Update on Bank Holiday fun

I developed strange heavy lower leg sensation in 10/23; always been very healthy active 54 year old female. This issue coincided with a lower back flare up after playing pickle ball. MRI revealed a small disc bulge at L4-5 but no one was sure if these symptoms were related. I also got brain MRI

Still on 50mcgs Levo and symptoms returning…
Morning everyone, It’s been a while since I last posted; And no surprises but I’m still on 50mcgs with symptoms I had before I was diagnosed returning. My GP refuses to increase because my last blood test done in January showed my FT4 at 19.4 and he said he doesn’t want it to get any higher than that

Medication and dosing
I take my 75mcg of levothyroxine at bedtime and T3 2.5 mcg at midday and 2.5 at 4pm. So I know I miss my bedtime levothyroxine until after the test but when should I take my 4pm T3? Please and thank you. 🥰

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

Hi all, So i've been under private thyroid care for just over and year and a half. I was on 75mcg a day from about 18 years old to 42 years old, had bloods checked and all 'in range' but I didn't feel good. Tired a lot and sluggish and constipation, cold sensitiveness. After changing to private,

Thyroxine & Gaviscon
Hi just a quick question. I'm prescribed Gaviscon 4 times a day after meals & at night. My Thyroxine dose was always taken in the morning for 30 years then asked to change to bed time in 2022. Just realised that I also take Gaviscon last thing at night too. Any suggestions as if I omit it I get indigestion

Hello all
I have just been diagnosed with a “(since 2014)” added. I’m hoping to find some helpful tips and ideas from you all going forward. It will be lovely to be able to get advice from those that have already been there. I feel like I’ve been told yes it’s sub-clinical, here’s some thyroxine, now off you go

Need recommendations for herbal supplements.
I'm 67 and have had anxiety since menopause. I don't do hrt and haven't taken natural supplements. My anxiety comes and goes and is exacerbated by histamine in pollen season and possibly low oestrogen ongoing. Constantly light headed and sob intermittently and can't make arrangements in advance as each

Suppressed TSH again!
I have an appointment with my endo tomorrow and I have just got a print out of my NHS test results ( only TSH and T4 tested). I followed all recommended protocol for this test which was at 9am. I currently take Levothyroxine (Teva) of 100mcg. I have Hashimotos (diagnosed about 5 years ago) TSH: 0.20

No increase in T3 despite asking endo.
I had my endo telephone appointment yesterday. Because of the blood test results she will not increase my dose, in fact she wanted to reduce it!Also my vits and mine blood test will be done next week, because the endo letter didn't get actioned until yesterday morning when I had a text message from

Latest blood results
No wonder I’m feeling unwell again. TSH up, T4 and T3 down. So glad I have started on 75mcgs Levo now. Hopefully I’ll start to feel better again soon.

Why do I suddenly feel terrible but still taking Armour?
I have been happy as a clam and able to function and be part of the world since I started Armour two grains a day in Sept 2022. This was after a year on levo that did nothing for me. Around Xmas 2023, I started feeling sluggish and constipated. Bloods were done mid Feb through my private thyroid doctor
