Having trouble getting my prescription
Please can someone advise if they have had similar experience. I put in my usual request at my GP for my thyroxine. I then received a txt message saying rejected on account of being too early and that I was overdue on blood tests. I had never been asked to have a blood test, if so I would have happily

Introduction and help navigating our NHS for Thyroid hormone replacement. Tips and support needed as it's a very tricky business.
Hi everyone. Been on my autoimmune thyroid journey for a few years now, was on 125mcg teva for a while, this dose almost suppressed the tsh, lowest was 0.003, it did however rise to 0.03. Gp reduced dose to 100mcg and TSH has now risen to 2.1. However (my bio gives loads of symptoms) I'm feeling steadily

Levothyroxine dosing
HelloI have hashimotos hypothyroidism. I was just wondering if it is normal for my TSH and antibodies to keep going up until correct dose is achieved or should I still see it coming down with each dose change? Thank you 😊

Longstanding hypothyroid, with now very low TSH
I've had hypothyroidism for 30+ years. I've only ever seen an endocrinologist once, and that was when I was first diagnosed. Since then I've had the yearly TSH check and it's always been mostly within normal limits, this despite my still having every symptom of hypothyroidism. Last week I had a well

T3 Advice
I have been on 112 Tirosint for 3 months. I am apathetic, irritable, sleeping a lot and have crazy muscle pains. Based on below labs, I convinced my doc to add in T3. She dropped Tirosint to 100 and said add 5mcg of liothyronine. Should I give it a couple weeks on just 100 before adding in t3? Should
