Hello everyone, I found this forum two months ago when my Gp was pushing me to start cholesterol lowering drugs even though i tried to battle it with my weightloss. I really could not understand what is my body doing, why are my levels increasing ( 8.2 was my total count)I started to search everywhere

Can't tolerate Levothyroxine
Having terrible problems. Diagnosed hypo in August with hypo and hashimotos. Not been able to tolerate any levo meds. Accord 50mcg caused terrible dizziness after about 8 days. Dizziness went when I stopped. Wockhardte 25mcg also caused terrible dizziness and painful constipation within a few days. All

Vencamil (branded) vs. Aristo levothyroxine (generic)
Aristo in the UK have decided that supplying both versions of their product is unsupportable. This has caused confusion in distribution and prescribing and dispensing. (Despite the UK having dealt with Eltroxin and Mercury Pharma levothyroxine for many years!) Hence, they are stopping the generic

Does anyone know if you can take eltroxin along with progesterone and estradot patches / vagifem
I’m on thyroid meds /-eltroxin .I take these in the morning on an empty stomach I’m going on the above HRT meds . Shall I take them in the evening after food ? Eltroxin states on the leaflet that HRT may Interact ? Pharmacist says there should be no interaction ? Maybe I should get my bloods done

Reading test results
Hi, I could do with some advice from others in the thyroid mess! I'm seeing an endocrinologist in a few weeks (been waiting since April to get appointment) and my most recent blood results from last month are attached. The first signs of thyroid dysfunction was hyperactive results, put on neomercazole

Hi all, hoping for some help! I was sent for an mri for consistent blood results suggestive of pituitary issues. It revealed an empty sella. I was referred to endo/neurology. They did tests - no problem with my pituitary. I had consistent blood results showing very low TSH with low/mid level t4 and

wrong dose …
For nine days I have been taking 25 mcg of Eltroxin rather than 100 mcg. I have no idea how it happened. What might the effect be and can I start taking my 100 mcg again tomorrow morning? I feel like such an idiot. I don’t understand how I didn’t notice. Thank you!

I found a couple of years ago that mercury pharma suited me much better than other brands (as well as anything could managing my hashimitos) . My GP and pharmacy say they can’t get it now and have changed me to eltroxin. I looked at ingredients and it seemed ok so thought it was ok to try , yet after

Guidelines
Hi I'm wondering if there are guidelines in the UK regarding TSH numbers by which a doctor is advised treatment should be an option? I did my first private blood test in 2017 and the doctors remarks were to see my GP regarding treatment for an underactive thyroid. I was so pleased to finally have clarification
