Thyroid issues r the problem
I have Hashimoto thyroiditis and I have CFS/ME I am sure that I have bowel problems and bladder problems and immune problems. I can't work out what is what as the body is malfunctioning. It's not getting better levothyroxine 75mg per day and multivitamin setraline for depression but it supposed to help

T4 Reduction to increase TSH
In January I was taking 150 T4 daily and 2x5mg T3, my bloods were T4=18.1 (9-19) T3 4.98 (2.6-5.7) TSH <0.03(0.35-4.94). I have been taking T3 since Oct 2019 because I felt so ill, tired, hair loss, dry skin, muscle and joint problems. With the help of much advice on here I started taking supplements

Dr Georgina Conway or any other recommendations?
Dear Friends, Please could anyone PM me any thoughts on Georgina Conway or any other good options for a sympathetic endocrinologist. I have given up with the NHS and want to try T3 or NDT if it is deemed appropriate. If it were possible to find someone who would treat me initially privately and then

TSH post levo raise - how low can you go?
Hello again, I've been on a mini trial of raising my levo by 12.5mcg / day for 8 weeks in hope of raising T3 and losing a bit of weight. Is TSH of 0.13 (0.27-4.2) too low? I feel great and weight has been going down gently. The Dr's report from Medichecks says only if I experience overactive symptoms

What do I do next? Is this T3 results low?
Hi all, just had my latest results from Medichecks, TSH is low, T3 and T4 normal. Tests were done 9am following the usual recommended protocol. The comments with the results suggests I'm perhaps over medicated and could be at risk of osteoporosis due to the low TSH. Is that right? They suggest perhaps

Livaglutide and TSH
I read in the news today that weight loss jabs eg. Livaglutide are to be offered on apps without the need to visit a doctor. I remembered reading that Thyroid Cancer could be a possible side effect and in trying to read more about how thyroid hormones were involved came across the following research

Tsh / t4 help
Hi My GP was concerned about my blood results and the effects of my medication still don't seem to be working as I am still very tired and have not lost any of that weight I gain. I am on levo 50mcg and lio T3 30mcg. But my tsh is still really low and if I add more t4 it will drop further. My results

How many blood tests to identify under active thyroid.
Hello, I was tested for a possible thyroid problem in March, those results were borderline and due to family history and symptoms I was retested 6 weeks later. That test result said ‘patient is now hypothyroid’ on my notes so I retested last week and the results are now in the normal range. Is that

Stuck. Help Plz.
Hi, thanks for all the info here. I’ve been reading for hours, think I’ve tried to absorb too much too quickly as my brain feels like it’s going to pop! I’ve been feeling nauseous with low pain headaches for a month so had a GP apt last week. Bloods were done and all appears normal apart from thyroid

Confused. Do I really need Levo?
Hi all, hope you can help/advise. I have had sub-clinical hypothyroidism (diagnosed by TSH level only 😕) for approx 20 years. I was made aware of this and prescribed Levothyroxine only a couple of years ago when my TSH reached 10 (apparently full-blown hypothyroidism). The thing is, my FT 4 has always

Elevated TSH
My recent blood tests read: TSH 36.7 , freeT3 3.3 and T4 13.7. I was alarmed when I saw my TSH. My GP would recommend increasing the T4 , but it seems ok to me. And when it goes up anywhere past 15, I start to get horrible symptoms. E.G. fast heartrate. I have been seeing a private endo. as I

Ivf loss - due to lack of TSH/ Hypothyroidism monitoring? Any advice appreciated :)
Hello all, very useful & supportive group this! :) thanks in advance for any thoughts.. My partner has hypothyroidism, and takes levothyroxine for it. She had 1st ever IVF transfer (frozen) in November, which became positive but sadly didn’t get past 4 weeks. Out of curiosity, she asked her GP to test
