t3/t4 combo advice please
I am feeling very fed up, very low and like I can’t keep going with all this… Saw endo last month and was advised to take 7.5 t3 and choice of whether I wanted to drop to 50 or 62.5mcg levo - down from 75. I opted to stick with 62.5 levo as 50 had no symptom relief before! I started slow adding 2.5

Poor Converter
Hi Here are my last two NHS test results - after the March one my GP contacted the local endo who suggested increasing levo by 25 mcg per day (to 225mcg daily) in order to increase the T3 which was below range. So the T3 has been dragged into range (just!) and the T4 is right at the top of the range

newly diagnosed anemia
Hi. I’m new to HealthUnlocked and to this group. I’m also in America, so I hope it’s OK that I post here. I’ll try to put in all the info I have and follow proper posting guidelines. It’s taken me a while to be able to get this post all typed up due to tiredness and brain fog. I just had 3 month follow-up

Looking for help :(
Diagnosed with hashimotos. I’ve had a few ongoing issues and symptoms and they’re getting worse. My endo didn’t believe it was thyroid related or pcos related but arranged for other tests like ACTH, RF etc. He also stated at this point they were discharging me as there’s nothing more they can help with

GP vs. Endocrinologist
I am under the care/supervision of an endocrinologist. I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid over 20 years ago. My GP is aware and agreed that my endocrinologist takes blood samples and “tweaks” my dose of medicines accordingly. My blood test results from the Endocrinologist on 11 July 2023

Carbohydrates and the thyroid
Is it important to consume complex carbohydrates daily to help aid conversion of T3? I know proteins and healthy fats are important too but I don’t always consume a lot of carbohydrates or maybe not enough? I take thyroxine only and have recently posted about below range T3 but normal T4 and TSH

1st results since starting Levo - dose advice and restarting IVF
Morning everyone 🙂 Yesterday I had my 1st endo follow up after starting Levo 6 weeks ago. Some of you may remember my IVF was abruptly cancelled when we discovered I was hashi hypo. I am shocked at the results in 6 weeks. Endo has advised to maintain 75 dose but I have swung a bit out of range

Elevated TSH
My recent blood tests read: TSH 36.7 , freeT3 3.3 and T4 13.7. I was alarmed when I saw my TSH. My GP would recommend increasing the T4 , but it seems ok to me. And when it goes up anywhere past 15, I start to get horrible symptoms. E.G. fast heartrate. I have been seeing a private endo. as I

Need advice on what to do next!
Recently diagnosed with Hashimotos following endocrinologist appt, which was actually to investigate causes for my hair loss (lost 60% of hair after covid vaccination, then Covid itself in early 2022). Also been suffering other symptoms for around 2 years - weight gain, tired all the time, joint pains

subclinical hyperthyroidism
Hi everyone, I have had subclinical hyperthyroidism for a few years with my TSH results going in and out for a while. The last couple of years they have been just out of range consistently so my NHS endocrinologist put me on carbimazole 5mg but it didn’t suit me. I’ve now been on Propylthiouracil 50mg

Update following long-awaited GP appointment for results of Thyroid blood test
Following my last post, I have finally had my GP appointment. I thought it was solely to discuss my annual Thyroid blood test but it seems they had also tested for cholesterol. Had a long lecture about high LDL and the risk. I explained that I couldn't really do any more to improve it as I already

Hashi's with a nodule on the last 3rd of gland advice
Good Afternoon, I've had 2 Thyroid operations and I'm left with a third of the gland. I'm fortunate in that it's producing thyroid hormones but I still feel pretty rotten most of the time. Fatigue, bone pain, feeling cold, brain fog and constipation to name but a few symptoms. My recent private blood
