ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH THYROID HORMONE EXTRACT
This is potentially a deeply concerning paper - especially given the way in which adverse events under desiccated thyroid are contrasted against those under levothyroxine. I think an awful lot of levothyroxine adverse events are not reported because so many have become just part of the scenery. I'd

Confused about blod test results. Advise appreciated!
I've been self medicating the last 3 years for low fT3 including all symptoms of hypothyroidism, but because my TSH always was within ref.range although in the high end, my endo wouldn't start treatment, but my GP was supportive of me self medicating. The last year I've been on T3 only, 50mcg/day with

Thyrotropin-producing pituitary adenoma simultaneously existing with Graves' disease: a case report
One of the favourite expressions of doctors appears to be from this: [i]Zebra is the American medical slang for arriving at an exotic medical diagnosis when a more commonplace explanation is more likely. It is shorthand for the aphorism coined in the late 1940s by Dr. Theodore Woodward, professor at

Update - Endo visit - don't know how I feel!
Well just back from my first endo appointment in 14 months!!! They've cancelled 1 and I cancelled 1 because they didn't send me the blood forms. Had problems getting them again this time too - my own Dr couldn't get the forms either, so he did the blood tests and I printed them out to take to endo

Levothyroxine absorption, liquid levothyroxine, issues and questions
I quote from this paper:

Reduced Thyroid Therapy-Im new here
Under active thyroid: my medication had been reduced from 150 to 100 micro-grams over several years. I now feel very tired, reason given was that I had osteoporosis and that by reducing the dose it would slow down my bone loss. My last blood test Jan 16 showed that my T4 was 14.5 and mt Thyrotropin

Help in understanding please
Hi I have been bounced around regarding any diagnosis for some years and keep getting the same response of 'blood tests are normal' and 'just lose weight' [despite weight not being my only issue] Today I looked through all my medical records and got a list of most the results on there [I had some carried

TSH test not suitable for monitoring thyroid when pituitary gland not producing TSH!
Well, I'm flabbergasted!! I had TRH test in July last year and then had MRI brain scan in August to see if my pituitary gland is working properly. No follow up until October with a endo registrar who had no idea of the results and said he woud speak to the consultant and would write to me. Nothing

What is your OTC Painkiller of choice for Migraine (UK)?
As we know, for some of us nothing really works to take away the pain - after years of trial and error with meds. Been through the spectrum of painkillers. By far I find the most effective to be Alka Seltzer, the effect of the aspirin and effervescence does offer *some* relief. That is, only if it's

Advice regarding atypical hypothyroidism with surpressed tsh and low t4 and t3
Hello everyone! I'm a 27 year old male who have been struggling with symptoms of hypothyroidism since June. However, my endo have told me that thyroid medication is not an option yet because he thinks that my current hypothyroid state is probably just a transient case of hypothyroidism. My thyroid

Reversible normalisation of TSH in patients with autoimmune atrophic gastritis who received L-T4 tablet form after switching to oral liquid
Absorption of levothyroxine is clearly an issue which has not yet been fully addressed. With absorption of tablets potentially varying between 50 and 80% depending on make and the person taking them (e.g. gut issues), there is plenty of room for people to vary greatly in requirements. Liquid products

Liothyronine Improves Biochemical Control of Congenital Hypothyroidism in Patients with Central Resistance to Thyroid Hormone
Rather than "Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and to determine the effect of combined therapy on neurodevelopmental outcomes.", shouldn't we be asking:
Where is the evidence of the effect of T4 monotherapy on neurodevelopmental outcomes?
Shouldn't that evidence

Isolated Adrenocorticotropic Hormone or Thyrotropin Deficiency Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Three Cases with Long-Term Follow-Up
Case three in this paper is of potential relevance to a number here. I am absolutely convinced that reduced pituitary function is far more common than is realised. In this case report the person seems to have been identified almost by luck. It makes a very obvious argument against relying on TSH only

TRH Test
I'm having a TRH test on Friday to see if I've got central hypothyroidism. The Endo doesn't seem convinced though. Are there any tips I should follow before the test? E.g fasting etc? Also if I have primary hypo with just a lower TSH do you know if this would show up on the TRH test or would it just

New paper /Clinical trial : taking liquid thyroxine
Readers might be interested in the results of a clinical trial on taking liquid thyroxine - published in Thyroid: February. Here is the abstract - the results might be useful to those taking liquid thyroxine; Background: Levothyroxine (LT4) is the recommended treatment for millions of hypothyroid patients

Determinants of TSH change in a community-based cohort

Homeostatic Control of the Thyroid–Pituitary Axis: Perspectives for Diagnosis and Treatment
Our advisers, Rudolf Hoermann, John E. M. Midgley, Rolf Larisch and Johannes W. Dietrich have just had another paper published in the journal, Frontiers in Endocrinology. The long-held concept of a proportional negative feedback control between the thyroid and pituitary glands requires reconsideration
