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

Sensitive to Armour fillers?
I’m struggling to up my Armour dose, which my Dr has advised to do after seeing my results. I feel horrendous, with all over aches and pains and the headache from hell. He’s suggested trying Eltroxin and Liothyronine but I’m struggling to find any without lactose or mannitol. Does anyone know of any

Levo doses and side effects
Hi everyone, I've had hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) for several years now and never felt 'well' that whole time, but at times have been able to cope and others (like now) absolutely can't. It seems to be constant and I wanted some advice/thoughts from what seems to be a very knowledgeable group who can

Unbranded levothyroxine in Westminster
My new GP (I moved home recently) told me that he can only prescribe unbranded levothyroxine. My previous GP, also in Westminster, prescribed my preferred Eltroxin. This is the brand that works best for me.Is my new GP being difficult, following old rules, or are there restrictions in place at present
