Levothyroxine concerns.
So I’m about to start 50mcg of Levothyroxine as a trial. I have subclinical Hashimotos. My concern is if after taking the thyroxine for 8 weeks if my TSH comes into normal range but I’m still suffering with symptoms, my GP won’t increase the dose. I asked and they confirmed this. I don’t understand

Advice
Hi Not been here for a while as I have been investigating possible Hyperparathyroidism - still ongoing, it's a long road! Also had to deal with a gallbladder removal too...but now resolved 🤞 I'm having private bloods to check for raised Calcium (for HPT), which also test my thyroid. As both problems

Views wanted on results for poor T4 converter
Hello. Just reaching out to see if there are others with the same symptoms as me. I have had hypothyroidism for about 26 years. I couldn't tolerate thyroxine and tried several brands for years. I was eventually told I didn't need any meds so had a terrible time of it. My NHS doc eventually restarted

latest results - still unwell
these are my latest results after a few months on 100mcg levo and 5mcg lio TSH: 1.47 (0.3-4.2) T3: 4.8 (3-5.4) T4: 14.6 (9-19) I’m still suffering with fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, weight gain. But HOW?! The doctor said these results are absolutely fine 😭

blood results
Hello. I am normally to be found on the PA forum but, as we all know, one autoimmune disease can often be followed by another. For that reason I have taken the advice of my fellows there and had my thyroid tested. Got the results today. They all seem within range but that doesn’t mean optimal of course

TSH level
Hi, my daughter’s TSH is 3.7 and she’s on 125mg thyroxine. Although this is the “normal” range. I think it seems high and something isn’t right. Do you agree? Many thanks

Euthyroid Thyroid Eye Disease
I have had problems with one eye for 9 months now. Started with gritty feeling, watering eye. Inflammation and baggy eye bags. Then fatty bumps appeared to be coming through above one eye, and one eye ball seems slightly higher than the other, and pushed forward slightly. Then came the double vision

thy3f thyroid nodules on either side - doctors recommend total thyroidectomy
hi there I was recently diagnosed with 2 thy3f nodules on either side of my thyroid. Thy3f is an indeterminate result (25%malignancy 75% benign). I have no symptoms recently had a baby, breastfeeding, busy mom of 3 on no medication. Has anyone elected watch and wait tactic instead of thyroidectomy?

lab results continued
hi all Just left the Endo. She said tsh is bit low, so let's half t4 dose one day a week, and continue on t3 5 mcg 2x a day. I'm so surprised she did not say reduce the t3. I am currently on 100 Levo and 10mg lio What do you think bout the reducing Levo to 50 one day of the week? I'm thinking of

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

fatigue gritty eyes freezing cold
hi, I am very fatigued and have very gritty eyes and I am freezing cold very out of breath and have a fast heart standing up. Before I approach my GP what tests do I need to check my thyroid? Will they only check TSH? Will a blue horizon gold test tell me everything I need to know? My last test was

Time if day for taking medicine
I want to try taking medicine at night. Is natural thyroid or thyroxin likely to interfere with sleep?I'm completely shattered all the time apart from waking due to work stress so I doubt I would notice a small effect.

menopause and thyroid health
I’ve tried to Google looking for some information, not sure if I’m just not searching using the correct wording. Does anyone have any research articles that addresses any effect menopause can have on our thyroid function? A thought crossed my mind, so bear with me. Some of us get diagnosed with

Help Please With Thyroid & Vitamin Results.
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.

My Story with Hashimoto'S and Delusional PMT
Hello, first of all it was good to have found this group. 🙂 Sometimes I feel alone and crazy, because I go for a test and it's "Okay." I'm from Portugal and I take Eutirox 112mg. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2018, but the test values were not high enough to take medication. (TSH, T4 and T3

Thyroid Lab Error
I've had thyroid disorder now for many years and it's been well managed. Now I'm pregnant and getting tested every month. I had a weird experience where my tested my TSH as 4.8 (0.4-4). That raised alarm bells so I went to a private clinic to get full blood work (FT3, FT4, vitamins and minerals etc.)
