Experiences with

Thyroid abnormalities

I need help please! I’ve had an inactive thyroid for over 25 years, my age is 57. Over the years I have decreased the thyroxine to 100mg from 175mg. I recently did private blood tests as I’ve been trying to lower my cholesterol. All results were good but my T4 was very high of 20 pmol/L. My TSH was 0.7

Below are my results from last week on 2 grains of armour for about 3 weeks, reduced to 1 for about 2 weeks then half for another 2. I reduced because I felt really unwell. I stopped entirely for 4 days and yesterday I took 50mcg of Levo. I feel like I’m on a stimulant. I’m not complaining as up until

Morning all💗 Well just got off the phone with the surgeon in Liverpool, who I'm under for primary hyperparathyroidism, I had the 4D CT scan done last Wed as I mentioned in a few posts recently 🤦 She as the scan photos but not the written report yet, but she as said 2 things have shown up one on the

I’ve just received results of private test because surgery has reduced levothyroxine from 75mcg to 50mcg. Please see below. I would welcome some advice before I approach anyone. Jan 30 TSH 0.23 (0.27-4.2) T4 17.7 (10.5-24.5) At this point doctor wanted me to reduce to 50mcg but I confessed that

Me again. I’m so sorry for the long post, thank you so much if you get to the end. Advice from lovely people on this forum ~7 years ago was great and I can’t thank them enough. I pushed for my GP to investigate further and although she disagreed my B12 was poor (it scraped into the range when the GP

Help with labs tsh 5.450T3 2.13 T4 1.17

My last blood tests showed I was under-medicated, with a low tsh. I’ve booked to see a thyroid specialist and will be having a whole raft of tests done in the next couple of weeks (I think ….thyroid, cortisol, vitamins, sex hormones). The problem is - anxiety. I’ve had it for years on and off, low-ish

Please could someone have a look at my friend’s recent blood test results. Some years ago, she can’t remember when, she was diagnosed with borderline hypothyroidism and given medication for this. She can’t remember what this was or the dose but the doctor told her to stop taking it after a short while

Afternoon everyone. So after months of getting nowhere fast, my GP results confirmed that my estrogen levels are very low after my repeat test after 6 weeks. Delighted to finally get somewhere! They have prescribed evorel 50 patches to start. As i expected, they won't do anything about thyroid as the

I have been on the same dose of T4 and T3 for the last 7 months ( T4: 82mcg and T3:22.5 mcg). I was then diagnosed with ADHD end of April and started taking Lisdexamfetamine plus electrolyte supplements. (Magnesium citrate, plus : Electrolyte complex - Ingredients: Calcium salts of orthophosphoric

Hi All I was prescribed 15mg of prednisolone June 24, after the first three weeks on 15mg prednisolone I had blood tests 16 July CRP down to 8 which was great as I was 19 before, Thyroid results TSH 4.7 (Ref Range 0.27-4.5) FT4 15.4 (ref range 11-23) so both outside reference range, previous blood

Good morning. I've been having frequent blood tests as my TSH has been below range for quite some time. I had an appointment with the GP this morning and my TSH is even lower at 0.06 (sorry didn't get ref range). He advised that this indicates that I am over medicated, but said that he wouldn't decrease

Graves disease is confirmed. Told no need to get goiter scanned as it won't tell medics anything more. .. despite the fact my voice is still horse and troublesome ( cancer r ruled out and being treated for silent relfux - vocal chords were scarred but have cleared up but still horse) - should

I previously posted requesting any recommendations for a local endo and totally understand why this was shut down but thought it would make more sense to ask a separate question for the second part of my post. It’s now about 10 years since I last saw an endocrinologist and have been managing my thyroid

Brain fog is a brilliant description that no one can really understand until they experience it. I feel like my brain is surrounded by a thick cotton wool-like layer that makes me want to just lie down and close my eyes - except that makes me dizzy. What the heck is happening to me? I’m 65 and moved

My cousin has many symptoms of low thyroid hormones. She did a blood test and these are the results. Everything is in range but on the low side. What do you think? Any doctor would probably say these are normal, especially considering TSH is bang in the middle.

Hi everyone. My first post for many years so I’m now very out of date on everything as I’ve been happily ticking along for ages taking a combination of thyroxine and T3 and keeping my TSH levels quite low. I’ve recently been referred back to endo to confirm the T3 prescription and for some adrenal

Hello, Sorry if this is a bit long. I have been struggling with symptoms of hypothyroidism for about 5 - 6 years. I also have a long family history of hypothyroidism and all of my female relatives battled their way to a diagnosis, and I seem to be following suit. Just before covid struck, my then

Hi Guys, New to this forum but have 7 years tackling & experimenting with nutrition for Hashimotos. With a keen background in nutrition I was determined to address it with this and avoid any thyroid drug interaction if possible. My antibodies were as high as 3500 at worst and are now 528 and dropping

Hello, I'm preparing to request another prescription of levo. I have been taking 100mcg consistently and I feel ok on it (i.e. well enough to not want to mess about with levels). GP keeps telling me I am overmedicated and has put me down to 25mcg so I have been sourcing privately. Here are my latest
