Thyroxine uptake and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
Hi all, any experience or advice on this would be much appreciated. I have been on thyroxine for 25 years since having Hashimotos at the age of 29. I've also been diagnosed a while ago with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Fibromyalgia (both connective tissue disorders.) My new GP is messing about with

Should I take a higher dose of levothyroxine?
I was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism in September last year, from a routine blood test, doctor called and said she had sent over a prescription to the chemist but did not ask me if I had any symptoms at all. I took the tablets but they were then upped to 50mcg in the new year, both times

No thyroid
Hi, all the posts are about thyroid problems and taking levo for underactive thyroid, I'm taking levo 50mg and 75mg on alternate days. Can anyone tell me if taking tiromel or the unipharma tablets would be any use fo r someone who has had a total thyroidectomy. At the moment I feel as though I'm sleeping

Finally treatment!! Central hypothyroidism recognition
Finally, after all these years of missed opportunities to diagnose thyroid dysfunction I have been prescribed Levothyroxine for the first time. I walked away from the GP appointment with a sense of disbelief. It's been a battle (as it surely has for many others on this forum). My GP has prescribed despite

How to get an accurate T3 reading with bloods?
Ive asked a similar question before, regarding blood testing for T4/T3 and realised for years I was having a blood sample done a few hours after I had taken my Levo upon waking up. People on here then said to have the bloods done that morning before taking T4, to get a more accurate reading. Since then

Hi you lovely lot I don’t post much but really appreciate the knowledge and expertise shown on this site. I read all posts and research as much as I possibly can to manage my condition. So, I’m currently on 100mcg levo prescribed by GP somewhat reluctantly. I was taking 125mcg for a while as I thought

3 months post-partum - advice on these results?
I was diagnosed with hypo right before I found out I was pregnant last August. Levo was awful for me, so I switched to NDT and have done well on it. Throughout pregnancy, my TSH was optimal and T3 was good too but T4 was difficult to get optimal. I'm on 180mcg of NDT, split 90/90 morning and night

Blood test results
Hi,I started levothyroxine (25mcg) approx 6 weeks ago after diagnosis. Bloods retested today and TSH is 5.1. Previous results were 7 and 8.I have an appointment with the GP this week and presume they will want to increase the dose. Pathology investigation report on the blood test suggests undertreatment

What to do next? Advice welcome please 🙏 Hi all, I 've been on 75 mcg levo for about 9 weeks. Results since January show conversion mostly dropping as I increase Levo. I just retested, after waiting a few weeks to see if symptoms settled. Test results in photo. Endo could see conversion wasn't good

Thyroid feels sore but I am on my normal amount despite my last TSH being 0.02.
Recently my blood test showed TSH 0.02 with normal T4 and T3. The doctor tried to drop my medication but I stood my ground. However I have developed sore thyroid over the last few days. Could it be too much levothyroxine as the doctor said.
