Dr declining Levo increase
I was diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism last August. Currently on 75mcg levothyroxine. Symptoms are better but not gone as much as I’d hoped so requested an increase via letter as couldn’t get appt. They then phoned me for a telephone appt but said as numbers are in range they won’t agree to

My TENS unit experience
I purchased a TENS machine recently having read on various forums of others' success with it for RLS. The first night i went very gently, using it at 1/5th of the recommended intensity for approximately 10 minutes. The second night, i upped the intensity to 1/3 of the recommended amount. I also used

Hi,I have been having overwhelming fatigue resulting in me needing to sleep during the day most days, which is most unlike me. I have also been having heavy periods every 3 weeks, sometimes even less, last cycle was 19 days. Terrible brain fog and inability to concentrate. GP said it could be thyroid

Still having symptoms of hypothyroidism despite medication - any advice?
I wondered if anyone could please share their thoughts on my situation. I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism around 8 years ago, but didn’t have any symptoms (apart from some fatigue). Then, after contracting COVID in 2020, I began to have symptoms like 30-35lb weight gain (unexplained),

Preparing for GP appt
Hello I have a GP appointment in a few weeks to discuss blood tests results and symptoms (tiredness, weight gain, low mood, pins and needles). Based on what I've read on this forum, it sounds like these symptoms and results could be indicative of hypothyroid, but because TSH is within range I'm unlikely

Dull red blotches at chemo infusion site
Hoping somebody has some experience with this and can help. Eric had his 3rd docetaxel chemo Friday, and for the first time ever, developed swelling above and below infusion site maybe an hour later, after we got home. He had started with a liter of saline to make sure he was fully hydrated (NP thought

Newly diagnosed
Hello, Just yesterday I have been diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos hypothyroidism. Starting on a dose of levothyroxine 50mg once a day. As my TSH is only slight elevated I was just wondering what I can expect going forward in terms of dosage. I completely get that it will be different for everyone

Discrimination against central/secondary hypothyroidism
Just had a phone call from a GP at my health practise. They had asked for advice from the endocrinologists at the local hospital. This was because my blood test results indicate that my TSH does not rise as my T4 falls and I have hyperthyroid symptoms plus ultrasound scan showing thyroiditis. Apparently

FT3 often higher than FT4; are my symptoms even hypo?
Hello everyone! I've been hypo now for a bit more than two years. Probably three or more, but diagnosed 2 years ago, and also taken levo since then. As doctors can be a bit difficult, and I have felt with no other choice, I have raised my levo dose myself several times. Otherwise I would still be
