What should my optimal vitamin levels be please?
Hi there, I’m trying to get vitamin levels up to hopefully help with poor conversion. Iron was low and I’ve recently retested for that after supplementing for about 3 months. Ferritin is now at 65 ug/L Folate has dropped from >45 a year ago to 8.5ug/L My question is what should they ideally be?

Update to last post.
As suggested I wrote a request, via Patches, asking for a Gp to refer me to a private endo. I got an appointment for Today to speak to a clincian, who turned out to be a paramedic. He informed me that 'They' do not write referrals to private endos. I would need to approach one myself and if He/She wanted

Latest blood test results. Advice please!
Hello. I just wanted to ask some advice as the last two blood tests I have had showed a borderline underactive thyroid, but the GP won't do anything until the TSH is over 10. My previous blood test showed a reading of 5.9 mu/L. However, they decided to do yet another repeat blood test to rule out anything

TPO ab dropped to 'normal' levels
Good Morning all! I'm not here very often these days because largely thanks to the advice and support of the superstars here, my thyroid medication has been under control for a few years now. I hope this is a beacon of hope for those of you still battling through. I take my NHS t4 and I supplement

Doctor says T3 is unnecessary
I’ve got an underactive thyroid and have severe fatigue as well as other symptoms (dry eyes, weight gain, low immune system, eyebrow hair loss). I started levothyroxine about 3 years ago and am currently on 125mcg. Apparently I should have started treatment in 2014 after repeated infections and a

Post ectopic pregnancy
Hello, new here. Just wondering if anyone else had trouble conceiving after having a salpingectomy? And how long it took post surgery to conceive again? Im 36 and have only had one pregnancy in a year and a half of trying, it was unfortunately ectopic. Not sure if we should keep trying or go to our GP

walnuts
hello, I’m post breast cancer treatment and on tamoxifen. There’s been a bit of thyroxine wobbling as I started that so being monitored. I’m eating more nuts, particularly / including walnuts (good for Bc) for extra protein as I’m exercising and lifting weights. how long would you wait before

cost of t3
hi all I have been on thyroid sicca and my gp will no longer prescribe it. I am going to go private to try a t4/t3 combo. I did this once before and did well on it. I realise I will have a long drawn out battle to get this prescribed on the nhs. I wondered what prices people have been paying for it

Levothyroxine optimised?
Hi lovely people! My latest thyroid results were: TSH 1,27 (0,380-5,330μUI/mL) (18% through range) fT4 1,16 (0.38-1,40 ng/dL) (88% through range) fT3 3,79 (2,5-3,9pg/mL) (92% through range) Miraculously they finally tested fT3 for the first time, and I was so happy to see that I seem to be converting

Hi, thank you for letting me join🙂
I have a long history of Hypothyroidism. A lot of ups and downs on the journey. I was prescribed T3 quite a few years ago but then had it withdrawn because of cost. It took me 10 years to get it reinstated and get my life back on track. It's been a long battle. Am looking forward to connecting with others

Blood test results
Hi everyone, Been here a few times as I try and get my thyroid/iron levels good while TTC. Was pleased recently when my iron went up finally but now it, and my other thyroid levels, seem to have got worse. I'm not sure if this is because the test was taken on the last day of my period - would that

Octasa / Mesalazine - Should I be seeing more of a change?
Hello. I have struggled with symptoms for 2 years - loose, frequent bowels, always with urgency, fatigue, etc. Had colonoscopy and relevant tests and doctor says that I likely have crohns and is treating me as such. I had steroids for 3 months which generally helped (though my calprotectin was higher
