2SAN Test
Well, I’ve seen everything now. My local pharmacy has a display of self testing kits for a number of conditions. One of which is a finger prick test for Hypothyroidism, self testing TSH at £9.99!

Hypothyroidism
Does anyone know if someone who has had a thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer and someone who suffers with hashimoto's experience the same long term symptoms?

Levo Brands/NICE guidelines
TT two years’ ago from being hypER with goitre. Now on 125mgs Accord Levo. Various ‘symptoms’ but apart from weight gain my main concerns are breathlessness/balance issues/food sensitivities. An interesting consult with my gp this morning and I would like to see what comments the forum might

Help interpreting results :)
Hi there, I'd be so grateful for some help trying to interpret test results. I started getting symptoms of joint stiffness, low energy, skin breakouts and generally not feeling myself, in 2021. Due to the joint inflammation in my feet and fingers, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Arthritis, but there

Extremely upset
Has anyone ever been told they can't have a levothyroxine increase until their tsh is over a five. I'm currently at a tsh of 1.77 with a range of 0.36 to 3.74. My free t4 is 1.01 Rage is 0.76 to 1.46. Feeling exhausted with the low free t4 but being refused even a boost from 125mcg to 137. Any reasons

update and advice please
First of all I want to thank the administrators and everyone who contribute to this forum. I look at it several times a week and so continue to learn about our shared condition from all the contributions. I need to take a bit of a sounding about my next steps – I think I know what I want to do, but

Graves in couples
hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Graves (I’m 42) and my husband was diagnosed in 2008 (age 29) and relapsed in 2018 (currently in remission). I have discovered that George and Barbara Bush also both had Graves and although the cause was investigated, it was never found why both got it. Their dog

Advice with Graves Disease
Hi All - I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in June 2023 and prescribed Carbimazole 20mg plus Propranolol 80mg Sustained Release. I have never actually met my endocrinologist owing to NHS strikes, so as a 60yo man I feel pretty alone with this condition as I don't know anyone else who has it. After

How Do Those on T3 or Combo Therapy Navigate TSH Obsessed Doctors
After my pitiful NHS results in December ( before starting self sourced T3) my GP increased my Levo to 200mcg a day. I haven't been taking that much, obviously as I'm taking 150mcg of Levo and 12.5mgs of T3. The GP I spoke to said retest February and unfortunately my surgery have been uncharacteristically

Switching from Levothyroxine to Liothyronine
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I haven’t written on here for a while as I’ve been feeling quite well so hope you don’t mind me coming back to you now. Although I feel good on my current dose of thyroxine and definitely don’t feel I’m taking too much, my endocrinologist wants to lower my thyroxine
