medicheck results, what to do next?
I have posted my results before from Medichecks and I persuaded my youngest daughter to take the thyroid and vitamin test recently due to her symptoms of lethargy and the fact that not only I have hypothyroidism but also her Dad and older sister. Her iron plus Vit D were all low so she is now taking

Levothyroxine getting less effective?
Hi all I've written before and found it very useful so hoping you can help again. I have just switched doctors surgeries and as such lost access to my online account with all my detailed results, so hope this limited information is enough to go on. At the start of last year I was overmedicated at 50mcg

Has anyone considered thyroid as a cause for dizzy spells?
I take lamictal, which affects the thyroid. Any drug that has interacted, lamictal is usually the culprit.I used to know someone on this drug that was handed thyroid pills. I don't think he even had a thyroid checkup. He always said it made him feel better. Actually, it always turned him into an a**

ANA & Connective Tissue Disorder results Graves
Hoping for some help. I got called into the doctors on Monday to discuss my latest bloods & my continued weight loss, I had already discussed my thyroid bloods with the endocrine nurse so was not really sure what is was about. My GP said that I had tested positive for ANA & connective tissue disease

What the heck, Thyroid!?
Well, I found myself in this forum by following bread crumbs left by FancyPants54 Thankfully she's a bit messy with her snacks 😊 I've been on Pernicious anemia forum for the past few years dealing with my PA/AMAG. I think I may have been selected by whomever makes such selections to have the benefit

Hi I’m new, been following the treads of other people’s issues for some time and realise I too need help to as the Gps don’t give much help or advise. Makes me feel like I’m wasting their time . Still that aside I have just read a thread about HRT and Levothyroxine. I’ve been on Kevo thyroxine for

Wondering if I should get a Partial Thyroidectomy?
I have a nodule on the left side of my thyroid which grew from 11 x 5 x 7 mm to 14 x 9 x 7 mm over the last 6 months. My endocrinologist and ENT believe it’s cancer. No impact on my lymph nodes. My surgery is in a few days and I’m just nervous I’m removing a part of my body that could be fine. Any

Thyroid Disease in Ageing Populations
A new
Special Collection
under Endocrine Connections. I have a nasty suspicion that access will be restricted by a paywall... And another nasty suspicion that those of us in the upper age brackets will strenuously deny many of the assertions that will be made. But that is rather pre-judging

What are you supposed to do......
GP reduces Levo to get TSH within range.Patient returns to GP with hypo symptoms again. Patient explains that they feel best when T4 (which [i]always[/i] gets tested if TSH below range) is nearing top of range. Patient shows GP private results showing T4 roughly mid-range. GP says they cannot accept

Is my 7 year old son hypothyroid?
My son is 7 years old and he doesn't seem to be growing enough, at least in the last year or so. I am suspecting he could be Hypothyroid because of my genes (Hashimoto's and Type 1 diabetes), so we did some blood work: hGH - 0,27 ng/mL (0,05 - 11,00) IGF-I - 74,93 ng/mL (18,00 - 307,00) TSH - 3,574
