Experiences with

T4 test

Can anyone please help me. I had a TT in March, I have a small amount of thyroid left. Since April I have had terrible stomach pains, indigestion, severe bloating and gas. I’ve had a ct colonography and Gastro said all good. I’ve tried gluten free, lactose free and FODMAP diet but nothing helps. I’m

Morning I have only posted a couple of times on here, the first in 2017 for my results to be explained to me ie Free T4 14.8 pmol/L 7.5-21.1 TSH 0.21 miu/L 0.35-4.7 TPO Antibodies 42 IU/mL 0-10 Folate 9.9 ug/L 3.1-19.9 Vit B12 282 ng/L 110-914 I received advice

Hi I’ve posted here several times & had enormous amount of help from all on this group. I had a partial Thyroidectomy in 1995 & have taken Thyroxine since 1997. I started with symptoms of exhaustion in 2010 after a virus & never really recovered. They got progressively worse which my GP diagnosed depression

Hello there, I've been introducing T3 slowly since Feb 24 - started 5mcg for 6 weeks then up to 7.5mcg and now 10 mcg per day. Also taking levo - started at 137.5mcg, then when I introduced T3 (and T4 went down), endo increased levo to 150, and then 6 weeks later T4 still too low, increased levo to

I've had thyroid disorder now for many years and it's been well managed. Now I'm pregnant and getting tested every month. I had a weird experience where my tested my TSH as 4.8 (0.4-4). That raised alarm bells so I went to a private clinic to get full blood work (FT3, FT4, vitamins and minerals etc.)

My son is 7 years old and he doesn't seem to be growing enough, at least in the last year or so. I am suspecting he could be Hypothyroid because of my genes (Hashimoto's and Type 1 diabetes), so we did some blood work: hGH - 0,27 ng/mL (0,05 - 11,00) IGF-I - 74,93 ng/mL (18,00 - 307,00) TSH - 3,574

Please take a look at my results with Monitor My Health: TSH: 0.53 (0.27-4.2) FT4 : 20.1 (12-22) FT3 : 4.1 (3.1-6.8) Vitamin D 71nmol/L HB: 141 No letters given after these but I think pmol/pg/ml might relate to some, this website didn't give them. FER: 60 TSAT: 27 HOLOTC (B12) :

Hello everyone. I wonder if anyone can give me any hints or tips to make the change smoothly. I will be going from 75mcg Levo and 10 mcg Lio daily to 2 grains of Armour. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi I’ve just had my thyroid results .. I’m not feeling too good have neuropathy flare 😞 I work NHS and I’ve asked about my results and they seem to think maybe my T3 is a little high for me as this neuropathy started soon after my increase ? I have also got a high ferritin which the GP thinks I shouldn

Hi from a chilly England. I have been paying privately for NDT (2.5 grains daily) for some time now. For the briefest moment I was prescribed Armour NDT but the regulators prevented my GP from continuing this so as all they would offer me was T4, I paid privately for NDT for a decade. My finances have

Hi, new here. I recently had full blood tests done due to a range of symptoms including tiredness, lethargy, brain fog, aches and pains. I've now had the results back and an concerned about some of them that the doctor has dismissed as normal. The results I've had are: Vit D 39 nmol/L (normal range

So after disappointing first Endo appointment with a very proud of herself Diabetes specialist I was quite shocked to get a phone call minutes ago , just before 5 on a Friday from aforementioned Endo. To tell me my results, and was some Ok bits and some not so OK. She called she said as my vit D

Hi all, I’m on 100mcg Levo and 20mcg compounded IR T3 split through out the day and my resting heart rate is 50bpm. it used to be 55bpm and I’m not sure why it’s dropped. Is this a reason for concern or indication of undermedicated ? I’ve attached my results from end of January where I posted on

Hi lovely people. I last posted in February, when I was hoping to increase to 75mcg. Long story short, GP agreed to the increase in March. I had been testing with MMH and watched my TSH creep up and my FT3 & FT4 decrease. Without private testing, I’d still be wading through treacle on 50mcg! So after

hi there I am looking for recommendations for private endocrinologist who is understanding and open to trying t3/ combination therapy. I live in south Essex and am disabled so preferably local but willing to consider online or to travel a bit. Bonus if they are also an nhs endo. I have the list from

I take T4, alternating days with 100 and 125ug. Also T3 15ug each day. All in one go at 5am (I set an alarm). I know you guys have said consistency is key with T3, because it has a short half life. However quartering the tablets to get 15ug (3/4 of a tablet) is awkward. So I was thinking, cogitating

Hello everyone, I've been struggling quite a bit lately with symptoms that seemed consistent with thyroid issues, including difficulty to conceive (had a failed IVF last year after many years of trying to have a baby). I had the tests done and I got a copy of my results, and I was wondering if someone

Hello all. Just wanted to say firstly how great it is to finally find somewhere where people can understand how you feel when you have hypothyroidism, and take the time to support you trying to take control of your own health. I was finally diagnosed and started treatment for autoimmune hypothyroidism

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few months ago after some routine private bloods for peri-menopause issues. TPO antibodies result then was >1300. Was advised by private menopause clinic to see private thyroid clinic. Also went to GP who said he would just monitor with yearly bloods as TSH fine. But

Hello all, Following up on my previous post, I have been for another blood exam including a vitamin control as I still feel bad and unhealthy. The doctors keep insisting that is not my thyroid that causes my problems but they also refuse to tell me what else can be.I have been checked from head to
