Appointment with a new consultant 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳
Cant quite believe it, but I have another appointment to see a different consultant. I think when I saw the last one who was pants , they hadn’t cancelled this one, so I’m seeing this as a good omen……especially as it’s on Friday 13th ( was originally on the day the consultants were on strike) . I am

Advice on Progress with T3 Trial
I started my T3 trial in July this year. My Endo asked me to reduce my Levothyroxine from 75 to 25mcg and to add 2 x Liothyronine 5mcg. I made changes slowly but was alarmed at dropping to 25mcg T4 so alternated with 50/25, eventually keeping at 50 mcg after an interim Medichecks blood test. I have

Thyroid blood tests results - Help required
I had a thyroidectomy in 2017. I have had an ongoing battle with GP's over treatment. My latest TSH that my GP tested was 0.07. This was the only test he carried out having refused to test F4 & F3. I was on 75mg T4 & 10mg T3. GP lowered T4 to 50mg against my wishes. Six weeks later I had gained

Am I in remission?
Hello everyone! Thanks for reading. So, it’s been nearly 4 years since Graves diagnosis. I have come off meds once during this time for about 6 months but went back on after about 6 months- bloods were normal and antibodies were negative at the time. However my trigger factor was definitely stress from

TSH low the rest normal
Can anyone explain why my TSH is low yet the rest is normal? I know my new doctor will be onto this in a flash when they do a test shortly and probably reduce my levothyroxine (I`ve had this battle for years) The following is a private test T4 = 121 range 59-154 TSH

Higher CSF/serum free-T4 ratio is associated with improvement of quality of life during treatment with L-thyroxine
An interesting paper. Note a parallel with Pernicious Anaemia/B12 deficiency in which some have low CSF B12 while having high serum B12. Asking the question, though the answer is almost certan, has anyone ever had their CSF thryoid hormone levels tested? On Twitter: [i]Johannes W. Dietrich @drjwdietrich

Cancellation of Arthroscopy as low TSH
Good Evening Everyone I thought I would share this with you. I am scheduled to have a private Arthroscopy on Thursday 12th Oct. I had a pre op appointment and had some bloods taken on 30th Sept. I got a telephone call today from a nurse to say that the Consultant Anaesthetist was cancelling the operation

Over medicated
Hello, Sorry, I know I need to update my profile, just haven’t got round to it yet. I had a quick question before I go back to my doctor for a second opinion. Hashimotos and been on Levo since March. Started on 75 now all the way down to 25 Teva and still my TSH is untraceable, so I and the Dr presume

Endo appointment, T3 results at last and hyperparathyroidism possible
Thanks for your replies to my previous post and also the advice that I should investigate hyperparathyroidism. I saw the endocrinologist today and apparently my July '23 results (which I hadn't been told, and certainly they'd never mentioned they'd do T3) were: TSH: 0.02 (0.27-4.2) T4: 20.5 (12-

DBS should I or should I not??
I'm sure everyone goes through this question over & over again!! Ten times, or more like 100 times in our heads when trying to make a decision and be happy with the choice made. I went for my assessment for dbs this week in Southmead Hospital,Bristol. I went through the test and just kept on thinking

Query viz meds reduction
I've just started on a T3 trial two month ago and a doctor in the practice who doesn't know me has noticed from latest results that my TSH is suppressed and required me to cut down my T4 to 75% of my regular dose every other day. ie (75mg/100mg on alternate dates). My regular doctor warned that this

I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for 9 years with levels up and down throughout this time. I normally take thyroxine 75 mg. On my last blood test my TSH level was 10 and my T4 - 14 I had many symptoms including fatigue, dizziness and low heart rate Could low thyroxine also cause some discomfort

Thyroid medication update
So presently taking 60 NDT and 25 t4 synthroid. I couldn't tolerate 90 ndt so my doctor gave me 25 t4 as a slower release and doesn't hit as hard as ndt. So it seems this addition of t4 has helped me. My sleep is better, my eyebrows filling in more, the few pounds I was holding onto seem to have dropped

Another Cholesterol question
Morning All I have just read Soaping’s post about high cholesterol and TSH. It’s interested me particularly as mine is the same and the surgery are trying to push statins on me. Currently I’m hypo so I said I’ll decide when my Thyroid levels are optimal. The link given by shaws explains the
