His sugar is always below 100 when tested, he takes levothyroxine for low thyroid (waiting for over 2 weeks now on latest blood work and TSH results from PCP. *sigh* He's taking a statin (can't remember the name) and Tamsulosin. Current cancer treatment

Insulin resistant & query about blood results
Good afternoon, Please can someone advise if my bloods are acceptable. I had to nag doctor to increase my dose from 125 to 150mg and now fear although I am starting to feel better in myself that they will reduce dose down again when I see them my blood sugars are also out of range - a clinical trial

Advice following house move to another county
Good Morning, we recently moved to another county and have been referred into central Endo/Diabetes service (Aintree Hospitals). Currently still with Lancashire service but l current locum Endo is appalling and only seems to measure against TSH levels and continues to try to reduce based on that

Chat with GP. Disappointed.
So recent post my TSH is still high I feel at around 4 but just in range but I know and told him about the facts and figures for it and still having symptoms and declined an increase. I feel I should do it myself. .. I can’t afford to see an endo or such so pls don’t suggest. I don’t know what to do?

Dose change - feeling AWFUL
As per my previous post, my TSH was over 4 on 50mcg, so I did a week on 62.5mcg and now a few days on 75mcg. I feel terrible. So tired, weak, muscles ache, headaches. I’m still on the Wockhardt brand as it suits me best. I read somewhere this can happen if your cortisol is low. I had low 9am readings

New results from GP blood test
So the saga continues. Previously battles with GP over meds, even though I am open and honest about self treating T3 and SI B12, trying my best to impart some knowledge or even a little common sense. Reluctantly reduced Levo a bit, from 150mcg to 125mcg daily. Last bloods 15/12/23, TSH 0.01

Hi! I was treating my thyroid for years, and in 2020, my endocrinologist assured me that everything was fine. However, she advised me to start planning for a baby before turning 30. Now, at 28 years old, while trying to conceive, I visited an OB-GYN where I did hormone tests. The results revealed

Indigestion
I have a dull ache down my breastbone which comes and goes. Although I have a mild heart murmur it has been diagnosed as gastric related and I’ve been given Lansoprazole to try. I’m concerned as one of the side effects is osteoporosis of the hip - I already have osteopenia. Is this type of issue linked

Erfa vs Thyroid S
Has anyone tried both? I know that everyone is individual and will react differently to medication - but just wondered what people's experiences were?

How do I read a thyroid blood result?
TSH = 215 Free T4 = 16 What does this tell me? GP says it is satisfactory. What are the ranges for healthy thyroid results please?
