Methotrexate and Hypothyroid
Hi Everyone, I'm about to be started on Methotrexate for Psoriatic Arthritis. I'm hypothyroid and currently take 125ug Levo daily. My question is does anyone have any experience of these two things in combination? I know about taking Folate with Methotrexate but not sure about what it might do to my

Underactive thyroid???
I was diagnosed recently with underactive thyroid and prescribed Levothyroxine. I wasn’t happy about taking any medication without further investigation so requested a T3 blood test. My results were T4 = 10.9, TSH = 2.82, T3 = 3.1 From this I gather that the TSH and T3 are within the normal range

t3 only or combination t3/t4
I’ve been working with a private gp to see if t3/t4 will work better as I appear to be a poor converter I have had some improvement in fatigue and mood symptoms but the severe muscle tension has come back, The doctor is German and she says it is common to test rt3 and if it is high to consider t3

Confused and seeking wisdom !
I have been living with hypo type symptoms for decades but have been very unwell for the last 10 years. I have long suspected thyroid issues being a part of it. I had a diagnosis of M.E. in 2021 but likely would have had one earlier if I had gone to GP's. I am mostly home bound often bed/sofa bound.

Levothyroxine natural alternative?
My doctors have prescribed Levothyroxine and Synthroid for me in the past. However, both meds drastically increased my blood pressure to dangerously high levels, landing me in the hospital emergency room twice. (This, even though I routinely take Ziac blood pressure pills, which have kept my bp steady

thyroid trouble please help!
first time poster here, 37yo M. I have been feeling exhausted for a long time now and been struggling with constipation. We can’t find a reason for this but my GP did some bloods that showed a normal T4/T3 but a TSH of 3.7 which is the upper limit of the normal range. I have been begging to trial thyroid

Got in a mess over reduction of T4
If possible could greygoose TiggerMeor anyone else offer some much needed advice. A few weeks ago I reduced t4 to 75/100 over one week (high t4) I felt very under medicated so then increased again. I then changed to a lactose free make to see if accord was causing the acid reflux. Recently

blood test results help please
hi everyone I hope you don’t mind me asking for help again. I had a blood test request from my endocrinologist last January and was very disappointed he hadn’t requested T4 let alone T3. He’s only interested in TSH and my cholesterol. He also tells me to Jake my Levothyroxine just before a blood test

T3 is high
I had my annual thyroid function test last week and it looks as if my Vitamin D, B12, Folate and Fe4rritin are all a bit on the low side. As I haven't been taken any supplements this year because they were mostly very high when they tested last year, this isnt surprising and I will now begin topping

Latest blood test - advice please
I would welcome thoughts from the community on my latest blood tests please? I had these taken in August results via Medichecks. I have Hashimotos and the bloods were taken first thing in the morning. Interestingly, my Thyroglobulin antibodies are slightly down from 362 in 2022 to 287 in 2024. Not sure
