Taking Carbimazole and going out of range.
I am taking 7 mg carbimazole every day. My latest blood tests are abnormal . TSH 5.07 mlu/L 0.27. - 4. 2. Should I be taking more or less carbimazole to bring me into range. Thank you Val

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Rapidly gaining weight.
I've gained a stone in weight all of a sudden, in just over a month with most of it while I've been on a calorie controlled diet the past two weeks and staying well below the calorie limit. Could any of this be down to my thyroid? My latest test results were tsh 2.11 ( 0.5 -4.4 ) and t4 12.1 ( 8.9 -

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

Question re:periods
Hello everyone, Up until I started Levo in May this year I was having regular periods every 4 weeks. I think it was my own cycle rather than just an hrt “withdrawal bleed” from my hrt, as the periods were very heavy each time and lasted about 7 days. I had spells of missing a couple of periods here

Hi I posted a while ago about the brand of thyroxine I’m on (Accord), just had my blood results. Recently moved doctors. After getting my results doctor has advised if you take thyroxine the NHS will only test TSH now. My old doctors used to do T4 and TSH. I could never get T3 done. On a positive

GP & Endo Suggestions for brighton east sussex area?
So.. Had the same conversation with gp yesterday.. Even though my T 4 has fallen by 3.7 digits for no reason.. He still is saying I'm over medicated because my tsh is surpressed.. He actually said that whatever my T 3 and T 4 levels are, if my TSH is surpressed that means that I am over medicated.I

Blood results - Any Advice?
Hi! Just looking for maintenance recommendations and any advice is greatly appreciated! Went to a new doctor (endocrinologist) to get a 2nd opinion on my thyroid condition. Of course, my goal is to heal and get off meds completely one day but she said she does not feel it is possible. Was first
