Advice on vitamin results please
I did a Thriva (good system) test recently for B12, D, Ferritin and Folate. Unfortunately folate not available as blood cells burst but the following are my results. I'm not familiar with how Thriva lay to their results table but they all looked good except possibly B12? B12 Active 71.2pmol D 205

Headaches
Hi Very recently diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism and started on 50mcg levothyroxine 5 days ago. I have a vast array of symptoms and understand that getting to a therapeutic dose is going to take time. My question is, how long did it take you to get a significant reduction of frequency

changing meds without discussion
Hi. I have just had a blood test for what I thought was a follow up appointment with Endo. I phoned his secretary after the test only to be told that I wouldn’t get an appointment (too busy!) but that he would write to me and my GP. I had a Medichecks blood test a few weeks ago (results posted on here

Please help with advice on Levo dose and vitamin levels.
Hello.I was started on Levo at 75mg about 10 days ago. My doctor wants to do a blood test after 8 weeks. Last time I was given a 2 month trial and because my TSH came down ( they don't care about antibodies so those weren't checked ! ) they took me off the Levo. Now I've gone to a different, much more

Is it the NDT (Thailand)
Have taken 2.5 grains NDT for many years. Recently started suffering from burning feet pads and tongue swelling late evening. Have noticed that the batch number for the NDT I currently take was hi-lighted for some reason on a facebook page but cannot find the page and reason why. The GP has referred

Timing of taking T3 - by day
Am writing this out while under the grip of a blazing migraine but as am not fit for doing much else, thought I’d come here to write a note for anyone here taking T3. I have been taking it for a year or so and without thinking about why, always took it at the same time as my levothyroxine - before

Overheating 🥵
Hi, Could really do with some advice at the moment. I’m taking 100mcg Levo and 6mcgs Lio. I’ve been ok. Not 100% but then I’m considerably better than 2 yrs ago when I started treatment. I dropped my Levo down to 100 ( from 125) 3 weeks ago so I cant give you latest bloods yet as I’m waiting a little

How much water do you drink with Levothyroxine?
I used to drink a full glass water based on some generic brand's PILs. Now I'm taking Euthyrox and it says to take the medicine with a little(half a glass) of water. Is that enough?

Sudden change in fT4 levels
I was diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism in 1995 at age 19 and did well on levothyroxine alone for years. I always felt better with fT4 high in range, although this suppressed my TSH to almost undetectable levels. A few years ago, I started to get hypo symptoms again, and bloods showed that my

Hashimotos, normal tsh, still exhausted
I’m recently diagnosed with hashimotos, but been medicated with levothyroxine for past 6 months. TSH now at 1.5. But I’m exhausted again. By 3pm I want to go to sleep. Headaches, brain fog, feeling low. Should I push for a higher dose? Currently on 50mcg.

Private consultants who prescribe Erfa
Hi there! I have been feeling great on Erfa since February this year -- much better than I felt on a combination of Levothyroxine and Cytomel during the previous 25 years. Now my consultant no longer accepts Inuvi which was the only company that provided a nurse to come to my home to draw my blood. I'm

Iron Results
Could someone advise on my iron blood test please? I've been trying to raise my Ferritin levels since I had a reaction to starting carbimazole and was hospitalised with agranulocytosis 2 years ago. My levels before were 70 and on release from hospital were 19. I've lost tons of hair and lots of symptoms

Advice on test results...
I've finally managed to get my GP to test T3 and T4 and would be grateful on any comments on the results. I'm currently on 75mcg of Levo and am definitely starting to feel a little more energy, almost back to my normal self just with occasional energy crashes. We are in the process of moving house though

Urgent help please: Getting an NHS GP to agree to blood tests for a private endocrinologist
Hello, I have a GP appointment in about an hour and it's to discuss having a blood test that has been ordered by a private endocrinologist. The person who recommended the private endo to me told me to try to get as many of the tests done on the NHS as possible. I'm not sure how to approach this with
