Should I reduce dose slightly? T3/T4 combination therapy
Hello lovely people. I recently had my bloods done and met with my endocrinologist, and wanted to ask your thoughts. I am currently on 87.5mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily. I feel better than I have in a long time, though possibly slightly anxious (difficult to tell though as I am prone to anxiety

Under active Thyroid gland and FND
My son recently got his blood results and it was noted his Thyroid levels weren't in range and a re-test due in 3 mths, my mother had it too, so will be interesting to see my results in a few weeks time.I was however surprised to see how many of the symptoms he has/is experiencing, associated with FND

Hi Everyone I was diagnosed with myxoedema hypothyroidism in 1989 and have taken 150 mcg Levo ever since. I am also coeliac. My new GP has recently queried my TSH and says I have been over medicated for a long time - since 2014 my TSH has been around 0.05 and my T4 in the upper range around 18. My

question about vitamin levels
I’m Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering When our vitamin levels are at a good level , does that in turn make our thyroid levels mainly our TSH T3 T4 levels to rise when TSH is under range. It just got me thinking as I’m been prescribed folate for 3 months by the doctors & will

when does your low TSH stop following you around the NHS?
This morning had a long ‘ difference of opinion’ with a consultant of ‘Geriatric falls and syncope’ about my raised HR ( c.95-115) following various BP/HR problems with 3+ years of Long Covid…she had decided it was likely related to my low TSH suggesting I was over medicated for hypothyroidism. All

Endo blood test codes
Hi after my recent post about rising TSH I asked my nhs endo to do the reccommend thyroid blood tests. I have received the blood test form today but am not sure what some of the codes mean. I know he said he couldn’t do all of them so I wanted to work out which to pay for privately. I recognise

Can't figure out what's wrong with me?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with Graves in Feb 23 (though I'm not actually sure as I tested negative for thyroid peroxidase and TRab, feel like my endo just defaulted to Graves as I didn't have any nodules). I've been on carbimazole since and T3/T4 has been good, TSH has generally always been high and bouncing

Doubling Dose of Thyroxine?
Hi, I’d like your thoughts and opinions (I’ll make the decision 🙂) on doubling my thyroxine dose by taking two tablets per day. I’m on 50mg, been at that for years, but I still feel cold especially feet and hands. My TSH level is 3.28 and whilst it might be in range, I understand it should be more around

Doubling Dose For Hypothyroidism?
Hi, I know this is not the thyroid thread. I’m here because I’m B12 deficient, SI with hydroxocobalamim. But because it’s an autoimmune problem I sure a number of others are affected by hypothyroidism hence my desire to get thoughts and opinions (I’ll make the decision 🙂) on doubling my thyroxine dose
