test interpretation help please
help with test result interpretation please. retest using monitor my health as I though NHS test might have been affected by taking a multi vit (which I stopped a week before this test). Was overactive and gradually put on 75 levothyroxine. Should I be reducing this amount as now over active? My TPOs

Hi. Hope you all well. Does anyone have experience coming off levothyroxin 50mg? I had my left thyroid removed 10 years ago. My right thyroid producing too much thyroxine and making me very ill. Many thanks.

Secondary hypothyroidism
Has anyone had problems with central hypothyroidism and their tsh going to zero. Doctor refusing to raise levothyroxine because it will suppress tsh to much but my free t4 really needs a raise. Does a low tsh really cause afib and osteoarthritis or is this false.

Hi everyone, After being underdosed on 25mcg of Levothyroxine for almost a decade, my new GP increased my dose to 50mcg around 6 months ago. The increase was done slowly over 6 weeks, as advised by people in this group. I had some blood tests done two days ago and today I got a message from the GP saying

A little advice please
following on from my last post where my blood tests showed low tsh (following protocols) I was called into the dr today. Dr wants me to drop to 50 one day 75 the next. I feel quite settled on 75. He took my blood pressure and pulse both of which were low. Should I try the lower dose to see what happens

Endocrinologist won't medicate me?
My results are:TSH 2.3 (0.3-5.0) down from 5.32 T3 4.2 (3.5-5.8) down from 5.6 T4 11.2 (7.00-20.0) up from 8.6 Could this be from taking a month of supplements (recommended here, so thank you) & I'm now doing ok because of that? I'm still symptomatic (less so) I don't know?? Ultrasound & blood

Test results show no inflammation
I posted here 4 months ago and got my blood tested by the GP. There are no inflammatory markers in my blood, but I have a constant sore throat and dry eyes which are also beginning to suffer with high pressure. I am paying privately to have my eyes checked out by a specialist, but I just wanted to check

Cognitive disorder in older adults

TPO Antibodies & Fertility Problems
Hello, just wondered peoples thoughts or experiences? I have never been diagnosed with a thyroid issue but after near 2 years of TTC and 2 miscarriages I do wonder if things could be better in the TSH/TPO antibody side of things. My GP has never shown a concern with it I have basically had to beg her

Hello, I wondered if anyone had ever had similar blood tests and what was the outcome. Background, I come from a family of dysfunctional thyroids and mine is definitely on the way out. Over the years my thyroid test have swung between subclinical hypo and normal, usually with a TSH around between

Can levothyroxine cause hypothyroidism?
This happened about 25 years ago: I had hashimoto's and a large goiter, but tsh and thyroid hormones were normal. Before starting levo I had some symptoms: dry,fine hair, some cognitive issues... but I felt almost healthy and was active 17 hours a day). When levo was prescribed, I felt very cold and

Overmedicated for Graves

Frequent injuries when exercising.
I have been hypo for about 10 years, currently on 75mcg levo, and 10mcg lio but drop to 5mcg twice a week, otherwise my heart rate goes up from 60’s to 90’s. TSH 0.01, FT4 16.1, FT3 4.6, both 41% through range. Vit D 85. I find if I do even pilates, ligaments and bursae get easily inflamed. Eg an ankle

Inflammatory Arthritis with Levothyroxine
Has anyone else had severe pains in their tendons and muscles due to Levothyroxine? 18 years ago I had an ESR blood test at my G.P.'s surgery as I had severe pains on Levothyroxine, this proved I had Inflammatory Arthritis, so I bought Armour Thyroid from the US as the only alternative at that time.
