2nd endo appt PTU anxiety
hi, I was put on ptu about 6 weeks ago after my first hospital endo apt. 50mg twice a day. I’ve just been for thyroid bloods T4 (whenever I ask for my thyroid blood forms from my gp receptionist I get given different aspects it’s never the full range). So originally it was 34 (normal being 12-22) then

Graves - blood test
I bit the bullet and have messaged the GP this morning and requested a blood test ... I'll wait and see if they'll allow it. I realised whilst crying AGAIN in the shower this morning that something was very wrong, as I was struggling to get up again this morning, unable to go for my usual walk and crying

thyroid
would anyone consider that the above readings going back to 2017 might be the reason I’ve not felt well for a long long time. I’m waiting on results for a thyroid test I had done yesterday morning

ERFA vs Thyroid S
Hi Folks.Would people say that ERFA has higher percentages of T4 and T3 than in Thyroid S generally? I am presuming it's purer as there are less binders, fillers and chemicals in the ERFA. If anyone has switched from Thyroid S to ERFA, any advice on dosing levels (eg. had to increase or decrease, symptoms

Update to last post.

I was told I had a very small thyroid and this happens when you have been on Levo for so long (30 years) I’ve never heard of this, has anyone

accidental overdose of thyroxine
I’m on 100 mcg thyroxine and the kart prescription they only had 25 mcg so I was taking 4 tablets a day and then the recent prescription was 100 mcg. I’ve just realised today that I’ve been taking 4 100 mcg a day I think for 4 days from how many are gone. In a bit of a panic. I’ve rang 111 and they called

hyperthyroidism
Hi I had blood tests 3 weeks ago which show an overactive thyroid. I started carbimazole 30mg daily and propranolol 20mg daily. I am due to be having surgery in 2 weeks to remove the right side of my thyroid. However, today I have been informed my FT4 has jumped to 28.2 and TSH is undetectable. Carbimazole

enlarged thyroid
Hello, I’ve posted confusing information about my thyroid labs in the past but this post has to do with the size of my thyroid which is more definitive. I also have multiple thyroid nodules as well. My thyroid itself does not protrude out as one would expect with the size of each lobe. To make this

COPD & thyroid problems
After having what I thought was an elongated COPD exacerbation lasting over 8 weeks which has resulted in me taking 4 lots of antibiotics and 2 lots of steroids, it’s now been suggested that I may have a thyroid problem. I always felt the problem was in my throat region, with lots of throat clearing,

Serum selenium results
I just had my selenium results back today. 1.27 Umo/L ref ( 0.75-1.46) Was advised to get selenium tested as recent tpo antibodys were raised . Not sure now if I actually need selenium with this result ? GP advised selenium would help but I'm guessing depending on results which seem to be in range

Long term -confused - Thyroid & pain in neck?
Hi, I'll try and be brief. It's been over 3yrs since I thought I had a thyroid problem. I was fobbed off with antidepressants and it took me years to get off them. I am still having problems and I know it is not just anxiety! I suffer with DPDR - dissociation. I feel spaced out often and disconnected
