81 year old mum- secondary hypo?
I’m still trying to help my lovely old mum who has no diagnosis of thyroid disease but is still suffering from low mood and many of the symptoms I had before I introduced T3. She’s been told to return to doctor in a year unless symptoms increase. Her in range TSH has always confounded me, due to my

Normal Bloods, but enlarged thyroid.
Hi guys, I've read around the forum but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I have an enlarged thyroid both sides, and a lump on the right side, about an inch in size. I can feel the thyroid but its really only noticable by touch, by sight the swelling is only just noticable. My symptoms

Question around TSH levels
Hi, I have had no problems at all since having my Thyroid removed 3 years ago. My Levothyroxine does stabilised at 150 and my TSH levels have always been below 1. I have been feeling very tired the last month, developed tinnitus and tired eyes. I have just had my latest results and the TSH level is

What do I need to ask my GP for full blood test
I was newly diagnosed in January this year with Thyroid peroxidase antibody level 109IU/mL <60.00 IU/mL which I believe means I am Hashimoto's! However my Plasma TSH level was not high enough to be medicated 4.38 mU/L 0.30-4.20mU/L I posted my January blood results previously. I have an appointment

Self treating with NDT, a little advice needed please.
I would appreciate some advice from those with greater knowledge and experience of NDT as I have a few questions: •How to do I raise my FT3? •Is it Ok for FT4 to be under range when on NDT? •Can I realistically expect to feel 100% again? Progress is annoyingly slow. 1st GP Blood test: 06/04/2016

Refused dose increase today
My Levo dose was reduced at the beginning of the year based on my TSH. As expected I have had severe symptom return, the worst has been dreadful constipation and fatigue, crumbled nails and low mood. I have struggled badly for 4 months now. This morning I saw a new and young GP who I hoped would agree

Is there still a right to see a named consultant?
Hello. Several years ago I asked to see a particular endocrinologist who prescribes T3. When I phoned his secretary re an appointment, she said I could not specify seeing him unless I went private. Fortunately, the TPA (Thyroid Patient Assoc) had reassured me that it was my right to specify who I

What do latest blood results mean?
Please could someone help me interpret my latest results? At the beginning of the year my GP reduced my Levo from 150 to 125 as she said I was over medicated. I did as I was told for 3 and a half months and at the end of that period was pretty unwell with fatigue, aching limbs, hair thinning, my fingernails

Joint Group Meeting at House of Commons with Lord Hunt
Very good meeting at the House of Commons yesterday with Thyroid Trust, ITT, Midlands Thyroid Support, Norfolk Thyroid Group, TPA, BTF and BTA. It was agreed that we would all work on a document with evidence for Lord O'Shaughnessy regarding CCGs not adhering to NHS England guidance on liothyronine.

Bloods! What is Luc and Iga? Also TSH suppressed
Hi guys, I got my recent blood tests back and the doc wants to see me. I think she might be freaking at the TSH result (She has prescribed me nature thyroid and thinks T4 meds are not good enough). She also said to bring in past results and if TSH is suppressed previously that's probably ok. But would

A very, very sad indictment of treatment for those who are hypothyroid but don't find the benefit of levothyroxine or remain undiagnosed
It is a letter by a member of TPA who wrote a letter to be given to the Scottish Parliament in support of the case of Lorraine Cleaver has before the Parliament at present. http://www.tpauk.com/main/article/jacquelines-own-horrific-story/

Antibodies increasing in spite of dietary changes
I've had my bloods tested before going to see a specialist next week. One thing that surprised me is that my antibodies have gone up: TGA: was 234, now 353. TPA: was 33, now 34.8. I was just wondering if anyone had an idea why this might have happened? I've gone strictly gluten free. I'm also on next
