thyroid blood test tomorrow
Early tomorrow I am having a comprehensive thyroid blood test (ie tsh, t3, t4 plus vitamins etc). I am confused about whether to take levothyroxine before the test or not. There seems to be so much conflicting information on this subject. Thanks for any comments.

Graves disease and Pregnancy
Hi guys, so I was diagnosed with graves disease causing hyperthyroidism and celiac disease in June last year. I have been on 40mg carbimazole per day and 80mg propanalol per day since. I had a consultation with my endocrinologist yesterday, she has now reduced my dose to 30mg carbimazole per day. I expressed

The Differential Diagnosis of Discrepant Thyroid Function Tests: Insistent Pitfalls & Updated Flow-Chart Based on a Long-Standing Experience
We often see members posting results which, at least initially, are odd and maybe make little sense. This paper recognises and discusses such test results. Quite long and takes some effort to read - but worth it if you are interested. [i]

Could thyroid be causing the issues ?
I have enclosed my daughters ( age 22 ) last thyroid result panel. Her TSH in June last year was over 6 then swung down to under 2 in September but is on the rise again. Her T3/ T4 are always just above minimum. Her father has Hashimoto’s as did her Grandfather and so does her male cousin. Grandad unfortunately

Suppressed TSH and getting optimum on NDT
I'm being treated by a private thyroid Dr for hypothyroid, I'm on NDT Armour and I've been slowly titrating for 12 months from zero treatment. I couldn't get treatment on the NHS. My latest results show TSH at 0.01. My T4 and T3 are the highest they've ever been and I feel much better than I did last

Went back to GP again today after previous visit about clubbed fingers and breathing trouble. Booked an urgent blood test and need to provide samples then I will get a scan to check for cancer. I don't know how I feel about this tbh, wanted him to tell me it was all in my head and for that to be true

Could a member please explain the T3 feedback loop?
Hello, I have been on NDT since June of 2021. I am currently taking 175mg of compounded thyroid. About two hours after taking my thyroid capsule I often feel hot and sometimes a bit anxious ( like being overmedicated) but in the afternoon I am out of gas. My cortisol is high in the early morning, good

test results on 2 and 3/4 Thyrogold
This is my latest blood test which is good and bad. Happy that my vitamin levels apart from D are good (no supplements for 6 weeks prior) but my levels for T3 and TSH are bad the worst I’ve had since taking NDT. Yes it was done in the afternoon (15.40) but I was of the opinion that it needs to be 8-12

Sourcing NDT medication
Hi, I’d appreciate anyone who can PM me with their current source for thyroid medication. I’m in the UK and managed to get Thyroid-s from a thailand shop a few years back, which was much better value than the US pharmacy I was using before that, but I’ve discovered they no longer exist. Hope you can

Infant Hyperthyroidism
Has anyone had an infant 👶 (<= 6 months) with hyperthyroidism? What was the diagnosis and how did they proceed to treat it (if they did)? I went hyperthyroid in Jul20 and it was deemed a mild thyroiditis which self resolved (all antibodies negative except for TgAB). Note my Dad has Graves’ disease.

Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

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
