An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

Hair loss, and other symptoms
Hi there, I’m a 48 year old female, with some concerning symptoms. Extreme hair loss, tiredness, depression to name a few. Blood tests came back with 2.14 TSH, 13.1 plasma free T4 level. Is this enough to cause these symptoms?

Tapering
Forgot to mention in my last post that results from the blood test for my Thyroid ie TSH and FT4 came back as abnormal meaning they were outside the reference range so have had to have my thyroxine medication increased, so decrease of prednisolone and Thyroid levels not being ideal could be reason I

Bad chest x-ray and no dx in sight
Hi, I have just had a troubling chest x-ray after experiencing ongoing coughing and a nagging pain in the center of my chest for the past year. Doctor kept passing it off as allergies or mild asthma, but I persisted for a pulmonary consult. Now, no one will follow up with me for a minimum of 2 months
