Wondering about something
I know everyone is different so there won't be a precise answer to this. I know when we have a dose increase it takes a few weeks or more to feel the effects. But, I'm wondering how fast medication affects our levels like tsh and t4. Does that take weeks too?

Switching to NDT – How to build up dose?
After many years on levothyroxine 100mg, I have now been prescribed Armour thyroid 60mg (1 grain) to be taken twice a day, but starting at ½ grain twice a day. How quickly should I build up from this to 1 ½ grains per day, and then to 2 grains per day? After one week, two weeks ..? What are the side

Synthroid vs Cytomel's effect on TSH Suppression
For the last 6 weeks I haven't felt well, but it took until 4 days ago to realize that the individual symptoms that have been having were related and were a reappearance of hypothyroid symptoms. I met with my MD today and told him that a few days ago it became clear that the cluster of 6 or 7 symptoms

T3 prescription
Out of curiosity has anyone self medicated on T3 and purchased from abroad specifically Spain. I have spent the last 3 years asking gp for endo referral to be told tsh is fine. I'm at my whits end with weight gain! 5ft 2 and 16stone 7lbs I've had enough not to mention the brain fog and rubbish hair

Bottom of T4 range - Graves
Ok - had a mental health crisis over the weekend - not feeling great but kinda sorted myself out. I was waiting for results which get posted and thought I had gone up the scale turns out T4 is 12 (range is 11-23) lowest it's ever been and TSH is 0.20 (range is 0.27-4.5) - they won't test anything else

Extra folate & biotin?
Since 24th April, I’ve taken 50mg levo daily, with BioCare Adreno Complex, Igennus Super B-Complex and separate Igennus B12. It’s early days, but in due course I plan to increase levo to 75mg, then 100mg, if my obliging GP will prescribe it. My question is this: is it safe/advisable/helpful to add in

Update with Vit B12 & Folate results
Hi, I posted a little while ago with recent Thyroid results. SlowDragonsuggested I come back with some other results once I had them. I'm not diagnosed with a Thyroid issue as of yet. These results are following an appointment with an NHS Endocrinologist. I didn't think about him taking bloods at

Subclinical hypothyroidism and IVF
Hi, We’ve had 1 round of IVF/ICSI which we were referred for due to my partner’s low sperm count. Our first embryo transfer was unsuccessful but we have another one frozen. The clinic asked me to get my Vit D and thyroid levels tested by the GP before FET. I asked the GP for a print out of the results

Well we're back to the Endo to be told we're trying Stop and Block again.
some may remember my thyroid story as it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm still a regular reader of posts. Tuesday the day all meds are being stopped. I refused the op to remove my thyroid and have it burned out through the great advice in here plus I wasn't keen on having a op at my age either

changes
I have underactive thyroid and have been stable for years. Recently I had some routine bloods which showed very low thyroid levels. My meds were increased but I still feel dreadful. Repeat bloods are just above normal. The only changes I can recall making is when I moved last year and the new pharmacy

Results Advice Needed Please
Hiya! I'd be most grateful if the wise owls of this forum can shed some light on my results, especially the vitamin tests. I am pretty much constantly symptomatic even though my thyroid results seem pretty optimal for NDT use. I also have early onset menopausal osteoporosis, which is being managed.

Latest Thyroid Blood Results
I have had no comment from these recent results from my gp. Currently I am struggling to sleep, my heart is palpitating ALOT, I am feeling cold to the bone and shivery but no temperature. These are familiar symptoms but if I am understanding the results, my TSH is borderline or just under but yet

Chewing Thyroid-S before swallowing?
Is it really necessary to chew NDT? I've done it most of my life but recently started swallowing it whole because of my teeth. I take my thyroid medicine at around 4 am and go back to sleep sometimes for several hours. I've had a lot of cavities and dry mouth for the last year and a half. I don't know
