How do I go about consulting a private endocrinologist, UK
Hello. I am recently returned to UK after living abroad. Happily the NHS has been quite supportive in terms of ongoing treatment of Hashimotos and Adrenal Insufficiency. I have been referred to an NHS consultant who has supported supply of the medications I have been on for years (T3/T4 and Hydrocortisone

Urgent help with results please
I posted last week about feeling terrible on T3. Exhausted and aching all over. I’ve just had my second lot of results back. The top pic are the most recent ones and the one before that were the results when I’d started on a lower dose of T3. I’ve now dropped my levo from 175 to 150 and taking 10mcg

T3 friendly endo list
Hi, after 20 years on T4 only with below par physical health, and recently diving mental health , my eyes got opened to the thyroid madness, and now I want to try T3. Is there a list of T3 friendly endos in UK, preferably Kent? Is this maintained anywhere? thank you.

Once again… flare or no flare?
Hello wonderful people. In March/April I posted saying that I wasn’t sure I was flaring and I’m back to the same question again. I have developed aches in my upper/under arms (bilateral) that are slowly and steadily getting worse. Last time I experienced this - and after consulting you lovely lot

Cholestyramine
Hello. Has anyone experienced any side effects with Cholestyramine? Been told its a 14 month wait to see the gastroenterologist and doctors have done basic tests which came back negative except the calprotectin test which was raised. I have asked to try cholestyramine. Many thanks

Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels
Hi All, my husband had to abandon radium 223 when it was discovered that he had several lung nodules (around 8mm). His PSA has been increasing for the last 18 months (he was diagnosed August 2022) so his oncologist sent him for a scan after the 4th radium infusion which is how the lung nodules were discovered

New Thyroid Results - Conversion Issue?
Hi, After an emotional Thyroid rollercoaster these past couple years (post partial thyroidectomy 12/2/21 in combination with an Endo who doesn't believe in compounded medication), I finally seem to be settling into a medication and dose that works okay. I'd have to say that I'm still a bit tired and

Worried about TSH levels :( 0.04mlU/L
I am taking a small 3mg of T3 with a private prescription and my NHS endo has said, this prescription is causing my lower TSH - but that feels like I'm being gaslight again. I'm feeling soo fatigued and stressed trying to get it sorted. I know I need to my levels on the lower side due to previous thyroid

Erfa to Liothyronine Thybon Henning Dose Conversion
Hello, I used to take ERFA and levothyroxine but as my T3 was slightly high, my new Dr has put me on Thybon Henning so it will be a bit easier to manage T3 and T4 dosing (it's difficult to cut down on NDT as if I lower it I'm also lowering my total T4 dose, and I run low in T4). I have a feeling he

Contrast for CT Scan
I have stage 3a CKD. I had a kidney removed in 2022 due to renal cell carcinoma. I am currently having scans every 6 months. I have asked for no contrast due to my reaction to it, and the doctors has sent in the orders without contrast, however my upcoming scan is scheduled to taken with Barium contrast

ESR blood test
just wondering whether anyone knows if Thyroxine affects ESR blood test results. Having taken higher dose of thyroxine for a few weeks now my TSH has reduced considerably from 4.62 to 1.6 but an ESR blood test was done at the same time and is now above the reference range and registered at 24.
