Serum selenium results
I just had my selenium results back today. 1.27 Umo/L ref ( 0.75-1.46) Was advised to get selenium tested as recent tpo antibodys were raised . Not sure now if I actually need selenium with this result ? GP advised selenium would help but I'm guessing depending on results which seem to be in range

any secondary cancers after thyroidectomy?
I’m just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with a secondary cancer - particularly renal or bladder - after having thyroid cancer. I have read the chances are raised but I can’t find out by how much. I’m currently undergoing investigation. thank you x

Advice on my non-existent TSH Please
I had radio iodine treatment 5 years ago after having Graves. I am on 75 and 100 Levothyroxine on alternate days (a low dose I know). I was given additional T3 med lythothyronine 18 months ago, 5 mg twice daily which improved my quality of life no end. My thyroid levels have been fairly steady over

Hashimoto’s Dr’s Reply - help needed please
Bloods above - is anyone able to help me with a response to this letter please? I have asked for my levo to be put back up to 150 and they have refused - I have previously posted that I regularly don’t get meds I can take, brands are changed regularly - they often give me meds I have reactions to so

Can You Refuse Certain Blood Tests
I had a consult with a Livi doctor last week for non thyroid related issue, he wanted me to have a load of bloods done. I've checked online and see what he's ordered. It includes B12, which is pointless as I'm on jabs and have been for years, so B12 always very high. ( the lab always moan and point this

Cardio and thyroidism
5and a half years ago I suffered a heart attack. I had a stent implanted and went to cardio rehab. I have noticed over the last year I get tired quickly and have shortage of breath. I was shocked to be told by my new doctor that I have an underactive thyroid. My question is this! Is my heart contributing

Graves - blood test
I bit the bullet and have messaged the GP this morning and requested a blood test ... I'll wait and see if they'll allow it. I realised whilst crying AGAIN in the shower this morning that something was very wrong, as I was struggling to get up again this morning, unable to go for my usual walk and crying

hyperthyroidism
Hi I had blood tests 3 weeks ago which show an overactive thyroid. I started carbimazole 30mg daily and propranolol 20mg daily. I am due to be having surgery in 2 weeks to remove the right side of my thyroid. However, today I have been informed my FT4 has jumped to 28.2 and TSH is undetectable. Carbimazole
