menopause and thyroid health
I’ve tried to Google looking for some information, not sure if I’m just not searching using the correct wording. Does anyone have any research articles that addresses any effect menopause can have on our thyroid function? A thought crossed my mind, so bear with me. Some of us get diagnosed with

Asymmetrical Transport of Thyroxine Across Human Term Placenta
This new study https://pure.eur.nl/en/publications/asymmetrical-transport-of-thyroxine-across-human-term-placenta is behind a paywall. I have a copy, it’s not easy to follow but essentially says little T4 crosses the full term placenta from mother to baby but T4 rapidly crosses from baby to mother.

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

Blood Test results - help please
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

How much reduction in dose to lower TSH to please the specialist???
In July I saw an endocrinologist who found my TSH of 0.025 alarming. He wanted to lower the dose because "Low TSH can cause heart complications." (Eye roll) As many of you pointed out, it's not the TSH that's the problem. Is there sufficient, but not excessive, thyroid hormone to support cellular energy

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

"Your thyroid's fine"...what do you think?
Hi. I've been told by a GP that my thyroid is fine. I don't think it is. I'd be grateful for your opinions. Like many others here, I'm fed up with Dr.s saying it's my age, the menopause, or there's nothing wrong. Medichecks results: May 23 Thyroglobulin Antibodies: 423.000 kIU/L (Range: <115
