What do my thyroid autoantibody test results mean?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with primary hyper parathyroid disease, and am waiting for surgery to remove a 9mm right side adenoma lying dorsal to the mid/lower pole of the right thyroid. During my ultrasound, the consultant asked if I knew what my thyroid autoantibody results were. He didn't discuss

Help interpreting thyroid test results
Hi. I recently had thyroid blood tests done via the NHS but I have so much brain fog I can't make head nor tail of them. My GP thinks they're a bit odd but puts it down to me taking Metavive (advised by Dr. Sarah Myhill a couple of years ago). Plus, she says I'm within the NHS range anyway so they won't

Levo causing high prolactin and low testosterone
Can anyone relate? I have found levo sky rockets my prolactin, SHBG and makes my testosterone abnormally low. these levels always normalise in the months after stopping levo and always worsen the higher the dose. I have also found levo is causing severe episodes of hypoglycaemia (blood sugars after

Advice on latest bloods please
I want to increase T4 by 25mcg, based on symptoms and previous history of feeling great at 100mcg. As I take T3 my TSH is obviously suppressed and I really thought that I'd got the doc on side. However, the lab report has warnings all over the TSH result, and the doc wants to talk to me! [i]TSH result

endo on NHS (Hashimotos), ultrasounds and increasing Levo doses
Just a quick question, if I push hard for an endo visit via my GP, is it possible to see one soonish?

Dosage of T3 and T4 Confused!
Hi there, I have written up more of my history in my bio but briefly, I have had an 8 year journey to get through a debilitating illness, which was diagnosed as ME/CFS and then Long Covid, even though at the same time my Thyroid was found to be mal functioning. I did ask something here a few years ago

TSH rise
I've just had blood results following a small rise in my Levothyroxine dosage prior my reading was 4 ( 0.6- 6) range now its 4.7 same range. I wasn't expecting a massive drop but was surprised that it has risen, is this usual while adapting to dose changes. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated

Advice please
I had a partial thyroidectomy (left removed) in April 2023. I am on 50mg levothyroxine but I am still not feeling right. I am having trouble regulating my temperature, my hair has tinned a lot. I am tired, ache, have put on weight and feel miserable. Keep being told by GP that my TSH is in normal range

new hypo diagnosis but overheating not cold
I have been unwell for over a year after discovering thyroid nodules which have now become diffuse. My Tsh is High and my T4 low and they have given me a starting dose of 25mg Levo. One of the worst symptoms for me has been an absolute inability to tolerate heat and I'm booking all of the time, but
