New Research Shows TSH Test an Unreliable Test of Thyroid Function - Press Release
Up to 15 percent of all hypothyroid patients on levothyroxine only treatment have a reduced quality of life compared to healthy people. This applies to patients on levothyroxine even when their test results suggests that they are on a sufficient dosage. The reasons for this phenomenon, affecting about

New paper showing inadequacy of TSH as a diagnostic tool and a method for best assessment of treatment
We have a new paper out as below, discussing the relationships between TSH, FT4 and FT3 and the need to use all parameters in determining best treatment for those of thyroid hormone supplementation. It is available freely to download if required. We're trying to get a modelling programme that would automatically

Anyone diagnosed with secondary hypothyroidism here? TRH test?
Hi I've been told I should be investigated for secondary / central hypothyroidism. I saw an endocrinologist who dismissed this himself, as my other hormones were in check, but TSH,free t4 and free t3 all low end of normal. Has anyone got this? If so how were you diagnosed and treated? Did anyone manage

Tanycytes control the hormonal output of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis
On this forum, as in much of the world of thyroid, we discuss thyroid hormones, the thyroid, the pituitary, iron, vitamins, and goodness knows what else. We almost never mention the hypothalamus. That is why I am posting this abstract. Not that I more than slightly understand it! But we should never

Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis Set Point Alterations Are Associated With Body Composition in Androgen-Deprived Men
Abstract Objective: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) given to men with prostate cancer is associated with metabolically adverse changes in body composition leading to insulin resistance, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We investigated prospectively whether androgen deprivation

Bloated constipation due to ibs

The multiple genetic causes of central hypothyroidism
OK - so it takes a bit of thought. But if you rely exclusively on TSH, as we see so often, it is simply impossible to diagnose central hypothyroidism. Yet it becomes fairly simple when FT4 and FT3 are also tested. At least, it should be enough to raise the question as to why the results are discordant

Fetal exposure to high maternal thyroid hormone (TH) levels causes central resistance to TH in adult humans and mice

Thyroid Hormone Therapy for Older Adults with Subclinical Hypothyroidism
I was thinking "There disappears your chance of getting treated if you are over 65." Then I remembered, that would only happen if they read the research… :-) The conclusion is interesting - it is difficult to accept the last paragraph as a fair statement given all the caveats in the paragraph immediately

Free Triiodothyronine/Free Thyroxine Ratio rather than Thyrotropin is more associated with Metabolic Parameters in Healthy Euthyroid Adults
Just how healthy were the subjects that [i]any [/i]of them went on to develop metabolic syndrome? Nonetheless, this is interesting in that it reinforces the importance of FT3 (even just as it relates to FT4 to produce the FT3:FT4 ratio) and reduces, again, the power of the TSH test.

Delayed TSH recovery after dose adjustment during TSH-suppressive levothyroxine therapy of thyroid cancer
Another paper pulling the rug from under TSH - at least in a limited circumstance. I doubt that the mention of cancer is at all relevant [i]except [/i]as to why the patients were on TSH-suppressive doses of levothyroxine. Surely it is likely to be the same even if it had simply been over-medication

Another clueless doctor!
Saw a different doctor at the surgery for a chest infection. He checked temperature and said "you're not running a temperature". I said that's because I'm hypothyroid and me temperature is always low. He says, "oh that's a fallacy, people with undetactive thyroids only "think" they're cold, they're

Over-the-Counter Thyroid Supplements
Do over-the-counter thyroid supplements based on animal thyroid glands contain thyroid hormones? The waters are very murky. How do you assess this when the manufacturers/distributors often claim they are hormone-free? Are these products consistent - as in always containing pretty much the same amount

Seeing Endo #2 - please help!
If you read my previous posts, this all started about a year ago. Thyroid tested several times (not all tests that should be done, though) and every Dr says since numbers are in-range, they're normal. Even saw an Endo that ran everything EXCEPT T3 (FT3 or RT3). She said I was vit D and B12 deficient.

Only you will get how exciting this is...
Ok, so we are taking our 7 year old away for the night to stay near a hotel near Longleat for a half term treat (in a vague attempt to beat the crowds in the morning). I take the usual deep breath (as am aware that eating out 9 times out of 10 has resulted in some unwanted symptoms reappearing). Plans
