I'm hypothyroid...is this an ok time to do Regenerus Cortisol Saliva Test?
Here is some background info: I had
thyroidectomy
1992 8 weeks ago thyroid test results were shocking! TSH 11.9-------T4 at bottom of range-----T 3 tad in range. Hence levo was increased from 50mcg alternative days, to 50mcg daily. Been on 50 levo daily for 8 weeks now and done retest today.

TSH level increase after total thyroidectomy(8 years ago)
I had a total
thyroidectomy
8 years ago due to papillary carcinoma. Recently, I had a knee surgery and during a subsequent blood test, my TSH level was checked and found to be 4.5. However, I had taken my medication (euthyrox 150mg) on the morning of this blood test.

thyroidectomy

Graves and Carbimazole update
What concerned me was his statement that if remission had not been achieved and in 3 months levels are creeping out of range again that the only solution would then be
thyroidectomy
or RAI ablation.

Has anyone whose tried T3 and NDT felt better on just T4?
A little bit of history -
thyroidectomy
aged 21. More or less fine on just T4 for 20 plus years. I then saw an Endo about parathyroid issues in 2018 at which point he suggested ERFA because he felt lots of my symptoms were related to my thyroid and T3 conversion.

T3 and T4
I had a
thyroidectomy
and have hashimotos, although I was over active rather than under. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this is all a bit scrambled.

Blood results interpretation required
I tried natural remedies but they mess up my vocal cord (I got one which is paralysed as a result of the
thyroidectomy
and whilst I can talk more or less as a normal person, it is by putting a lot of strain on the healthy one so anything with lemon or vinegar is a no-no.

Can change in my levothyroxin tablet product or dose cause me dizziness,internal heat, feeling sick and missing my steps on the stairs.
I had my total
thyroidectomy
done and was fine on 100mcg of levothyroxin for 4 years. Later, I have to change my levothyroxin product because it was unavailable in the area I moved to in the UK. I immediately started having motion sickness in the car with the new product.

Help/advice urgently needed please...dosage increase or not
I am hypothyroid.....had a
thyroidectomy
due to cancer 1992.For reasons, too complicated to go into (mentioned in previous posts) NHS endocrinologist reduced levo dose to 50mcg alternate days in August 2023 because T4 was over range despite a prior decrease of levo.

Private Endo and T3
Had total
thyroidectomy
2 years ago. I had my private consultation with the Endo 2 weeks ago and he proposed a 3 months trial of Litho - 20mcg a day - split 10mcg on waking (7am) and 10mcg at 2pm (I have a pill cutter) and reducing my Levo to 100mcg for 6 days and nothing on day 7.

Hypothyroidism help
I had a
thyroidectomy
in 1984, to remove benign growths. The surgeon said about 25% thyroid remained, but he thought I would not need subsequent medication. I was not told to have regular thyroid function tests, and carried on with my busy life.
