Zoladex and flu like symptoms
Hey. This may sound strange but does anyone suffer with flu like symptoms with the Zoladex? For the past 6 months I’ve had a number of ‘colds’ which seem to go straight to my sinuses but I have nothing else apart from feeling bunged up and absolutely no energy and achy. Just wondering if it could be

Medicheck results – help please
Today I received my results from Medichecks in preparation for my consultation with Roseway Labs next week. I wondered if you kind people could shed some light on the results, I’m a bit confused, especially with my ferritin which is now 429 (30-332) which was 43 (10 – 291) less than a year ago. I’ve

B12 or Menopause?
In Dec I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency <148 and low folate <2.2. I had 6 loading doses into the beginning of January plus a month of folic acid and felt better quite quickly. Since then I have felt worse again so I had another blood test last week. My b12 is now 559 which is normal and folate is

postpartum thyroiditis
I was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis in April after going to the GP with dizzy spells, raised heart rate and weight loss despite eating more due to increased appetite. My current TSH is 0.005 and I’m just feeling so rubbish with exhaustion (my 6 month old baby isn’t helping adding to this) and

Surprise at GP
had an appt this morning about gut/urgency issues and finally got round to asking what my very first TSH reading was, in August 2021, 3 months post hip replacement surgery. My understanding was that I was borderline - I didn’t even know what that was! I was retested six weeks later and a bit higher,

Clinic recommendations
Hi ladies, My second cycle failed today as the only mature egg collected failed to fertilise. I am looking to change the clinic as the protocols from my current clinic seem to be too mild for me and only 2 and 1 mature eggs have been collected in each cycle so far. I am 43.5 years old so time is of

I saw the endo last week. Told her all my symptoms but she didn’t seem interested just that my TSH and ft3&ft4 were in limits. She said a lot of my symptoms could be from something else or age related. I said about vitamins and she said she would do them so that I could take some to see if that helped

Could increasing Levothyroxine push me into hyperthyroidism
Hello, my TSH level is 2.35, up from 1.49 two years ago. I asked my GP for an increase in Levothyroxine as I felt better when my TSH level was lower. He said I was in the range and if he increased the medication from 100 to 125 he risked pushing me into hyper. Is this correct? I assumed the blood test

metformin & tsh level
does anybody have any experience with metformin lowering TSH level? I came upon a study that said it can lower tsh in hypo patients. My daughter has been on 500 mg metformin for years. Her tsh is always low and she has a ton of hypo symptoms. I have hashimotos and my gut tells me she is headed there.

Cyclogest pessaries
We are due to go for our FET on Saturday this week. I had my LH surge this Sunday at 10:30am. I always thought that the transfer was 5 days after? Which would be Friday? I am just wondering why our transfer is Saturday/ Not Friday? Or have I got that wrong? Also, I’ve been advised to take my progesterone

Success Yesterday! I’ve been prescribed T3! But should I reduce my Levothyroxine?
Hello everyone, currently feeling relieved and hopeful, I had my consultation with the Roseway Labs pharmacist and she agreed my FT3 level was too low (4.2 - range 3.1 - 6.8). She has prescribed Sigma Pharma 2.5mcg daily for the first 2 weeks and then 5mcg per day. Looking forward now to them

Help with results and my doctor
HI I've been having challenges with my doctor, who won't listen to me despite some great articles and advice from this group. Back in November my TSH level was 4.83 (range 0.35 to 4.94) and T4 14.0 (range 9 - 19.05). I was on 50mg of levothyroxine for my UAT diagnosed in Sept 23. She refused to listen
