Does anyone know why, in people using NDT, the TSH readings tend to be very low, even when the T4 and T3 are within normal ranges? My GP is concerned that my low TSH readings mean I am at risk of osteoporosis, but since I am not hyperthyroid I don't understand why. My T4 and T3 are within reference

improved blood work, am I a good converter or do I need support?
I’m still not out of the woods yet, but I’m happy to see some improvement. Here’s my latest results. The not so good news is d-dimer is still elevated but has come down, cholesterol is the same, but hasn’t got worse, my sex binding globe is still high, I’ve overdosed on vitamin D, and TPO has gone

Help with not tolerating T3 Liothyronine
Hi again, This might sound like a stupid question but does Levothyroxine increase T3 or does it just increase T4 (and of course lowers TSH)? The reason I ask is that I have now been taking Liothyronine 5mcg once a day for over two weeks and I feel worse than just on Levothyroxine. If I increase to

Sadly I am still not optimal yet.
In May this year after 9 months of titrating up from 25-125mcg, I thought that I was finally there. TSH was 0.808 (0.27-4.20) and FT4 was 21.5 (11-22) and agreed to test after 3 months to see if I had stabilised. Sadly just checked the NHS app as bloods were done Friday and can see that my TSH is now

tsh results and rash
I’ve been on 50 microgram tablets since March 2024 previously was on 25 microgram for a year. Just had tsh done and it’s level 4.4. Ferritin 168. Both marked as normal. I’ve been suffering with an itchy rash on neck and scalp since June. Had prescription steroid creams, lotions, anti histamine tablets

Graves Blood Test food or not to food ...
So I was always under the assumption that I shouldn't eat prior to a blood test - I'm never hungry anyway so no bother - however, lovely vampire said "have you eaten anything? don't want you passing out on me!" I said "no - I generally don't bother before blood tests nor am I hungry!" she then told me

Should I increase T4 or T3?
Diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib in 2021 (in A&E), was on 75mcg Levo and 10mcg Liothyronine (not converting well from T4 to T3) Was doing ok with ranges of FT4 around 15 -17(12-22), FT3 around 5.2 -5.9 (3.1-6.8) and a suppressed TSH of around 0.1 – 0.005 (0.27-4.2). Was advised to drop T3 to 5mcg after

Is Levo the Pro Harmone any use at all?
I have been reading two books of Paul Robinson's: The Patient's Thyroid Manual and The Recovering from T3 books The question I have is something he writes about, which is: If more levo is taken and TSH reduces, then this process has a knock on effect hindering the T4 to T3 conversion. Therefore,

Where to buy Levo?
Hiya, My recent TSH result was much higher than I wanted (4.6), but apparently that is not enough to convince my doctor to prescribe more. 'Acceptable range' apparently, even though we all know differently. Can anyone DM me any websites where I can buy some myself please? Thanks, Mids_thyman.

What dose increase do you reckon?
I've been on 50mg of levo for 2 months. Just had bloods redone and results are: T4 15.9 (11.9-21.6) T3 4.4 (3.9-6.8) TSH 2.69 (0.27-4.20 (Before T4 was 11.4 and TSH was 4.16) I haven't got an appointment with my end for another 4 weeks as he's away. What dose do you think I'll end up being

New test results as been feeling yuk.
Decided to have another Medichecks two days ago, now six weeks post covid negative. I’ve been quite hyper, getting hung up on cleaning, sleep is all over the place, full of rage so I knew things weren’t right. Craving coffee (rationing to 2 a day) and sugar - my mouth doesn’t even want to realise I’m

Why do all my symptoms suggest hyperthyroid if my results show hypo?
Hi everyone! I got my thyroid results about a month ago - first time ever tested. My GP initially wanted to test my thyroid because of these symptoms: sudden severe anxiety, trouble sleeping, shakiness, palpitations. I've also had increased sweating and some diarrhoea (not bad). I've lost some weight

Update on swollen eye, low potassium and low BP now hypothyroid issues.
Finally got an emergency blood test yesterday, results today, GP did not ask for potassium which my symptoms were an exact match to low levels! As expected with the high dose of steroids, results all over the place. Liver (Moorfields thought it was the steroids last week), kidneys now and thyroid TSH

GP and TSH
After being parred off by my gp who was stating how tsh works and because my tsh is 0.008, i have too much levothyroxine in my body.He said to reduce my levo to 75mcg.I've currently increased to 125mcg. I'm feeling the best I've been for a long time and really don't want to feel rubbish again. I've left
