Biotin
I’ve just had a recent blood test and surprisingly my TSH has fallen. I’m on 75 of levo. Not having any symptoms of over active thyroid. I checked my multi vitamin and it has Biotin in it? Would this make a big difference- should I ask for re-test? Your Serum TSH level history The table below shows

Repeated Thyroid Test

herbs to help anxiety
people keep telling my to try ashwaganda to help with my anxiety. I have read that it can affect the thyroid and it is not recommended. I know when I took it previously that was included in a ‘rhealsuperfoods’ balance tonic powder drink along with maca root it definitely calmed me down but at the time

medichecks results help please
I had my thyroid function and vitamins result back from Medichecks and the doctors comments are overall very reassuring (great service btw). A couple I need help understanding.: My CRP HS Was high at 4.210 - I was/am at the very end of a cough/cold so assuming this could be the cause? My thyroid

Frequency of testing
Hello all,I'm sure this has been answered 100 times, but I'm having difficulty finding the information. My question is how quickly do TSH, T3, and T4 numbers react to a change of medication dose. 8 weeks? 12 weeks? Does TSH react more quickly than T3 and T4? I ask specifically because 6 weeks ago

Out of Date Erfa NDT
Hello, Can anyone tell me if they have taken out-of-date NDT? I have read that it may just be a little less effective but not harmful. Is this the case?

underactive thyroid
hi there I’ve had an under active thyroid for 8 years and recently gained weight and losing iron. My doctor has said my neck thyroid reading is ok but my “brain reading is slower” Does this make sense to anyone? Also, how do people take iron and vitamin d as I have read not to take it near medication

Carbimazole causing very short period cycles (+ rapid drop in t4 on low dose)
Hello I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in July 2020 after reporting feeling uneasy, shaky, urinating frequently and having some hair loss. My T4 returned to normal levels quite rapidly without medication. I have had since had flair ups (had my T4/TSH measured) and both resolved on their own.

Accord at last.
After a tremendous kerfuffle, drove across town to collect my Accord brand, to find later a text from my practice to say that after approx 6 weeks, I was to prompt a TSH blood test! Amazing considering I was told they were ‘all the same’! Also finally got my belated Medichecks annual Advanced Thyroid
