back again - people saying I have thyroid issues - I don’t know what to do?
people keep saying my mood etc could be thyroid related and weight gain. here are my trackers of thyroid… I’ll post the rest below this. I don’t know what to do as I think my HRT is doing this. GPs won’t listen. I have no relationship with them at all. What are your thoughts?

Can I get Armour Thyroid or NDT from Crete without a prescription? Can I get it with a private prescription if not?
Hi everyone, I have been on Armour Thyroid for 22 years , I’m now 44. I was originally trialed on levothyroxine but there was absolutely no improvement, I was severely ill from a teenager, bed ridden with chronic pain and it was only when I was put on Armour Thyroid in my early 20s that I started to

Prescribed NDT on NHS now doctor refusing to prescribe. Help!
I has to move GP Practise and before moving to current one I asked to speak to a GP. Receptionist said it wasnt necessary if a nhs consultant has recommended they will prescribe. So wouldn't get a doctor to phone me. I moved. All seem good but my repeats were not being set up. So became concerned.

NDT dosing where insomnia is an issue
Interested to hear how others do their NDT dosing where insomnia is a big issue. I’m about to have a NDT increase (currently 4 months into treatment, at 3/4 grain) Insomnia is chronic. Horrible. Even on 20mg amitripyline, it’s still an issue. I recently tried one dose NDT at 6am because I thought

TSH = 215 Free T4 = 16 What does this tell me? GP says it is satisfactory. What are the ranges for healthy thyroid results please?

Thyroid Madness continued
Well, I won't be multi-dosing again unless it synthetic T3 and T4. I'm at the YMCA and I'm very unhappy with the shape of my body. I gained weight around my middle. I don't think my legs look this bad. Maybe I'm in denial. However,, I would like to add T3 to my NDT if I could. I don't believe I'm going

First time posting here with questions
Hello, I was wondering how to tell if you need b12 injections when you take oral b12 and your serum b12 always comes out looking great? I haven't had it tested recently but past tests always come out way over the range. Anyway, I saw a post by @Marz in which she said that she takes b12 due to having

I had blood tests done with medichecks last week. They are as follows. I have been feeling reasonably well with almost no fatigue, just the odd day but getting less. I'm on 50mg of thyroxine. I did the test first thing and stuck by all the rules that are required for a proper result. I am gluten free

Cannot get my TSH in range - help needed please, should I switch to levo?
Hello, I’ve been taking Thyroid-S NDT for 6+years and I’ve been trying to get my TSH to be close to range but cannot seem to get anywhere. I’ve tracked my ranges from 2022 and I’m still no closer. I’m nervous as when medichecks send my results they always say there’s higher risk of heart issues and osteoporosis

TPO result.
Hi, according to my test results, I have raised TPO antibodies. Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 99.7 kIU/L 0 - 34 Am I right in thinking this is potentially indicating Autoimmune/Hashimoto's? Thanks
