The GP told me i had sub clinical hypothyroidism. Then retested 3 months later and all is normal: Tsh 3.43, T4 13.4. But Thyroid

NDT advice please
Hello everyone I’m on T4/T3 combined meds for UAT. I read on here about people being on NDT, I’ve never tried it or been offered it. How do you go about trying to get a trial? It’s obviously an Endo route but are they even receptive to this as an option if you ask? I’m very curious to find out if this

Advice re private GP
Hi, I'm new here. Frustrated because I'm still having hypothyroid symptoms nearly a year on from diagnosis. My TSH is 5.2 ( 0.4 - 5.4) GP refuses increase in Levothyroxin. Currently on 25/50 mcg, alternate days since May. I've decided to find a private GP (or thyroid specialist) if refused again after

Thyroid, Hair Loss and Magnesium
Good Morning! If anyone could give me alittle I would be very grateful. I have high blood pressure and was pre diabetic which I now have under control, but read that magnesium was very good for both, hence started to take it. I didnt realise though that magnesium can impede some medications to my horror

Levothyroxine getting less effective?
Hi all I've written before and found it very useful so hoping you can help again. I have just switched doctors surgeries and as such lost access to my online account with all my detailed results, so hope this limited information is enough to go on. At the start of last year I was overmedicated at 50mcg

TSH STILL 00.1 AFTER HALVING T3 DOSE TO CONCIEVE AND REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGIST RECOMMENDATIONS IN LONDON OR MANCHESTER PLEASE
Hi all HMY! I have been on T3 for about 8 years very successfully and VERY happy on 20mg daily T3 and 150mcg thyroxine. I felt great. Whichever endo I see private or nhs has told me despite feeling well that I am over medicated as my TSH is 0.01 and I need to reduce my T3. I have always refused

Hi it's me again but this time I'm looking for advice for my daughter who has had Hypothyroidism since a teenager. Now 45. I've told her she needs to increase her thyroxine but thought I would ask the experts. They have never tested her T4 or T3. Her vitamins were tested last in October 2022 which

Low T4 still.
My FT4 result continues to be quite low, I would welcome advice on my medication. SlowDragon, I think you have commented in the past. I would value your opinion now. I have been unsure what to do as there seem to be many warnings about atrial fibulation. FT4 14.6 pmol/L (9.0 - 23.0) FT3 5.4

NDT Source
Hello Running very low on NDT. Any recommendations where to purchase from? Bought just before c-1-9. Please share available sources and variations. I have been on a few brands of NDT. All seem to work fine as long as it is NDT. So if my current brand is not available for whatever reason, it appears

Thyroid, Cortisol And Sodium Question
Hi All, Got my latest results and it's a bit messy. I got off NDT 1,5 grains and switched to 88 mcg of levo, my old levo I was on before. Prior to that, I was on 75/88 mcg, alternating. So I increased and now re-checked my bloods after 8 weeks. Btw, I'm well versed in everything recommended here

Feeling cold despite overactive thyroid
I feel the cold all the time but GPs can't seem to find an issue. I'm currently in a heated home with three jumpers and two pairs of socks on, plus a blanket! GP did full blood tests, showing an overactive thyroid but all other tests within range (detailed below). I take 100mcg Levothyroxine a day and

Possible over treatment with Levothyroxine
Hi everyone, I’m new to the site. It was suggested that I make a post following a comment I made replying to another post as I may benefit from some guidance on my current treatment. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid 9 years ago. I have been treated with Levothyroxine throughout. Since 2020
