Autonomy
An adult patient who… suffers from no mental incapacity has an absolute right to choose whether to consent to medical treatment… This right of choice is not limited to decisions which others might regard

NHS Lab tests available to buy privately
Hi everyone, Not sure if I am allowed to name the lab but if one of the moderators will advise I would be grateful. To give you an idea of costs TSH FT3 FT4 TPO Antibodies would cost £42 Thyroid Peroxidase £29 Diabetes Vitamin D Total Cholesterol Thyroid £49 They have gradually built up the tests

Hello, I’m still quite new to the group. History of hypothyroid 9 years. Less well controlled symptoms last 18+months. If I’m honest I’ve never felt the same since going through huge stress 5 years ago when my husband was having treatment for a serious illness right after I’d just had our second

Increase dose or maintain?
hi all, I’m on 75mcg of Levothyroxine for Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto’s. Latest result 1.92 tsh miu/L (range 0.3-5.5) My medication review is on Thursday, originally I thought I’d need to bring my TSH lower to feel well, but I now feel a million times better on 75mcg with no more symptoms

Anyone else feel the same?
Each time I have to go through the process of buying NDT I go through a series of emotions.1. Angry that in this day and age I have to buy meds from Thailand 2. That the NHS won't let us have the meds we need 3. The cost if these meds, how will I afford once I've retired 4. The fact the cost is highly

signs of mild hypothyroidism?
Hi there, New to this forum 👋 grateful to be here 🙏 I’m wondering if anyone could shine some light on my thyroid test results. In March 2023 my TSH was 0.98 (range 0.27-4.2), and my T4 was 15.5 (range 12-22) - this was done with a private GP so sadly no T3. These bloods were taken after 12pm and

Trying to learn again
Can anyone tell me why they test tsh when your on medication if it really serves no purpose. Isn't the free t3 and free t4 the main goal.

T4 and T3 optimal 3 hours after thyroid meds, I feel great, but suppressed TSH is throwing a spanner in the works.
Hi, these are my recent results taken exactly 3 hours after I had taken my thyroid meds.

I take 75mcg Levo and
