Dad's results-help please in interpreting them for me!
My Dad had his TSH done only again on Sunday 2/7/23; his TSH came back over 2.0. He took the meds at 3.30am early saturday Morning and had the test done at 8.30am on Sunday. They were surprisingly lower than he test he had done in April when his TSH was 5.19 after taking his meds! My Dad thinks he

Disrupted sleep with increased T4
Hello dear Thyroid UK, I had thyroid cancer in August 2021 with part of my thyroid and a parathyroid removed. Since then, I've been trying to get an ideal dose of Levothyroxine T4. I did take a very low dose of T3 (Cytomel) briefly. I felt great alert-wise but experienced headaches, nausea and anxiety

Three months post surgery
I had a mastectomy three months ago. Overall it’s gone very well. However yesterday I started to feel incredibly cold and could not get warm. Took my temperature and it was 37.9. I still have some fluid around the scar but it’s manageable. However, now the fluid is firmer and it’s throbbing. It

Has anyone with endometriosis (particularly rectrovaginal) been fully cured after surgery?
Hi everyone, this is my first post on here - great to find a community who can finally understand the issues I am going through. I have had pelvic pain ever since I got my period 25 years ago, and have been misdiagnosed with so many different things, but finally had a diagnosis of rectovaginal endometriosis

Lymphedema after mastectomy & sentinel node biopsy
Hello,I was wondering if anyone has experienced lymphedema in their arm 1 year + after a sentinel node biopsy. I had a hysterectomy procedure yesterday and they told me I can't have IV's, blood draws or blood pressure checks in my right arm because they removed lymph nodes. I had a colonoscopy in October

Your thyroid and iron deficiency stories, please
My ferritin is now 7. (Safe levels being 13 and above). Haemoglobin is 114 (Safe levels used to be 120 and above but now all of a sudden are 115. Surely just a coincidence that it’s women who experience lower iron levels, as a rule. Surely). MCHC, transferrin, serum iron etc all out of whack, too

A brief respite and now back with a vengeance
I suffer from restless legs syndrome and was prescribed pramipexole. I started a reduction program several months ago and by September I was down to half a tablet today. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy 3 moths ago. Unbeknown to me the surgery temporarily raised my ferritin
