How soon should blood be tested after initial hypothyroidism diagnosis/treatment?
Hello there, I received a diagnosis of hypothyroidism last month on a visit to hospital for a fast heart rate/after bloods were taken. My TSH was 37.5. The hospital started me on 50mg of Levothyroxine and said I should be tested after six weeks. I have today received a text message from my Dr, stating

Hypothyroid diagnosis
Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me. I used to be really skinny as a teenager and lived in a sunny country. One day my neck got very swollen and after this repeating a few times I decided to visit a doctor who said I had thyroid issues. I can't remember the diagnosis back then but he said I would

Positive outcome!
I had a review last week regarding my thyroid medication. The Dr refused to increase T4 due to suppressed TSH, despite my FT3 & FT4 being low in range. 'Guidelines' were mentioned.I agreed to an endo appointment, but pointed out the one I had in 2021 where he said 'if she feels well, leave her alone

Blood test comments before Endo appointment, please
I had blood tests done last month and the FT3 reading is high. I am concerned my endo may want to lower my dose (Thybon 20Henning). He sees me once a year when it is time to order another year's supply. He is registered in France as well as the UK so his prescriptions are valid in the EU. My tests

A little help to manage some symptoms
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in May 2020. It’s not been a happy ride. I’m on Accord levothyroxine 75/100 mcgs, (although Endo would like to see this reduced to 75 daily because of low TSH result.) TSH 0.18mU/L (0.34-5.6) FT4 11.1pmol/L (7.7-15.1) FT3 5.2pmol/L (4.3-6.8 ) HbA1c 32mmol

Below range neutrophils and hypothyroidism - the Link between…….
This subject was touched on within another post but I’d like to open up a new post and discussion about this issue please? I thought it was coincidental that Since becoming hypothyroid due to a partial thyroidectomy, my kappa lambada neutrophil ratio has been consistently testing just below range,

Help ref blood results
Hi Im hoping for some guidance. I have Graves’ disease treated with radio iodine 23 years ago. Since then I’ve managed on 125 mg levo. A year ago I got Covid and went from being extremely fit and active to struggling with low energy. I have long Covid. On top of this my GP said my blood tests showed

Blood test results advice please
Hello againThanks to those who responded to my last post. I have had time to digest and gone though all my various blood test results and would appreciate any advice. Background recap, I had a partial thyroidectomy (left side removed due to large nodule) in April 2023. No idea why the nodule grew,

Refusal to a diagnosis
Can anyone help me in the direction of getting a clinical diagnosis for hypothyroidism, I live in Worcestershire UK. I have been to my local doctors presented them with private blood tests to confirm hypothyroidism yet they fail to diagnose it only offering more blood tests on NHS ranges that are completely

NHS Testing
Hi - those of use lucky enough to be prescribed T3 on the NHS: Does your endocrinologist test T3 and T4 or just TSH? I know too many just rely on TSH but to the extent that they don’t even test T3 or T4 when you’re on Liothyronine? I had a monitoring test that seems to only have been TSH. I will

advice please
Hi I have graves disease and been treated since I was diagnosed in 2014. I take low dose of carbimazole alternate days and had a blood test at 9am a couple of days ago. Normally the GP will only ask the lab for TSH, but this was a 'well woman' check up so the lab also did T4 and T3. I ws a bit concerned

Struggling
My understanding GP left our practice a few months ago. I was asked to have a blood test as an annual medication review. My TSH had climbed from 0.46 to 1.24 (0.4-4.5). I was taking 50mg Levo but was tired, my hair was falling out, I felt cold and my weight had climbed by 5kg. The GP rang to ask me to

Overactive again, but why? What to do?
I have an endo appt on Monday (25th Sep 2023). Before that, I'd appreciate your thoughts on what you all think may be happening and why. It might help me get the most out of the appointment. Apologies for the long post — I felt I needed to fill in some background.
