how much to raise by?
I’m taking tamoxifen for breast cancer. It had impacted thyroid levels in the autumn but I only adjusted by a little. Latest test was tsh 5.17 and t4 17 (not taken that day) on 125 for 3 days a week and 100 for 4 days a week. Obviously I’m not very with it now. I think it has been like this for

TSH and FT4 Levels
After round 1 failing I discovered my thyroid was under active. Since then I’ve been on Levothyroxine and today found out my TSH is 2.45 (it was 5.2) and FT4 is 20.6. The doctor has given us the go ahead for round 2 but am unsure if it’s too borderline and no idea what FT4 should be or if it effects

4 weeks pregnant
Hi everyone, I've just found out that I'm 4 weeks pregnant. I would rather not have to share this news yet but I need the advice of the knowledgeable people on this forum🙏🏽. My results from last week are below. I'm going to retest as I didn't leave the correct gap for the lio but I did for the levo

Amiodarone and thyroid
Hello, Q for those on Amiodarone. My thyroid has gone from bad to worse and now my gp wants to see me. I’m guessing to put me on more medications. To those on thyroid meds, will I lose this thyroid weight I’ve gained? Tia 🫶

over medicated new dosage help!
hi lovely people, over the past 18 months I’ve slowly lost 21lbs. Over the past week I have noticed I am having over medicated symptoms (I have been overmedicated before so know what to look out for). I am currently on 100mcg levo and 10mcg lio. Do you think I would be better taking 75mcg levo with

My first time posting. I am not sure if a message this long is allowed so I do apologise. I was seeing London consultant as have Hashimotos. Was moved from Levothyroxine 75 every day in November 2023 to Novothyral 75 every day instead as apparently my T4 wasn't converting to T3 very well. Took

Any thoughts please on why erfa is the only thyroid medication than helps in my case, all others cause relentless migraines
Initially I started levothyroxin that was horrendous at the time with awful adrenal causing a whole load of unpleasant symptoms, t3 thybon brand I have also tried without success. I started on NDT around 15 years ago but had to build up slowly over a few years as it caused wired & tired symptoms causing

Adding to my back again post
The six weeks i went without levo this was the full results. Free t3 stayed good at 2.70 range of 2.18 to 3.98, my free t4 dropped drastically to .78 range .76 to 1.46 and my tsh shot up to 9.12 range .36 tp 3.74.

In case anyone is interested, registration appears to be open - both in they are accepting registrations AND it is open to the public. It would be interesting to find out about how useful it is. The time makes it somewhat awkward for many in the UK. I think it works out to be 01:00 in the morning
