Tingly Legs
Been on 25mg levothyroxine for about 18 months due to Tsh being 3.0 and GP wanted it under 2.0 as trying to conceive. Never noticed any side affects. For about 4 weeks now I've had a tingling feeling in legs and feet and one hand which is carpal tunnel like. Bloods fine, b12 satisfactory and tsh is 1.9

Assistance with T3 source please
Hi would appreciate if anyone can assist with a reliable T3 source please. Ideally I am looking for tabs that I can split into small doses i.e. 5cmg as extra T3 to take (and titrate slowly upwards) alongside my morning dose of T4/T3. Posting this in line with the moderators rule of this forum below

Is it B12 anemia? I’m confused.
Hello all, I’m new here and not sure if I need to pursue some concerns I have with my health so wondered if anyone could possible give me some advice/guidance. I’ve always been tired, (it’s a family joke!), struggled with gut issues (mainly constipation), and in the last 5 or so years had terrible brain

breathless when hypothyroid?
I am currently “dysthyroid” as my gp puts it. Briefly - diagnosed with hypothyroid disease in 2016 (all antibodies negative). Since starting transdermal hrt in Jan my thyroid levels hv plummeted (result posted recently but roughly T4 7.2 (11-22) and T3 2 (3.2-6.8). These results are from when I was taking

Binding globulins...
Anyone got a good handle on these, please? The reason I ask is that I have had 3 months of increasingly debilitating fatigue. I take T3 only and was on 100mcg, which took me 70% through the range, I have also tried 125mcg which takes me well over the top, but still tiredddddd. I have tested cortisol

Levo with someprazole and bisoprolol
Is there any reason why I cannot take Levothyroxine at the same time as esomesprazole and Bisoprolol? I KNOW Levo should be taken an hour before anything else but just want to know if anything in these other meds would prevent thyroxine uptake. Thank you.

Need something to cling to
Hi all, I’m at a loss, in my previous post I had been started on a very low dose of T3 - 2.5mcg x twice daily this was a disaster I could not function with all day headaches and dreadfully low mood and anxiety. My Thyroid doc said I could try increasing the 50mcg T4 to 75, three days in and same

Blood Parameters effected by dieting?
I just finished a diet of 4 weeks where I lost just over 10 pounds. So 3 or 4 days after the diet I had blood work done - These are the changes in 4 weeks since the previous test. White blood count went from 5 down to 2.2 Red blood count went from 3.5 down to 2.9 Hemoglobin down from 131 to

Semaglutide not working
My daughter recently restarted oral Semaglutide after not being able to take it due to its unavailability. It really helped when she first started it with weight loss and improved readings. Her recent Hba1c has Increased considerably, however, along with weight gain. Does anyone have any idea why this

What's happening?
Trying Thyroid s for the last few weeks. Started off at half a tablet a day for about 2 weeks and then increased to 1 tablet a day. New blood test have shown liver doesn't seem to like it. Alanine transaminase 75 (range 0-34). Alkaline phosphatase 159 (range 30-130). TSH now 0.08 was 3.71, free T3 4.9

Weird test results
I tried to post my results the other day in the hope that one of our amazing Admins might be kind enough to give their opinion but the photo came out blurred for some reason. I take 3 grains of Armour which I’ve been doing since 2017 and up to now have been ok. However the last three to four months

Heterogeneous thyroid.
Hello everyone again.Sorry but I've got another question. On my latest ultrasound of my thyroid it reported that both lobes of my thyroid were heterogeneous and thyroiditis was a possibility. What does that actually mean in plain English? Thanks 😁

confused but relieved
so today I went for a second opinion to another neurologist. My last grf was 48. It has been 36. He didn’t seem concerned. As he said people with stage three can live along time. My creative was 1.2 Which was not bad according to him. He found no blood in my urine. My blood pressure was fine. He

Going back to Thyroid-S from Metavive if I can find a reliable source
I have been taking 1 tablet of Metavive IV for the 6 months but my TSH has now crept up past 5. I was tested 4 months ago at 4.2 and I thought it was an anomaly but a recent test was even higher so something has changed. Thinking of going back to Thyroid-S which worked for me for 3 years or so before

Thyroid Bloods - Opinions Sought
Hi everyone, Have recently had the below blood results from private testing and I'd love the benefit of those who have more knowledge than myself. Brief history - total thyroidectomy 2019 and a downward health spiral ever since, significant weight gain (three dress sizes and no sign of stopping

New results…
Hi everyone, just a bit of background info: These are my NHS test results from Nov 2023: t4 13.8 (7-17) tsh 0.10 (0.20 - 4.50) although the TSH came back slightly under range at that time, thankfully the GP said “no action” so I have carried on with 75mcg (have been having my usual brands - no
