advice please
hi. I have started with stomach acid issues and achey muscles, tingly hands and increased anxiety (which was already severe). The last time this happened I needed to increase my thyroxine so that’s what I have done. The gp won’t test my thyroid as it was done in November and it was fine even though I

some advice
just has the private blood test done after having borderline results with gp this year. Both antibodies are really high 255 but my thyroid hormones are relatively normal. I’ve been told previously to have repeat bloods yearly as I’m at higher risk of developing hypothyroidism. I’ve also insisted on

Insulin resistant & query about blood results
Good afternoon, Please can someone advise if my bloods are acceptable. I had to nag doctor to increase my dose from 125 to 150mg and now fear although I am starting to feel better in myself that they will reduce dose down again when I see them my blood sugars are also out of range - a clinical trial

response regarding my endocrinologist complaint
Hi, I am sharing the letter I received from the hospital ( it’s taken them well over 6 months). I was so ‘cheesed off’ with the reply that it’s taken me 3 days to read it again and then I spilt coffee on it 🥴. I don’t know why I thought I’d get anything better, but the response is actually farcicle

T3 and cortisol issues?
hello, I could really use some help piecing my mess together. I’ll try to be brief but that may be difficult because there’s a lot to unpack. 2009 thyroidectomy for large goiter and hashimotos Lived comfortably on 150/175 mcgs of Levo until perimenopause. Around that time i developed severe anxiety

Advice following house move to another county
Good Morning, we recently moved to another county and have been referred into central Endo/Diabetes service (Aintree Hospitals). Currently still with Lancashire service but l current locum Endo is appalling and only seems to measure against TSH levels and continues to try to reduce based on that

Got GP appointment but what to say to get him to test anything more than TSH
Hi 3 months ago I wrote a post about my daughters results since 2018 & her vitamin levels which are dire. It has taken her this long to manage to get a telephone appointment with a GP next Wednesday. My question is what does she say to convince them to test more than just her TSH. I went through

I am on 1 mg of Levothyroxine and took my last tablet 24 hours before my blood test but my latest thyroid results were TSH 2 & FT4 23.7 The only time I feel well is when my TSH is lower than 1 and I explained to the nurse that for someone on Levothyroxine the TSH should be under 1 and I was experiencing

levothyroxine
hi, I came on here for advice a while ago and discovered that I was taking too little levothyroxine and was advised to get gp to increase it, over a period of time in 3 monthly intervals, in increments of 25 I am now taking 75. The results of the blood test after adding the first 25 after 3 months showed

Going back to the gp.. one year on
So one year after my first blood test I’m going to go back to my gp to ask for a ‘second’ (more like 10th) opinion, I’m under medicated 25mcg levothyroxine, still symptomatic and fed up! I’m going back to the gp, basically demanding a dose increase and citing the research to support it. (My latest results

half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

Achilles reflex
I know that a slow Achilles reflex can be a symptom of hypothyroidism. It’s not something I had ever thought about until I was diagnosed six months ago with a TSH of 42. I’ve since then improved in some ways. Anyway, quite recently I heard about the Achilles reflex and discovered that in my case, the
