Help!
Hello, My first post here and looking to see if anyone can share some perspectives or stories (as a side note, I do have a Doctors appointment to follow up in late March so not trying to diagnose myself here).
Backstory:
Radiation therapy in 2011 to head and neck due to lymphoma. Last two

unusual test results
why would my T3 be high in the range with T4 mid range? After a few hard months of GP changing my meds I’m now back up to 175mcg of Levo. Just had my results and they are nothing I’ve had before it’s always T4 above my T3 .Just wondering why and what might have caused this ? TSH. 0.11 0.55-4.78

IUI vs. IVF
Hi, Firstly let’s tell you a bit about mine and my OH’s situation. We’ve been TTC for 2 years, I’ve had an internal ultrasound, HyCoSy - all fine and clear. My AMH is normal and I have regular periods. My OH’s results are also all normal apart from low sperm count. so we’ve been told to go for IVF

Advice before I see the endo
hi oracles I could really do with some advice as to what I should do next. I’m going to see my Endo next Tuesday and my TSH is under the range, she’s going to want to reduce my meds and I don’t know what I feel anymore. Here’s my last results from private tests from 2 weeks ago … TSH - 0.154 Range

Help with introduction of T3 please…..
Good morning, I would truly love some guidance on how best to introduce T3. My private endo has now prescribed T3 to commence with 5mcg twice a day. He would like me to drop my levo from 100 to 75 at the same time. I am trialing T3 due to poor conversion and all the usual symptoms which accompany

Worried about these results please help
Had this blood test done in January and had text to say book a non urgent appointment and just put it off also getting print out from docs they’ve requested a telephone consultation which I’ve eventually booked but looking at it I know the TSH is low in their opinion and obviously cholesterol too high

Is four weeks enough time to lower TSH?
My partner and I are currently going through fertility treatment, I had my TSH tested which shows my levels are slightly elevated. At 4.2. The NHS threshold for treatment is 4.9, however the fertility clinic have prescribed thyroxin (50mg) and to be retested in 4-6 weeks, to get my TSH to 2.5 or below

Undiagnosed for too long
In a nutshell: Undiagnosed and not on medication Ultrasound scan showing autoimmune thyroiditis (not acknowledged or lost in system by GP practice) Latest blood tests: T4 is 9% through range Horrible symptoms Familial history TSH does not rise as T4 falls (TSH always within range) I have been waiting

Latest endo appointment. Will not increase T3 as TSH now low!!!!!
About 6 weeks ago, because of a change in make of liothyronine I made a mistake and instead of taking 2 x 10mcg tablets, I took 2 x 20mcg.When I realised, I anticipated the worst. However, I was fine, in fact more than fine. My prescribed dose was 30mcg daily. But, I started to take 20mcg twice daily

[i]Causal relationship between thyroid dysfunction and hallux valgus[/i]
Hallux valgus is commonly referred to as a bunion. The paper is complex - but the take-home is that there is a genetic relationship in at least some patients between hallux valgus and hypothyroidism. Another one to add to the list... [i]Causal relationship between thyroid dysfunction and hallux

TSH is now 0.13 is this ok?
Hey there, Serum TSH level: 0.13 mIU/L Normal range: 0.35 to 4.94 After nearly a year of fighting with my GP over meds amounts and optimal ranges, my TSH is finally below 1 after initially being 8-9. I do feel markedly better at times but still have bad days perhaps due to hashimotos and not

Some advice before a battle with GP!
Hi all, hoping someone on here can advise me on the best approach to take to get my GP to take action! Every blood test bar two that I have had over the last 5 years has shown high TSH, generally between 6 and 10, and always over the high reference range. However, despite several GP visits they refuse
