Rapidly gaining weight.
I've gained a stone in weight all of a sudden, in just over a month with most of it while I've been on a calorie controlled diet the past two weeks and staying well below the calorie limit. Could any of this be down to my thyroid? My latest test results were tsh 2.11 ( 0.5 -4.4 ) and t4 12.1 ( 8.9 -

HRT question: how long did it take to feel the effects?
I have been struggling with crushing anxiety, insomnia, depression for a few months. It's unlike anything I have ever experienced. I started HRT last week, and am hoping for a little easing of symptoms soon! Just curious about other women's experiences. Please share!

thyroid and high blood pressure
Hi all So have been struggling to get a GP appointment to discuss my Thyroid meds. After MUCH sulking from me my medication was reduced to 75mcg from 100. Although I managed to hold out for 100 whilst I was on holiday- feel not so good so have been trying to get my meds reinstated. This since end

GP & Endo Suggestions for brighton east sussex area?
So.. Had the same conversation with gp yesterday.. Even though my T 4 has fallen by 3.7 digits for no reason.. He still is saying I'm over medicated because my tsh is surpressed.. He actually said that whatever my T 3 and T 4 levels are, if my TSH is surpressed that means that I am over medicated.I
