Thyroxine dose reduced without my knowledge
Hello, I have been hypothyroid for around 15 years. For the past few years I've been taking 100mgs of Levothyroxine every day. I collected my usual repeat prescription for various medications a few days ago, and my Levo was missing. I queried it with the pharmacist, who told me my doctor had cancelled

levo below 50mcg
I have seen some prior posts about impacts of being on too lower dose e.g. below 50mcg, something to with Levo not being a "top up" and lower than 50mcg not being enough for body to take up reliance on. Anymore remember this and can point me to any content? ta

Low T3
Hi, I have been hypothyroid for many years now, but I am really struggling with brain fog and fatigue. I am currently taking 75mcg of Levothyroxine daily, but my doctor says I am overmedicated and wants to drop the dose to 50mcg . I have resisted this so far. She refuses to test T3 as she says if

stopping T4 query
Had a call from my endocrinologist today told me to stop taking levo and to take only t3 twice per day 10/10. I was taking 75mg of levo and 5/10 T3. So no reduction of levo bit by bit is what I would have thought. My Tsh is suppressed at 0.03. Has anyone been told just to stop levothyroxine and take

I can't get my thyroxine dose right, can anyone give me advice?
I've had an under active thyroid (hashimotos) for 13 years and I was taking 100mcg of levothyroxine for all of that time until recently when my TSH went up, these were the results: TSH: 7 (0.27- 4.2) T4: 16 (12-22) My GP asked me to increase to 125mcg which I did and then we re-tested 6 weeks later and

my results, please help as I’m struggling.
So I posted not that long ago but didn’t get much help. I did have my other vitamin results in this post. currently all my Levo dosage is the same 200mcg and alternating with 212mcg the next day. I’m getting a lot of heart palps and keep going dizzy. I thought it was low iron, but my levels seem

A friend
last Saturday night we went for a lovely Thai meal with a couple who we hadn’t seen for a while. (Since I began my own thyroid nightmare). The lady has had a lifelong battle with obesity, has had a gastric reduction, eats very little and is still, sadly very obese. I can empathise with this but was

Effect of increased levo dose
Rather unexpectedly, as not supposed to be until 3 months after having my levo upped from 75 to 100mcg, my TSH and T4 were tested after just 5 weeks. TSH 0.16 (0.27 to 4.2), T4 21.7 (12 to 22). As I was not expecting thyroid tests at this time (different test booked) I had taken levo 3 hours before

Swallowing issue
It's not a huge deal, but I seem to have some trouble swallowing lately (last month or so). Could that be related to my thyroid meds adjustment? I added T3 (15mcg) to my 75mcg Levo about 7 weeks ago. Or IS IT POSSIBLE to have a goitre inside the throat area that doesn't show on the neck? I do have Hashimotos

Falling asleep after taking meds in the morning
Hey all, Does anyone experience fatigue after taking thyroid meds in the morning? I take 90 t4 and 23 t3 in Armour and Thybon in the morning and I am very tired after taking it. And then at 2 pm I am very fatigued again and potentially in the evening around 7 pm. Trying to understand what I'm doing

Shoulder pain and stiffness
in the last few months I have been experiencing a lot of pain in the base of my neck, across my shoulders and in my shoulder joints. I also have really tight muscles and knots in my upper back. Having read previous posts on here and read other information I am wondering if it is all thyroid related.
