postpartum thyroiditis
I was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis in April after going to the GP with dizzy spells, raised heart rate and weight loss despite eating more due to increased appetite. My current TSH is 0.005 and I’m just feeling so rubbish with exhaustion (my 6 month old baby isn’t helping adding to this) and

Surprise at GP
had an appt this morning about gut/urgency issues and finally got round to asking what my very first TSH reading was, in August 2021, 3 months post hip replacement surgery. My understanding was that I was borderline - I didn’t even know what that was! I was retested six weeks later and a bit higher,

Novel Thyroid Hormone Transporter and Liver Issues
Two papers which closely link. The first, from 2018, identifies a novel thyroid hormone transporter. The second builds on that to try to identify why fatty liver issues occur. But no real answers yet. We have had many members say that they suffer from fatty liver disease. This might be worth a read

Blood results help
Currently undiagnosed but feeling awful, sore muscles, fatigue, hoarse voice, dry hair and skin, eyebrow loss on the outer third, constipation etc. My TSH was tested in September for some GI issues which turned out to be lactose related and it was 2.9 (ref 0.5-5.5) These are my results from last week

I saw the endo last week. Told her all my symptoms but she didn’t seem interested just that my TSH and ft3&ft4 were in limits. She said a lot of my symptoms could be from something else or age related. I said about vitamins and she said she would do them so that I could take some to see if that helped

metformin & tsh level
does anybody have any experience with metformin lowering TSH level? I came upon a study that said it can lower tsh in hypo patients. My daughter has been on 500 mg metformin for years. Her tsh is always low and she has a ton of hypo symptoms. I have hashimotos and my gut tells me she is headed there.

Can't lose weight !
I have underactive thyroid, and am really overweight ( 138 kg ). For the past 4 weeks I have been on 1500 calorie diet and walking one hour a day. The result = 1 lb loss ! What am I doing wrong ? I take 125mg Levothyroxine daily and wait an hour before having breakfast. I am thinking of taking a Blue

Is neuropathy related to Thyroid? If so, what tests do I get?
I have periperal neuropathy primarily in my feet/shins. Is neuropathy related to thyroid issues? If so, is there anyrhing else to test except for a standard thyroid panel? I do currently take B12 injections every 4 days so I have that cause covered which has helped but wondering if something else is

Feeling flat
Hi everyone, just feeling so flat and low. Like a functioning shell, if that makes sense? I’m menopausal too (post) so probably isn’t helping. Only diagnosed with Hashimotos recently but have been struggling with symptoms for years. I assumed it was the menopause so took HRT but as my poor thyroid couldn

Back to life thanks to this forum! GP Next steps though - further levo increase?
You've been so helpful. Your collective knowledge has led to a diagnosis of (ords) hashimotos, my levo being upped to 75mg and I'm pain free for the first time in 5 YEARS! Thank you. I feel alive again. I armed myself with printed NICE guidelines and facts/ research and GP didn't resist this time and

Feeling pretty meh miscarriage no 6
Hi ladies. this might be a long one sorry. I don’t even know why I’m posting this but can’t talk to the ”outside world”. My best friend lives aboard and I haven’t made any Mum friends since having Francesca. Those who don’t know me - I had an horrific 7 years struggle with involved 3 surgeries
