Cancer sufferer T3 below range, T4 50%, TSH 1.6 advice
Hello wise caring people. On one result, looks like they are a poor converter. My best pal is probably loosing battle with cancer - mid 60s male. He had radiation treatment on throat cancer 3 1/2 years ago. Treatment now stopped and has a lymph node node issue that is not responding, after throat

new vs old FT4 range
Hiya, my older ft4 blood results used the scale 10.5-24.5, whereas now they are 12-22, I was was wondering if this means that each point as a percentage is actually now worth a bit more, eg 1 point is worth 10% change vs 7% or that they are just saying they think outside 12 or 22 is not normal. the

Advice please!
Hi all, I’m new here, but I’ll try to be as brief as possible! I’ve been treated for Hypothyroidism since 2004 ( diagnosed by the late, great Dr Gordon Skinner by my symptoms and not the biochemistry thankfully) All well for past 19 or so years, on T4 125ug and then T3 4 x 20ug added gradually 12

New Consultant-Different Plan
Long story short- long battle to get diagnosis although received in 2019 and Hashimoto’s confirmed. After several attempts to stabilise on mono therapy I was lucky enough after several years of strife and illness to be allocated an endo who listened to me, took cortisol levels (low) addisons test (

Reassurance about taking T3 during pregnancy
Hi All I’m just looking for some reassurance if anyone else has continued on T3 during pregnancy. When I tested positive my ft4 was 17.5 (12-22) but my ft3 tanked from 4.4 to 3.1(3.1-6.8) and all my hypo symptoms were terrible. (Previous ft4 was17.1 and ft3 4.4 so I was still probably under medicated

blood results
Been on 50mcg for a few months and have recently been feeling awful again, so I requested repeat bloods. Results came back today: TSH 4.37 (0.3-4.2) T4: 13.8 (9-19) T3: 4.6 (3-5.4) really hope the doctors won’t argue about an increase to 75mcg 😭 I feel so shoddy doing even minimal increases so

Newbie - Is this Normal? Should I have Treatment?
Good morning! I'm a newbie here and i'm just unsure as to whether I should accept what my GP is telling me and put up with it or go private. A bit of history - I'm 46, female, overall good health historically but diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Deficiency (Early menopause) in my early thirties.

follow up to previous post. Help please.
Hi all, I previously posted on behalf of my Mom. TSH, B12, folate and vitamin D below was taken 21/12/23. GP prescribed 50,000 unit 1 a week for 6 weeks vitamin D caps. So we see the ones called calceous 400 unit with calcium 1 twice a day did not maintain her level. So that could be one reason why she

What percentage is this T4 results?
Thia is my daughter's t4 result from a private health check she has just paid for. Her TSH was 4.5. I have been trying to persuade her to increase her levothyroxine given that her GP doesn't seem to know much but she has held off until now. She is going to her GP again now with me advising her to be

Pub med article challenging traditional TSH-based approach
Hope the web address works - interesting! [i]In a study evaluating tissue function tests before total thyroidectomy and at 1 year postoperatively when using LT4, it was found that peripheral tissue function tests indicated mild hyperthyroidism at TSH <0.03 mU/L and mild hypothyroidism at TSH 0.3

just below normal Vit D symptoms
My husband has been suffering fatigue, low mood, and poor sleep over the last few months. Quite comprehensive blood tests only showed that his D3 level is just insufficient at 49, when acceptable levels should be 50+. Is it possible that his symptoms could be down to his D level? GP recommended he supplements

It's been a while since had to battle with GP after they reduced Thyroxine to 75 resulting in a return to many of the old symptoms over 6 month period. Your help and advice at that time was invaluable. Resolved after full blood screen confirmed no other issues and speaking with senior GP who was

Really low TSH
Hi, I have been on Levothyroxine for about 2 years. I started at 25mcg and have now been worked up to 100mcg. I had a recent TSH check and it’s come back as 0.05. I asked at the reception and was told this result but there was no one to discuss it with. I was called by a nurse the following day. They

Successful follow up to previous post regarding bending the truth to obtain correct prescription level
However, I did lower my drugs v carefully and not for long, and got the result I needed - a normal TSH reading (NOTE at this
test
I did not request a
T4
as this would highlight the anomaly) so I now have 100mcg Levo on repeat prescription - until the next blood test.
