Can anyone help me interpret my thyroid test results please?
I had a
thyroidectomy
7 years ago. I was on ridiculously high meds until was also diagnosed with Coeliac. Now take 175 mg of levothyroxine last thing at night. My levels aren't perfect but they're haven't been leaping about for ages, but they are again now.

Hypothyroidism/undermedicated with adrenal problems. What should I treat first?
Put on levo after
thyroidectomy
1992 due to cancer. NHS endocrinologist always dosed me with "suppression" being their sole aim. However, long story made short, February 2020 levo was reduced to 75mcg (present dose)...."suppression" was no longer the endocrinologists goal.

For one, I was under the impression from the forum that TSH, particularly post-
thyroidectomy
TSH, is a poor indicator of...well, really much of anything.

Latest blood results, TSH.. Bad again
so just have to wait for that response, she also noticed my very croaky voice which I've had since before my total TT, she examined my kneck then commented on my treatment of radioactive iodine therapy(ablation) and said some times the thyroid tissue can cause problems, OK I said but I've had total

Post Thyroidectomy, low FT3, high FT4 on Levothyroxine 150mg daily
I've got a spreadsheet if my meds and blood results before and since my
thyroidectomy
if needed. My question is how can I increase my T3 when Levothyroxine is not working. Endocrinologist- probably because if COVID is not interested in discussing my options.

Thyroidectomy, adrenal glands and blood pressure
There are people developed higher blood pressure post total/partial
thyroidectomy
, is that because the adrenal glands tried to compensate for the lost/reduction of thyroid hormone by producing extra adrenal hormone and hence increased in blood pressure ?

Every doctor wants to lower my NP thyroid dosage to raise TSH.
I cannot find a doctor who will accept the fact that I finally feel fantastic after 4 years post
thyroidectomy
while taking NP thyroid 60 mg a day.

Just got my blood results in.
To get a better understanding, please discuss these with your GP, who is likely to have previous results for you, hopefully, from after the
thyroidectomy
, for them to compare these to.

Looking for help on how to obtain T3 in the Uk
In 2012 I had a full
thyroidectomy
due to follicular cancer. My life has been gradually descending into hell since. Depression, anxiety, fatigue etc. I have always been socially awkward and these symptoms have amplified it massively.

Hobbies during lockdown
I knit little hats and angel dresses for the local hospital who were so good to me when I was a patient for 3 months after a thyroid storm in 2016, which resulted in me having a
thyroidectomy
....it’s a small gesture....🥰🤩

Can vitamin deficiencies suppress tsh?
I previously had hyperthyroidism and a hemi
thyroidectomy
to remove a 6cm toxic nodule in late 2018. Since then I have been increasingly unwell. So I've paid for finger prick blood tests with thriva. And my results are interesting.
