TSH declining whilst on carbimazole
hi, I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and I am currently taking 10mg carbimazole 4 days a week and 5mg 3 days a week. I have been taking for around 20 months now and whilst my T3&T4 levels have been in normal range for ages, my TSH has only recently been detectable( after about 16 months) Anyway

Increased to two drugs now…
hello all. Just sent readings through to GP they were crazy high on Amlodopine 5mg. Higher than on no drug so just shows how anxiety about the meds causes a vicious circle. Started medication at an average of 145/90 a few months ago. Systolic now in 170s and diastolic regularly reaching 100 in the evenings

Seeing Endo This Afternoon...
Morning All, I'm due to see my new endo this afternoon so am just writing up some notes for them and wondering if you think there is anything else I should mention in regards to my thyroid. My symptoms are mainly fatigue and weakness, slow heartrate and cold/tingling hands and feet. My bloods

Annual NHS Blood Test
Hi, I’ve just had my annual thyroid blood test and I am absolutely speechless…… When I checked my results it showed that the NHS test only checked my TSH, the NHS didn't even check my T4 as the standard annual check. We have no chance of them completing a full thyroid blood test. Luckily for me

TSH is still suppressed (no surprise) CRP is .983 despite me having been a bit under the weather recently and recovering from a broken

Why is my TSH so low when my T4 T3 are so low?
Hi all can some please explain why my TSH is low despite my T4 T3 being low. Correct me if i have got it wrong but i have come to understand that TSH is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate release of more thyroid hormones if levlels are too low. Since 1993 i dont have a thyroid so i am on

Cardio and thyroidism
5and a half years ago I suffered a heart attack. I had a stent implanted and went to cardio rehab. I have noticed over the last year I get tired quickly and have shortage of breath. I was shocked to be told by my new doctor that I have an underactive thyroid. My question is this! Is my heart contributing

liothyronine
Hi. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2005. My thyroid and para thyroid glands were removed. I have been on Liothyronine ever since. I was monitored by an oncologist until 4 years ago, and now by my GP. I had been taking liothyronine 20mcg x 3 times daily. My GP has tried to reduce this to 20mcg

thyroid issues and a fibs???
Does anyone on this site know if there is a link between a fibs and a high TSH blood test? I have been hypothyroid most of my life and have to take synthroid, due to a partial thyroidectomy in my twenties. I am now 69 and have recently developed a fibs. I also might have apnea; am getting a sleep
