Thyroid s
Hi, I asked about purchasing thyroid s in uk before and someone was kind enough to pm me with the details. At the time I decided not to go ahead, but with my wife now also being prescribed armour the cost is just becoming too much. Could someone advise, please. Thanks

Help with T4 and T3
Hi everyone, I have been taken 75mcg T4 at bedtime. I swapped to bedtime years ago as I felt better. Taking the T4 in the mornings was dire. I could not even start moving until about 2/3 hours later. I have since been given T3. Now on 20mcg. I take this about 10am in the morning. It is not really

T3 T4 Dosing
Hi, I took levothyroxine only for years (since 2007) - constant adjustment of dose between 75mcg and 100/75mcg alternate days as always had hypo symptoms. Most recent dose 100/75mcg daily. Just seen endo (well endo's registrar actually) and started on T3/T4 combination therapy. He put me on a dose

2nd endo appt PTU anxiety
hi, I was put on ptu about 6 weeks ago after my first hospital endo apt. 50mg twice a day. I’ve just been for thyroid bloods T4 (whenever I ask for my thyroid blood forms from my gp receptionist I get given different aspects it’s never the full range). So originally it was 34 (normal being 12-22) then

One more step along the road I go 🎵
I ‘piggybacked’ on someone else’s post yesterday - apologies - as it opened up a line of thought but which I was rightly advised to post separately. This is it. Could someone help harness my straying thoughts re converting T4 to T3? I’ve been on a low dose, 75mcgs levo for two years now, initially

What can my NHS GP test for ?
I can see that a thyroid panel is : TSH , FT4 , FT3, Thyroglobulin antibodies , Thyroid peroxidase antibodies . Can this whole test be ran by my NHS GP ? Has any one else had it done via the NHS my GP said he can only test for TSH but I’m not really in a position to be able to go and get a private test

TSH is now 0.13 is this ok?
Hey there, Serum TSH level: 0.13 mIU/L Normal range: 0.35 to 4.94 After nearly a year of fighting with my GP over meds amounts and optimal ranges, my TSH is finally below 1 after initially being 8-9. I do feel markedly better at times but still have bad days perhaps due to hashimotos and not

I’ve now had my TPG result and it was 47 (<34) range . They also did my T3 which was 4.27 (3.1 - 6.8) range. T4 was 22.5 (11-23) range. My T4 has never been this high. They also re did my TSH which was only done 2 days earlier. This time it was 2.9, yet only 2 days earlier it was 4.4. GP said not

You were all right!
Ok I posted a couple weeks back that I had mild active Thyroiditis and TED.....but somewhat blocked the idea of Graves. Saw my endocrinologist today ....firstly he was impressed (thanks to the dedication of my optician) how quickly I had been seen and treatment started ....but feels it looks like Graves

Started candida diet and feel over medicated
Good morning First I attach my latest results: as you can see there were done in May. I see a private GP (through a menopause clinic). I take novo which she prescribes - T4 / T3 100. My question is: I have not felt "right" for a while. I know, from previous stool tests (a while back) that I have candida

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.
