Recently diagnosed
Hello lovely people. I’ve been reading posts for a few weeks now, having discovered this amazing site. I was diagnosed a month ago and have been taking Levothyroxine 50mcg for 3 weeks. I’ve put all my blood results on my bio and am thinking I probably should have put them on a post? Anyway, basically

advice re thyroid antibodies
Hi. I have Hashimoto’s and my antibodies remain high, can anyone advise on the adverse affect this might have on me and how I might reduce them. Thyroglubin are 4000.0 from range 0.0-115.0 with Peroxidase 216.0 from range 0.0-34.0 At last blood test my Free T4 was 7.7 range 7.0-17.0 and TSH 4.85 range

Dr’s appointment this morning to discuss dose increase for my daughter, ‘urgent’ help required 🙏
Good morning everyone, My daughter (17, nearly 18) was diagnosed with hypothyroidism is the summer, initially prescribed 25mcg which was obviously inadequate so she requested dose increase which was granted. She’s been on 50mcg since beginning of September, she initially felt an improvement in symptoms

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

Not Fibromyalgia: Not CFS
I haven't visited here for some time. Following major surgery for head and neck cancer I developed terrible fatigue which included a ton of symptoms. Covid was rife and no appointments were possible with a GP. Not much better now either. I was in a real state both physically and mentally so emailed

1st blood tests since Levothyroxine
Advice please. I started Levo about 6 weeks ago prescribed 25micrograms. On advice here I’ve been taking 50 instead. My last bloods are below and my tsh is now slightly higher than it was as previous test. A dr commented that I am on the correct medication (at 25 micrograms) but I thought I was meant

Graves Disease, Hyperthyroidism and Supplements
Hi All I used to have a lot of pain in my joints I think is because I was taking a lot of supplements. Supplements taken: vitamin D apple cider tablets turmeric calcium magnesium When I was diagnosed with Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism I stop taking all supplements. The TSH reduced 50%

NDT has raised my thyroid anti-bodies. What's next?
Hi All, As I just made a post with my update on NDT (good T3 and T4 levels, but TSH is 0.017, so too low), I received my latest anti-bodies results. And they went up! I've heard some people shared how their anti-bodies went up as well on NDT. Yes, I'm on a gluten-free, whole food diet, been on

Dr Georgina Conway or any other recommendations?
Dear Friends, Please could anyone PM me any thoughts on Georgina Conway or any other good options for a sympathetic endocrinologist. I have given up with the NHS and want to try T3 or NDT if it is deemed appropriate. If it were possible to find someone who would treat me initially privately and then

What TSH level is too low on NDT + low sodium
Hi All, I switched to NDT 6 weeks ago and have been dialing in my dose. I take Erfa NDT. I raised it up to 1 3/4 tablets, and have just tested my thyroid. I've read a lot of discussions here about NDT and TSH and from what I understand, from this big study when TSH gets lower than 0.3, it increases

hair loss after thyroid removal?
hi all, I’m due to have my thyroid removed through surgery because of Graves’ disease that is constantly relapsing and getting harder to manage. I’m getting more and more worried about the after math though. just wondering do many people experience hair loss after thyroid removal and if so is it Mild

Can anyone advise what these results mean please? I am not on Thyroid meds but feel something is very off, I’m in perimenopause also. These results were 7 months ago. I’m losing hair, shaking inside, cold all the time, weight loss. I’m on HRT. I had iron deficient anaemia in 2020. Feel like I’m going

Quality of life questionnaire for hypothyroid?
Hi there, I've literally been diagnosed with hypothyroidism a week ago and started levothyroxine today, and feeling quite irritated really as it's clear to me now I've obviously had this a long time. TSH is 14.7 which doesn't seem great from what I am reading. What eventually got it diagnosed was me
