Thyroid Nodules - Advice Please š
I'm new here and it's my first time posting. It was noticed I had a large nodule on my thyroid while having a CT scan for an unrelated issue 5 weeks ago. I can feel a large lump on the right hand side of my neck which is also visible and an ultrasound scan has since confirmed there are several nodules

tsh too low on levo dose
Hi, I was trialling an increase of levo from 125 to 150. My tsh dropped from 1.6 to 0.09 ( range 0.27-0.42) and gp put me back down to 125. My t4 went from 22.5 just above normal range ( 12-22) to 25.5. Gp didnāt test t3 this time ( or the results arenāt back for it ) but my previous t3 was 3.6 when

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didnāt make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isnāt a thyroid

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!

Should I push for an ultrasound of my thyroid? I have primary hypothyroidism without Hashimoto's...

Graves Blood Test food or not to food ...
So I was always under the assumption that I shouldn't eat prior to a blood test - I'm never hungry anyway so no bother - however, lovely vampire said "have you eaten anything? don't want you passing out on me!" I said "no - I generally don't bother before blood tests nor am I hungry!" she then told me
