Has anyone had improved thyroid labs or reduced their thyroid medication, after optimising their ferritin, B12, folate, or vitamin D?
I'm currently on a bit of a mission to try and get my ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D to optimal levels. I'd love to hear anyone's stories or experiences of getting these nutrients up, and then finding their TSH, T4 and T3 levels improve and/or they have to reduce their thyroid medication. It would

Unraveling the molecular architecture of autoimmune thyroid diseases at spatial resolution
This appears to be an amazing paper - if you want to understand exactly what happens, where, in Graves' Disease and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Incredible number of images, lots of text - needs a slightly darkened room and lots of time! I've only just seen it so have nothing more to add at this stage.

Recommendations for private consultant and thoughts on Hashimotos & pregnancy / miscarriages
hi all, recently seen an endocrinologist privately who had diagnosed Hashimotos (high TPO and inflammation on thyroid on ultrasound). Minimal symptoms apart from 2 miscarriages I’ve tried levothyroxine which made me feel very unwell for about 2 months and her only suggestion was to try a different

TSH W REFLEX FREE T4 Results
TSH W REFLEX FREE T4 is the only thing my doctor tests. Should I be asking for other tests?

Can anyone please offer advice?
My son is 17. Has Coeliac disease. Tired, dizzy, joint pain are main symptoms and has missed nearly a month of school due to feeling so bad. My brother has underactive thyroid and on meds. I have sub clinical hypothyroidism and have raised thyroglobulin antibodies (501). In 2019 my son had Tsh over

Another CLL ‘wobble’, seems like I’m ‘losing it’ slightly.
Hi all, and once more I am looking for information from the vast well of expertise which is out there. Recently I ‘wobbled’ about being in subset 6. The thing that precipitated my regrettable ‘wobble’ and erroneous ‘consultation’ with Dr Google & Dr ChatGPT was the fact that I was reviewing my CLL position

Blood test results
Hi I had been on 50mcg of levothyroxine for about 6 weeks approx because I bought them online since my doctor wouldn't prescribe them at the time, as I have a pending hospital appointment with an endocrinologist at the end of this year and he wanted to wait until I'd see him/her first. I told the doctor

No luck with GP
Hello you knowledgeable lot Armed with your advice i had a telecon with GP yesterday having requested by econsult a rise in levo from 75 to 100. I was quite upset (or much ruder words) by the end. He was at home and clearly had two small children with him chattering and playing which I found hugely

Test results and what to ask my GP
I had routine bloods done last week mainly because of high cholesterol. My results showed not just high cholesterol, but also: Serum TSH 8.7 Serum free T4 12.8 So there's a note about me being subclinical hypothyroid and another about statins. So I'm guessing the GP is just going to want to put me

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.

Speaking to GP tomorrow - which symptoms should I emphasise
I think I am undermedicated with results: Serum TSH level 2.41 mIU/L [0.27 - 4.2] Serum free T4 level 16.7 pmol/L [12.0 - 22.0] Especially as I forgot and took my 50 levothyroxine an hour before the test (numpty) They are against me being on levothyroxine as I can't have any symptoms at that TSH

My Endocrinology appointment review no help! and my 1300 tpo just a small blip quote from endocrinologist (see my previous post)
My endo didn’t say anything to help I don’t have hypothyroidism and told her how unwell I am basically she doesn’t know what’s refused to help me and said she will repeat test in a few weeks . She didn’t care about the results of private bloods they mean notching and tpo doesn’t mean autoimmune thyroiditis

RFA on 130mm goitre?
Hi all Well I have a large goitre on one side (approx 130mm) and a slightly enlarged goitre on the other side. Two years ago I noticed it and eventually saw a consultant that wanted to remove it. It's causing significant deviation of the wind pipe. I then heard about RFA and today after waiting 12 months

need ammunition to stop Endo reducing my T3
Hello, this is my second post concerning the fact that my Consultant's Registrar wants to lower my T3 from 10mg but keep me on 54 mcg of Levo as my TSH is supressed. I have no thyroid after it was destroyed with RAI.However his Registrar was abrupt, merely telling me that my T3 must be reduced because
