
My understanding is the thyroid produces both T4 and T3 although the majority of our T3 comes from conversion of T4 to T3. If we are taking thyroxine only (T4), which is lowering TSH, would it effectively cause a decrease in the amount of T3 being produced directly by the thyroid gland in the scenario

Advice for blood-test redo after loading doses
Hi you lovely lot! I posted in July regarding my symptoms and your kind words helped give me the motivation to continue pushing my doctor surgery before they finally agreed to give me B12 injections. They started on 6 loading doses which I've just finished and now I need to wait the dreaded 12 weeks

Help, Can anybody interpret these results?
Can someone help me make sense of these test results? MC = Medichecks. NHS = GP Surgery, BH = Blue Horizon. What is screaming at me over these last 6 bloods is that they are all fasting, taken around 9.00am. The very last results were based on supplementation of B12 sublingual spray 300 mcg x1 day Thorpe

'Suppressed' TSH
I'm hoping that the kind and knowledgeable people on this forum can help... Every morning as I begin to stir, I feel a 'vibration' in my chest - this will wake me up. When I take my thyroid medication, the 'vibration' subsides after about 20 minutes. I did query this on this forum and was told that

Understanding test results and next steps please
Gosh, I hadn’t realised it was two years ago I asked you lovely lot for help. Sadly, I just struggled on with life, it’s like wading through treacle.I saw a chiropractor who asked if I have had my thyroid checked…I went to my gp surgery and saw the most compassionate locum. He sent me for thyroid blood
