Unbelievable Endo setting the record straight on weight gain …
People often blame the thyroid when they put on weight. Is it usually to blame? That’s one of things that our society overplays. In truth, the weight gain associated with untreated hypothyroidism is generally just a few pounds — we’re not talking 50 or 60. Your thyroid doesn’t make you crave food; it

Thyroid question please...
Hi everyone, I am writing to ask if you can have a sore thyroid without significant enlargement and with 'normal' bloods? I have had 'normal' bloods, it doesn't seem visually enlarged, though I feel like I am being strangled and have audible sounds when I swallow in my ears. When I move my head something

High TSH but low T4
My last
test
result was: Serum TSH:13.2 (0.34 - 5.6)
Thyroid
Function
Test
Serum Free:T4 2.9 (7.7 - 15.1) I'm very active as I'm a runner and cyclist so have always been thin, but my BMA is now 18, and I definitely look alarmingly skinny, though it's physically impossible for me to pack any more

Medscape article: what's in a name? (brand vs genetic levothyroxine)
This made interesting reading and I've got mixed feelings after reading it. Certainly they are focused on TSH as a measurement of adequate levothyroxine replacement, which I think is dubious. However it contains some good explanations. They seem to be totally unaware that allergies and intolerances exist

thyroid issues and ivf
Hi I’ve recently had 2 unsuccessful fet’s, one was a BFN and the other stopped growing at around 5 weeks. I’ve had some bloods done recently and it appears that there’s some issues with my thyroid. (Undectable tsh and below range low t4). I know the big impact being hypothyroid can have on fertility

Thyroid cancer, hot flashes and cold intolerance/shivering?
I haven’t been diagnosed with thyroid cancer but I’ve been unwell for well over a year and my symptoms have got progressively worse. I only just did a post on this few days ago but I wanted to make a new one as I’m curious to see who has had thyroid cancer and found that they had a progressive worsening

Radiation for cancer other than thyroid.
Does radiation treatment for breast cancer affect thyroid medications? Does dose need to be adjusted during or after treatment?

TSH high level before transfer :(
Hi everyone, I have just discovered this group and decided to join as I need help to understand how thyroid levels work for IVF. I am on my two week wait after a frozen transfer (11 March) in Spain and asked for the clinic to test progesterone and thyroid levels two days before transfer (09 March)

I had a total thyroidectomy 20 years ago due to thyroid cancer, so my tsh levels are kept very low, usually 0.03 or sometimes even lower. As I have high cholesterol recently I was put on atorvastatin. Bloods were checked today and tsh has gone up to 2.75 though still in range. Could this be the

Elevated Diastolic Blood Pressure & Thyroid?
I’ve read that thyroid issues can increase diastolic blood pressure while systolic remains normal. I’ve been seeing a slight increase / trend with this. Has anyone else seen this and it meant levothyroxine increase needed?

Newly diagnosed
Hello, Just yesterday I have been diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos hypothyroidism. Starting on a dose of levothyroxine 50mg once a day. As my TSH is only slight elevated I was just wondering what I can expect going forward in terms of dosage. I completely get that it will be different for everyone

Just a follow up to my post last week
Wanted to say a special thank you to Jaydee1507 and SlowDragon for giving me their very kind and most informative advice. I was feeling quite stressed at the prospect of having to have a telephone consultation with my GP and feared a low TSH was going to result in being told a reduction in levo would

Sorted with natural thyroid medication ..but!! 🫡
Hi everyone ❤️ I posted a few days ago about my private prescription for ndt , [hope I'm allowed to post that bit]🙈 , I am at the moment waiting on the delivery of said medication and hoping it works for me. In the meantime I have received the endocrinologists report and have now received a gp appointment

How to ask the GP for a referral letter
I've been given details of an endo who may be able to help me, he's NHS linked but I would see him privately (at least initially). However he requires a GP's referral letter. Any advice on how to ask my NHS GP for this as I've never had an NHS acknowledgement of my Hashi's (my TSH has never been anywhere

Interesting article about effects of medication on thyroid function in dogs. However, many human studies are referenced too.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10473007/ Although this 2023 paper is about how medications affect thyroid function in dogs, I found much of relevance to humans given within the text body, with good references. I found it an interesting read and the first diagram particularly illuminating
