Got in a mess over reduction of T4
If possible could greygoose TiggerMeor anyone else offer some much needed advice. A few weeks ago I reduced t4 to 75/100 over one week (high t4) I felt very under medicated so then increased again. I then changed to a lactose free make to see if accord was causing the acid reflux. Recently

Latest blood test - advice please
I would welcome thoughts from the community on my latest blood tests please? I had these taken in August results via Medichecks. I have Hashimotos and the bloods were taken first thing in the morning. Interestingly, my Thyroglobulin antibodies are slightly down from 362 in 2022 to 287 in 2024. Not sure

low TSH normal t3 and t4
I have been having fatigue, anxiety and weakness for a while now. Blood tests came back this week with 0.03 TSH but normal t3/t4 although both were in the higher end of the range. I have a history of swinging hyper/hypo and have diagnosed nodules. Currently not medicating. Could this result explain my

Insights on 4 years of results?
Hello to everyone on here. Does anyone have any insights to share on my results, please? I'm due another blood test with my GP next week and I have asked for a full thyroid panel, but so far they haven't agreed to that. I asked last year too, but they were only willing to measure TSH. I have read on

Hypo crash after going too fast with T3, saliva cortisol readings
Hi, community. So I’ve been on a bit of a wild run over the past 2.5 months trying to get my thyroid therapy back in good shape. To give you a bit of the context, I am a 25 yo female, have been diagnosed with Hashimoto and subclinical hypothyroidism since 2018, started combo therapy (T4+T3) around

Problem absorbing T4/T3
Just wondering if anyone knows how you can tell if you are not absorbing thyroxine and liothyronine due to gut/stomach problems. Will your TSH and T4/T3 blood levels show you have enough hormone - i.e. will it still get into your blood but not other parts of your system. I currently have a diverticulosis

What companies do you recommend for private affordable blood tests as I can’t remember the ones you’ve mentioned before . Thanks
Louise - hypothyroid , just want to have them done privately for my endocrinologist I got through this website , as my GP’s won’t understand how the thyroid TSH works etc etc ( without me having to go into it you all know what I mean anyway - almost easier to get them done privately rather than on NHS

Thyroid and Diabetes
I take levothyroxine and metformin. My blood results for diabetes are too high. My TSH is below range ,T4 just in range at upper level .Levothyroxine may increase the diabetes result. Should I reduce the levothyroxine?

Help with recent blood tests please
Hi all, Further to previous posts… Endo finally prescribed T3 5ug and had advised reducing T4 from 100 ug to 75 ug which I was reluctant to do as I felt so awful after reducing from 125ug on 12/01/24. Previous bloods taken on 22/02/24 while on 100ug T4 for previous 6 weeks : T4 19.5 ( 12-22 range)
