question about vitamin levels
I’m Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering When our vitamin levels are at a good level , does that in turn make our thyroid levels mainly our TSH T3 T4 levels to rise when TSH is under range. It just got me thinking as I’m been prescribed folate for 3 months by the doctors & will

Painful legs at night
My endo put me on 100mcg of Levothyroxine and 10mcg of T3 twice a day, three weeks ago to help me out of hypothyroidism. I'm also on a cocktail of drugs to help with my anxiety and depression, but there have been no changes with these. Over the past five nights I've been kept awake by experiencing

Really high TSH
Hi I had a recent blood test and my TSH has come back at 8.7, this is the highest I've ever had. The docs called me on Thursday and when I said I'm on 200mcg Levo they said they needed to get me in for a review. I'm going today at 10.30am. TSH attached T4 is 15.3 (11-22.6) T3 is 4.2 (3.5-6.5) Any

In UK my TSH is 0.21 m/U/L. Doc says it's fine but I'm not sleeping & have excess hair loss again. I've seen optimal range for healthy adults at 0.5-1.0 but that in uIU/mL so I'm confused. Is my TSH reading then showing too low or high & do I need to lower my levo meds and or up them? Sorry my memory

Tongue / Graves disease
Can the thyroid affect the tongue? I was borderline again last time and have a blood test end of Feb due to be discharged if ok but I think as I keep being borderline they're not sure what to do with me. As to whether my body is naturally on borderline as I don't really get many of the symptoms Mild

How much reduction in dose to lower TSH to please the specialist???
In July I saw an endocrinologist who found my TSH of 0.025 alarming. He wanted to lower the dose because "Low TSH can cause heart complications." (Eye roll) As many of you pointed out, it's not the TSH that's the problem. Is there sufficient, but not excessive, thyroid hormone to support cellular energy

Side effects on combination therapy : thyroxine and T3
I have been on combination therapy for about 7 weeks. I have noticed I am quite breathless and this looks like it can be related but unusual. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

New T3 prescription help please
After 3 years my endo finaly prescribed a trial of T3....but, as some have mentioned on here...it seems like they almost set you up to fail. What I mean by this is that I've been on Levo for 25+ years and the Endo has prescribed 12.5mcg twice daily, making it 25mcg a day !!! which (I may be mistaken)

T3 equivalent of NDT
Hello A very clever person on here worked out the likely mcg of T3 & T4, contained in 3.5 grains of NDT from Thailand. Unfortunately I've mislaid the post. I'm seeing my endo on Wednesday and I want to understand why he put me on such low doses of Synthetic T3 & T4 for eight weeks. The new blood tests

RLS and changing meds
I have been on roprinerole xl (2mg and 4 mg) and the regular. Mostly I take the regular one because the insurance companies don't like to pay for the extended release. Right now, I cut a 4mg regular into 4 equal parts. I take two parts at night, so that's a 2 mg at bedtime and 1 and 1 earlier during

Advice finding thyroid specialist
Hi, my T4 levels have dropped from 20 to 15 since having an increase in Levothyroxine and feeling unwell with hypothyroid symptoms, it's just dismissed by NHS Endochrinologist & docs. My health and physical ability has diminished since taking Levothyroxine over the past year. So I'm looking for a Private
