advice please- protein shakes
I know we shouldn’t take other tablets or vitamins close to thyroxine, but is a meal replacement shake made from pea protein okay to drink an hour after thyroxine? is that different to vitamins as it’s food? Also, do we really have to avoid soya? I can’t have diary and most other protein shakes

Taking Biotin
Hello, As part of my daily suppliment intake I take the full range of B vitamins (B1-12), which includes 50mcg biotin. As I understand it, this is less than the 20mg which would affect my T4 levels, is that right? And at this dosage do I still need to stop taking this particular suppliment 2 days

Help with latest Blood Test
I have taken the D1o2
test
and my
T4
to T3 is compromised by one parent which is why I wanted to trial it, but was only on 50mgs of levothyroxine at that time. I am still experiencing a lot of aches in my legs which feel heavy. I am taking vit C, omega 3,6,7 & 9.

One
test
was thyroid function
test
: TSH,
T4
but of course, no T3. The results were TSH 4.48 (0.35-5.00); T4 14.3 (11.00-23.00). Do you think it would be worth getting Medichecks to do a proper Thyroid function test?

Frustrating GP appointment
I now have to have another blood
test
(where
T4
has been requested on the form) before anything will be altered. I got the usual blurb about them being in touch if anything's wrong but I'm not holding my breath.

Thyroxin and throat/ neck pain
Hi, I’ve been on thyroxin for four weeks now. I’m getting a weird ache in my neck/ throat, like it’s harder to swallow. It’s not painful as such, it just feels weird. Is this normal? Is my thyroid just adjusting to the meds? Thank you

I have a note on the chemists file not to dispense Teva thyroxine. I recently got a prescription filled and I have started feeling extremely unwell with headaches, stomach upsets and feeling lightheaded. The only difference has been this change, when I have checked the box the underside of the pill

Do I need increase in thyroxine dose?
I have struggled with hypothyroid symptoms all my life (always cold, always hungry, always tired, weight gain etc.) but was always told by my GP that all I needed to do was diet and exercise. Nobody listened to me when I told them that I was already doing that - I suppose it's easier to assume overeating
