Could chronic urticaria be related to underactive thyroid?
I've had under active thyroid for 5/6 years and have been on a dose of 50mcg of Levothyroxine for all of this time. This year I developed chronic urticaria and then a different kind of dermatitis/eczema and I want to rip my skin off it's so itchy. This week I did an Advanced Thyroid Function Blood Test

How much salt is good for an elderly CKD patient?
I just read a reply to a 77 years old lady advising her to keep her salt low. I wonder if it is good advice for an elderly patient according to a study reported in the periodical Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation titled "Predictive effect of salt intake on patient and kidney survival in non-dialysis

Thyroid hormones in the regulation of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis
This paper is the fourth most-cited in 2023 from the Endocrine Connections journal. Basic thyroid research is interesting. It is read. Scientists and some medical professionals do want more understanding. As do patients. It gets pretty complicated but the point is, thyroid hormone controls temperature

ERFA Source
Hi. I remember from a long time ago, there is one stockist abroad that will sell ERFA without needing a prescription. I would be really grateful if anyone can tell me who it is by PM, thanks. I am desperate to try it as Thyroid S is no longer working for me. My health authority will not prescribe any

Reverse t3
I am thinking of ordering a private blood test to check my full thyroid status, as I am having symptoms but not sure it is thyroid related, or something else. My gp currently only tests my tsh to check up on my levels, I am currently taking Thyroid-S, which are always in the reference range. So I have

Heavy, prolonged periods
Could this be related to thyroid problems? All my life my cycles have been like clockwork. This last year though they've been extremely heavy, painful and long. I've actually been bleeding for over 2 weeks on and off now. It's really getting me down, and causing other very unpleasant symptoms. I developed

Are some private endos prescribing NDT so they can keep you as a private patient?!
Corresponding with a member on here today I found in writing a brief description of my private treatment that I am beginning to question some Endo’s motivation for trialling NDT first rather than Liothyronine. Is it maybe a cynical plan to keep you private as NDT is not available on the NHS whereas Liothyronine

Does Magnesium need a big gap around thyroid meds?
I currently try to leave 4 hours either side of both iron and magnesium capsules and thyroid meds. Do I need to do that with magnesium?

tamoxifen and thyroxine
if you started tamoxifen, how much did thyroid bloods/ dose need to change? I know tamoxifen causes fatigue and foggineess but also wondering if it’s thyroid too as I know it can interfere with things. I do have a blood tests in a couple of weeks.

UK or US Functional doctors that prescribe NDT
Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of you knows of any functional doctors specialised in the Thyroid in the UK or US. Since they work with clients all over the world, it probably doesn't matter where they are based. I bet in the US where they have more competition, some have more competitive prices

Thyroid results
Hi. I have been struggling with chronic fatigue and joint pain for almost 12 months. I have had Thyroid tested and all normal according to GP. I'm in surgical menopause and taking Testosterone, Oestrogen and Progesterone and all my levels are good for those so I'm wondering if it could be thyroid related

20% of autoimmune thyroid patients never have high thyroid antibodies and ultrasound scan of thyroid can get diagnosis. What would show up on the ultrasound scan to indicate hypothyroidism

Private Test Results
Hi I've just got my private test results and would like to know if these are ok. The test was only a cheap one so don't have any vitamin results. I have been taking T3 1 x 20mg for 2 weeks now and although my GP said I should have a test after 6 weeks, I decided to do a private test. The main reason

Oestradial HRT & the thyroid, Lenzetto blood tests
I just wondered if low oestradial affects the thyroid? I have been on HRT since March and my level is still only 197 pmol/L. I use 3 sprays of Lenzetto. I wondered if it could be affecting my thyroid function? I don’t have menopause symptoms, I had bottom of range testosterone, but this is now in range
