Dose of Levo lowered
Hi, My GP lowered my thyroxine from 150mcg to 125 mcg as my TSH was 0.01 after the January blood test My TSH has been low for years. There was no discussion about how I felt and no option to stay on 150mcg. Results from Monitor my Health as GP refuses to test anything other than TSH! Both tests

hopefully getting somewhere!!
Having been treated for hypothyroidism since 2000 when I had a thyroid nodule, I have struggled with my weight and wellbeing to varying degrees over the years. I'm now 79, but active. I saw an Endo privately in October had a few blood tests which I have posted, (including Medichecks in Feb I think)

Abnormal blood test again!
Hi all, I posted in here 2 months ago after discovering my thyroid blood results were abnormal. I saw a GP and agreed an increase in dosage from 200 to 225 daily levothyroxine. I’ve had another blood test (Friday just gone) and the results on my NHS app state ‘ Abnormal, but to be expected ‘ … should

Experience with Covid and hypo/hashis
Hi all, I’ve been quite stable for a number of years now. I was on NDT and doing ok but not perfect, adding a small amount of Levo to my NDT at the end of 2019 made me feel really well, pulling my FT4 up in the range a bit made a big difference. At the beginning of May this year I thought I caught

Advice
Hi Not been here for a while as I have been investigating possible Hyperparathyroidism - still ongoing, it's a long road! Also had to deal with a gallbladder removal too...but now resolved 🤞 I'm having private bloods to check for raised Calcium (for HPT), which also test my thyroid. As both problems

Starting levothyroxine- which brand?
Hi, I have been asked by the end to start on 75mcg Levothyroxine today. I am gluten free and have reactive hypoglycaemia so avoid sugar/ carbs; is there a particular brand of Levothyroxine that might be good for me? I also take a bunch of supplements; Vit D, B complex, selenium, magnesium, iron;

Thyroid Test Results
As a result of my GP pressurising me to reduce Levothyroxine intake I have had tests carried out privately. My weight justifies the dosage of 200mcg daily that is currently prescribed. (1.6mcg/kg) However this dosage results in incredibly low TSH levels. My GP seeks to raise TSH levels. Results are

Struggling with levothyroxine
Hi I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid in Jan this year. GP said it was 36. It has come down to 30. I was on 50mg of levothyroxine but had a awful time on them. They reduced to 12.5mg and slowly increased to 37mg. I have now been taking 50mg for three days and again now feel terrible, I'm emotional

Hi all, So i've been under private thyroid care for just over and year and a half. I was on 75mcg a day from about 18 years old to 42 years old, had bloods checked and all 'in range' but I didn't feel good. Tired a lot and sluggish and constipation, cold sensitiveness. After changing to private,

Sub-clinical hypothyroidism
4 years ago in 2019 my thyroid levels were showing underactive borderline I managed to get into normal range and all I did was take Seamoss gel. However it's returned and now my TSH is 10.38 and T4 around 9. I do feel lethargic and fatigued and the GP wants to stick me on to a low dose of levo.. I don't

low TSH
I have autoimmune thyroid disease diagnosed 23yrs ago and have been on the hypothyroid treadmill since. Yet again GP wants to reduce my levothyroxine and liothyronine as my TSH is 0.12. this happens regularly and my TSH never changes. Many years ago an ultrasound of my thyroid showed it was “shrivelled

Can't lose weight !
I have underactive thyroid, and am really overweight ( 138 kg ). For the past 4 weeks I have been on 1500 calorie diet and walking one hour a day. The result = 1 lb loss ! What am I doing wrong ? I take 125mg Levothyroxine daily and wait an hour before having breakfast. I am thinking of taking a Blue

Results - help please
Hi there,I am posting on behalf of my mum (I have hashis and in my own personal nightmare!). She has diagnosed hypothyroidism, not autoimmune. She is 72, has been on levo for around 20 years, current dose 75mg, she doesn't specify a brand so I suspect it's whatever the pharmacist gives her. Serum ferritin

Tweaking T3
Hello, Sorry to post yet again. I've gotten so much advice already and I will most probably have a go at the single dosing of T3 in the fall, but for now I have to make due with my split doses. I was feeling a bit off lately: increasing pain (back, leg, muscle, knee) in my right leg. Something that
