How bad is TSH 18?
For several years TSH has been consistent, thyroxine stayed the same at 100mcg. Last year TSH was 1.8, this year - 18!!! I know this is bad, but just how bad is it? I can't find anything helpful online, all any site seems to give is the normal range. They're going to begin by adding another 25mcg with

I wrote on here before about my results and you really helped. I’ve been trying to raise my ft4 and lower my tsh. I had been on 25mg levothyroxine and increased in increments of 25. After the first increase to 50 my tsh went down and ft4 up, increased to 75, first test after that ft4 rose slightly but

Second attempt at Monitor my Health results in hope to link with high HR
As requested here are the results of my second attempt at Monitor my Health at their more sophisticated tests with thyroid, anemia/ ferritin, b12/ folate etc too. Most failed to produce results as Post Office 24 hour tracking show the blood sample was literally sitting in the Exeter sorting office for

Mornings are torture. Racing heart first thing every single morning & exhausted (Hypo)?
Hi and thanks for any help! I am so unsure and worried what is going on. Can these be symptoms of hypo? It’s just I read these are more related to Hyper? but my bloods def are not showing hyper. I wasn’t too bad after I began 50mcg T4, then I increased to 62.5 as 75 felt too big a jump and I’m on

Is it OK if T4 is 12.2, and Free T4 14.9 please? Does the T4 affect how u feel or is the Free T4 the important element?
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please?I'm not on thyroid meds, but keep eye on thyroid due to Tsh up & down. Thyroid tested at Drs April,but 9.30/non fasting due to being fitted in for neuro symptoms for b12. Results then were TSH 1.53 (0,35-4.94) T4 12.2 (9-19.1) I've now done yearly fingerprick check

Still confused
I have just had my latest results from Monitor My Health, they are as follows:-Triodothyronine T3 4 4pmol/L (normal) Thyroxine T4 27.6pmol/L (high) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 0.02mu/L (very low) The last time I saw the GP (three months ago) he wanted to reduce my levothyroxine because he was convinced

hashimotos food changes
First post looking for guidance. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos many years ago but have arrived very late to all this info. There is a lot of advice about trying dairy free and gluten free. I’m willing to try this to see if it helps me. I feel like I’m really puffy in my face and my eyebrows have big

Lower dose Lower mood😓
Hi I've lowered my dose of Levothyroxine from 125mcg to 100mcg experimenting! As thought I was going into 'hyper' territory. TSH well under 1.0 for quite some time too. However, and I've noticed this before, if I lower my dose, my mood plummets. I just start feeling a bit 'numb' for want of a better

Testing TSH
Just wondering if anyone else has been told after one blood test that their thyroid is stable and won’t retest for a year! I thought when you first started blood tests were meant to be done every 3 months. That TSH through GP was monitored. Quite surprised that they think I’m stable after one blood test

US scan results
Morning all. I have had my scan results back and my GP hasn’t explained anything about my results. Didn’t ask me any questions. Just review repeat scan in 6 months. I questioned calcification, he said small and couldn’t explain anything. Hasn’t offered any blood tests recent TSH is 1.5 and taking 75mcg

Safety of testing 8-12 hrs after last T3
I'm trying to understand the rationale behind testing 24 hrs after last levo and 12 hrs after last T3. I realise it gives a higher TSH and lower T3. My endo asks me to test 4 hours after T3. He has never discussed splitting dose so assume he thinks it will be my full dose (in my case 10mcg). If we

Over 4 and half years ago I caught covid for the first time and ended up with high BP/ HR and put ( and left )on 5 hypertensives till this January when finally got a tilt table test and shown to have bad postural hypotension on standing for 8 mins ( accounting for faints), so obviously some BP drugs

Increase injections?
I currently self inject once a week - I started about 3 months ago as I was having lots of pins and needles and burning in my hands, arms and feet. GP agreed to 10 weekly injections and I’ve continued with those without mentioning the self injecting. I always had a really strong reaction one or two days
