herbs to help anxiety
people keep telling my to try ashwaganda to help with my anxiety. I have read that it can affect the thyroid and it is not recommended. I know when I took it previously that was included in a ‘rhealsuperfoods’ balance tonic powder drink along with maca root it definitely calmed me down but at the time

Feel like I'm going mad
At the end of January I ended up in hospital with low sodium levels and very dehydrated and then suffered 2 fits which resulted in a fractured spine. I was tested for thyroid disfunction and indicated hyperthyroidism though my aunt and grandmother had low.My hospital ultrasound was said by radiographer

Levothyroxine brands
Can anyone advise on a brand of levo for sensitive people. I know what suits one might not suit another! In May 2022 I had my thyroid removed after years being overactive with goitre on Carbimazole. At one point my weight dropped to 50kgs and it took many months before it returned to within normal

Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT? My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit

Levothyroxine dose
Hi my son has hashimotos, & has worked out that he needs 200mcg levothyroxine each day to function okay.He has suicidal ideation & emotional intensity & this dose helps him feel more stable mentally . The problem is his tsh arent showing he needs this high dose anymore so the gp has decreased it to 125mcg

Levothyroxine was reduced late September 23 from 100ug to 75ug due to TSH 0.03. Have gradually been feeling the effects of this it seems. Now feeling very tired, not thinking straight - brain fog, reduced appetite although crave chocolate (didn't know reduced appetite was symptom until very recently)

Looking for suggestions
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's back in 2014. I have only been on synthroid once for about a year. It messed with my sleep and my blood pressure. So I stopped taking it and I became hooked on a sleep med to boot. My last US according to my report are referring to it as a goiter. I did have more daytime

Thyroid test when unwell
I have an annual GP thyroid test tomorrow and am feeling unwell. Feel sick and wiped out and sinus infection. Will this affect my results? It's just the normal GP test. Thanks

Support for long term thyroid condition
hi just wanted to ask here if anyone knows if the uk classes a thyroid condition as an auto immune disease that warrants support and recognition? Wondered if there’s support financially or work wise etc for having a thyroid condition I get the sense it’s palmed off as not a big deal, when it’s a life

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

Just keeping you up to date
There are 4 new papers in the journal Thyroid. Its's a groupthink seminar from the combined great and good. The titles may depress people somewhat, but these groups have yet to stop taking TSH so seriously. I hope to get full texts from Rudolf who has access.
