Preparing for GP appt
Hello I have a GP appointment in a few weeks to discuss blood tests results and symptoms (tiredness, weight gain, low mood, pins and needles). Based on what I've read on this forum, it sounds like these symptoms and results could be indicative of hypothyroid, but because TSH is within range I'm unlikely

Hi everyone, normally would fit profile of hypo, always tired, cold, hard to lose weight etc so doc put symptoms down to perimenopause, but a suspected heart episode one night led me to ask for bloods.TSH 0.01, T4, 49 and hypercalcemia both serum and adjusted. Decided to pay for ultrasound, three 6mm

How much salt is good for an elderly CKD patient?
I just read a reply to a 77 years old lady advising her to keep her salt low. I wonder if it is good advice for an elderly patient according to a study reported in the periodical Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation titled "Predictive effect of salt intake on patient and kidney survival in non-dialysis

Hi everyone, My first post here. I’d be interested in opinions on my most recent Medichecks results. Levels have been a little erratic in the last couple of years with the smallest possible dose changes (+/- 25mcg per week). I also have IBS. I’ve been in the hypothyroid game a long time so I’m very

Monitor my health laboratory results
Is someone able to explain why I feel unwell if my t3 is converting but t4 high. I did take the t4 two hours before as it was suggested I try this, but my t4 was also above range in March 24 following all the protocols on here for tests (both monitor my health tests). GP test in between these showed

Should I push for an ultrasound of my thyroid? I have primary hypothyroidism without Hashimoto's...
Hi guys, I'm back! 4 months ago I asked to go up on my dosage of levothyroxine (I was on 50mcg) but the GP declined. However, I had a blood test again yesterday and my TSH has gone up more, and my T4 dropped more, so they are letting me go onto 75mcg - result! As of the last blood test (yesterday), my

Taking Omeprazole with Levo
I had a total thyroidectomy in 2016 after having a thyroid storm……I have been on various doses of Levo over the following years both up & down doses (at one point only 50mcg per day!)…. I am now taking 75mcg per day & mostly don’t feel too bad….although medical professionals are trying to lower dose

I don’t know the scenario of these results
Hi I have just been given my TSH which is 0.20 & then the T4 11.10mcg/dl I didn’t ask for it. The lab obviously took the initiative. My GP note only said don’t worry we will test again in 8 weeks ? What would I worry about ? I have not been told what to do surely an adjustment ? My face is flushed

Due to trying for a baby I have resorted to a private nhs gp who specialises in hormone health. She put me on a methylated pregnancy multivit containing iodine as well as referring me to a functional
