Dose increases but TSH rising and T4 and T3 falling
Hi everyone. I have been gradually increasing my dose of levothyroxine. After an increase I feel better for a while then worse. Over time, the more my dose has increased the worse my biochemistry seems to be. I wondered if anyone could help me to understand what is going on. I started off with

When a Lie pays off !
About a month ago daughter in law came over, asked how she was, she broke down crying. She said she felt awful in so much pain, sat her down and asked about symptoms, I already knew she had many red flags, pins and needles,fibroids awaiting hysterectomy etc, she said she felt like a hypochondriac. Well

I’m not sure what I’m asking here, maybe some advice or experiences from others for reassurance… After suffering with extreme pain during my cycle for years I was finally offered a laparoscopy which went ahead 4 weeks ago. Since then I have had a period which lasted twice as long as usual and was more

It is worth persevering!
I thought fellow RLS sufferers would be interested in the following sequence of events. Following advice from people on this website I wrote the following letter to my doctor: "[i]Dear Dr C,[/i] [i]I have suffered with severe Restless Legs Syndrome for four months now, often not being able to get to
