Opinions on blood results
hi all, after an extremely disappointing call with the doctor today I was hoping for some advice. I’ve been on Levo for almost a year. 100mcg for the last 6 months. My blood test in October showed TSH just under 1. Tests a couple of weeks ago 4.71. The whole reason I went for another test and appt

Fed Up
Hi I posted a while ago about the brand of thyroxine I’m on (Accord), just had my blood results. Recently moved doctors. After getting my results doctor has advised if you take thyroxine the NHS will only test TSH now. My old doctors used to do T4 and TSH. I could never get T3 done. On a positive

GP & Endo Suggestions for brighton east sussex area?
So.. Had the same conversation with gp yesterday.. Even though my T 4 has fallen by 3.7 digits for no reason.. He still is saying I'm over medicated because my tsh is surpressed.. He actually said that whatever my T 3 and T 4 levels are, if my TSH is surpressed that means that I am over medicated.I

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

Hashimoto
Being diagnosed as a six year old with Hashimoto, which had already destroyed my thyroid I was always wondering what other treatment options are out there. Over the last some years I found out a lot about related illness that I have like high cholesterol, teeth problems, on and off iron deficiency etc

I was on 200mcg of Levo and alternate day 225mcg. I’ve reduce this down to 200mcg over 5 days and two doses of 25mcg over 2 days. Example

NHS Lab tests available to buy privately
Hi everyone, Not sure if I am allowed to name the lab but if one of the moderators will advise I would be grateful. To give you an idea of costs TSH FT3 FT4 TPO Antibodies would cost £42 Thyroid Peroxidase £29 Diabetes Vitamin D Total Cholesterol Thyroid £49 They have gradually built up the tests

Blood results - Any Advice?
Hi! Just looking for maintenance recommendations and any advice is greatly appreciated! Went to a new doctor (endocrinologist) to get a 2nd opinion on my thyroid condition. Of course, my goal is to heal and get off meds completely one day but she said she does not feel it is possible. Was first

T4/T3 levels
Hi. Quick question. I've just had blood test for TSH, T3+T4 after starting T3 in December from private Endo. I read in this forum that when starting T3 your T4 will fall, as will TSH. My TSH has been suppressed for years+no change since T3 added but my T4 hasn't dropped much at all:TSH <0.02 Free T4

T4 and T3 optimal 3 hours after thyroid meds, I feel great, but suppressed TSH is throwing a spanner in the works.
Hi, these are my recent results taken exactly 3 hours after I had taken my thyroid meds. (Normally, I wouldn't take my thyroid meds the morning of a thyroid function test, but my functional health doctor wanted to see whether I was overmedicating, worries about bone health....) I take 75mcg Levo and
