latest bloods - graves/ptu
hi diagnosed with graves few months ago. Originally tried carbimazole but came out in a bad rash everywhere. Now on ptu 50mg twice per day but have halved to once a day since having pins and needles from knees down. Still experiencing anxiety, some hot flushes, irritability, palpitations. (Have lost

medichecks results different from GP
I did a home test back in. March in order to get some information other than the GP test who wanted to reduce my Levo and put me on Statins. I take 100mcg daily and feel well on this dosage, when I was on 75mcg, I felt lethargic and not myself. The new results are CRP HS. 1.510 mg/L. (Range < 3

Could a member please explain the T3 feedback loop?
Hello, I have been on NDT since June of 2021. I am currently taking 175mg of compounded thyroid. About two hours after taking my thyroid capsule I often feel hot and sometimes a bit anxious ( like being overmedicated) but in the afternoon I am out of gas. My cortisol is high in the early morning, good

Test Results Interpretation
Hi, My GP has said my results are stable/ok but when I checked my TSH it looked low. Serum free T4 is 19.9 and Serum TSH is 0.02. Would be grateful for any insights as feeling generally fatigued.

hi, I’ve now been on Levothyroxine 25 since last June. None of my symptoms have changed. GP has just increased it to 50 and said to retest in 8 weeks. I have been asking for increase for quite a while as my level was still in the upper range of normal last test I had in October . My levels had been

A few Things ….
1. I had an ACTH test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine. I had a small bowl of plain porridge and nothing else, except water

Update to last post: What does T4 do?
Hi Thanks for all the help when I asked the question about T4, while prepping for my appointment. The appointment went well, I got a GP with ears! GP wanted to discuss the last endo letter saying that I can't have T4 increase unless I agree to give up my "self medicating habit." I explained that I

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

Help please… I don’t think I’ve had enough information from my throid test
As I mentioned in my last post I was feeling tired etc and achey. No get up and go. I was awaiting results from Thyroid test that the nurse had assured me she was covering all FT3and 4. Looking at the results I don’t think everything has been covered. My TSH looks ok but if I try and put the photo of

Thyroid Test Results
As a result of my GP pressurising me to reduce Levothyroxine intake I have had tests carried out privately. My weight justifies the dosage of 200mcg daily that is currently prescribed. (1.6mcg/kg) However this dosage results in incredibly low TSH levels. My GP seeks to raise TSH levels. Results are

Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

Hashimotos for Sixteen Years, Realizing I Know Next to Nothing
This is a long story, and as with so much in this "we have too much info" age, I'm probably over-responding, but, I was recently blindsided by a new health condition, and I don't fancy having it happen again if there are cues available. I've had hypothyroidism/Hashimotos for 16-17 years, at least based

Help, GP appointment tomorrow still can't get them to listen.
So the saga continues, Sneaky GP has refused to reinstate 150mcg daily since reducing it to 150mcg eod in November when TSH 0.01 , 0.27- 4.2, FT4 21.6 12-22, .my HbA1c went up to 54 Vit D 125 , Endo recently said this level was dangerously toxic thought the range BH anyway of 75-200 was optimal

3 months post-partum - advice on these results?
I was diagnosed with hypo right before I found out I was pregnant last August. Levo was awful for me, so I switched to NDT and have done well on it. Throughout pregnancy, my TSH was optimal and T3 was good too but T4 was difficult to get optimal. I'm on 180mcg of NDT, split 90/90 morning and night

Hi Everyone Following on from my last post and medication change a couple of months ago I have now had my latest results. Test was taken at 8.30am with last meds taken 24hrs beforehand. I have been on 75mcg levothyroxine and reduced my T3 down to 25mcg p/wk (split into 2 x doses) as free T3 was over

How should Levo dosing work - a 101 explanation needed please
sorry my brain is mush. I have read a lot of posts, tried Dr Google etc. I could do with a really basic explanation to help understand what my Endo is likely to talk about this week re: Levo dosing. what I think I know… Levo replaces what’s missing, T4. This results in lower TSH and higher T3 (assuming

What tests are needed?
Hi, My husband is on Lithium and his regular bloods from that clinic showed his thyroid results were off so he was sent to the GP for testing. The nurse said his results were fine. We haven’t been able to access the results and I imagine they only did TSH or basic tests. I want to get our own tests
