Further advice on solving the burning in my feet please.
Thank you to everyone who has previously offered advice on this website, I’m writing again in need of a little bit more advice. I followed your suggestion, spoke to my consultant, and suggested that initially raising my T4 might help. He sent a second email to my GP and on the 4th April 2024, I began

Help please
I am on 1 mg of Levothyroxine and took my last tablet 24 hours before my blood test but my latest thyroid results were TSH 2 & FT4 23.7 The only time I feel well is when my TSH is lower than 1 and I explained to the nurse that for someone on Levothyroxine the TSH should be under 1 and I was experiencing

levothyroxine
hi, I came on here for advice a while ago and discovered that I was taking too little levothyroxine and was advised to get gp to increase it, over a period of time in 3 monthly intervals, in increments of 25 I am now taking 75. The results of the blood test after adding the first 25 after 3 months showed

vertigo
hi all, I hope you’re doing well. Please can I ask if a high tsh can cause vertigo, blurry vision and /or seeing flashing lights? Even after changing dose 2 weeks ago?

Bank Holiday fun (not!)
Evening all, hope those of you in the UK have had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine could have been better… I ended up in A&E on Saturday night with a racing heart (at times around 150bpm) after none of the tricks I’d read about would bring it down below 100. And when they tested my blood pressure

Synthetic Thyroid Meds just not suiting me
Hello all, I used to take Thiroyd NDT from Thailand. I went to their headquarters in Bangkok in late 2019 and was told that due to an outbreak of swine flu in the region, they had to stop manufacturing Thiroyd NDT. I grabbed 600 pills of Thiroyd from the 50th pharmacy in Bangkok so that lasted me a

looking for alternative to LDN
Hi, My husband has taken LDN successfully for over 6 months but is now working in a country where it’s not prescribed and he isn’t permitted to take it in with him. I’ve been looking at supplements like lion’s mane etc and wondered if anyone here has any positive experiences? His TSH etc is checked

STILL can't find my dose
Last time I posted, I was going up to 225mcg, when at 200mcg my tsh was already 0.04 and FT4 17(9-19). Biggest mistake I ever made. I ended up feeling worse than ever before on 225mcg after about 4 weeks on it. The most SEVERE bedridden fatigue one could experience and the worst brain fog ever. No

Finally! My Thyroid Disease is Treated Optimally! :)
I just thought I would post my experience, prompted by my reply to a previous poster, who asked what they could realistically expect from optimal treatment. I think its helpful to see those that are happy on medication and their journey. I have been taking 75mcg of levo and 20mcg of lio daily for about

Hi brief history. Partially thyroidectomy in 1995 been on thyroxine since 1997. Undermedicated by GP for several years until 2022 when I eventually saw an NHS Endocrinologist who increased my Thyroxine. In 2023 I was given a 6 month trial of T3 which I started in December 2023. I last posted about
