Followed advice here, now need help with understanding results
Hi, I’ve learned more here in the last year or so than I’ve ever learned from doctors. I’ve also come to know that I’ve probably been on too low of a Synthroid dosage for far too long. I am hypothyroid with Hashimoto’s since 2005 or 2006. I had a goiter on my parathyroid and had surgery to remove

Could thyroid be causing the issues ?
I have enclosed my daughters ( age 22 ) last thyroid result panel. Her TSH in June last year was over 6 then swung down to under 2 in September but is on the rise again. Her T3/ T4 are always just above minimum. Her father has Hashimoto’s as did her Grandfather and so does her male cousin. Grandad unfortunately

Latest blood results
No wonder I’m feeling unwell again. TSH up, T4 and T3 down. So glad I have started on 75mcgs Levo now. Hopefully I’ll start to feel better again soon.

Low salt levels
Is there a private thyroid blood test recognised by the NHS because my GP will only test for TSH. I had quite a heated discussion with him but he still said it wasn't necessary!! I went to see the GP because of itching on my arms and torso . I think this is quite common with thyroid problems ?Also has

Why do I suddenly feel terrible but still taking Armour?
I have been happy as a clam and able to function and be part of the world since I started Armour two grains a day in Sept 2022. This was after a year on levo that did nothing for me. Around Xmas 2023, I started feeling sluggish and constipated. Bloods were done mid Feb through my private thyroid doctor

I have appt booked with endocrinologist re my low T3 level, what should I be pushing for? Advice for best outcome from this consultation.

I have had an underactive thyroid for 30 years. My Levothyroxine dose is now 100mcg daily and was reduced from the 125 mcg during the pandemic after I lost 3 stones in weight. I have never been given my full annual thyroid test results in the past but they have now been made accessible online. When

Hopefully getting closer to just a bit more tweaking...?
Right, over the speed bump that happened around Feb. After speaking to endo, reduced Levo to 50mcg and am back up to 5mcg x3/ day T3. I have been feeling more stable and a bit more alert, more energy for about 4 weeks. Just recently started slowing down again, sluggish bowels, cold intolerance, dry skin

Add more t4 and quit t3 ?
I just got my test results back , I'm on levothyroxine 75mcg/ 5 days a week and 100mcg 2/days a week. I also take 3mcg of Cytomel. My body can't handle a higher dose of Cytomel. It makes me very anxious. I am wondering if I should go back to T4 only, maybe a bit more? (I must add that there were

Ndt and iodine supplement?
Hello everyone! I started treatment with NDT in t4 6 micrograms and t3 1.4 in December 2023. I tolerate it well and I'm happy about it! From my analysis done this month it turns out that my ft4 is 0.98 and ft3 is 2.69 and the tsh is 1.34... How do you find these analyses? My endocrinologist wants to

So still can't get Sneaky GP to put my repeat px Levo back to 150 mcg daily. She also refuses to remove or edit records where she wrongly entered that I agreed to reduction to 125mcg daily. I have had lengthy discussions re this. She is fixated on TSH and keeps trying the you'll get cancer, heart
