Help with results and GP recommendations
I have been struggling with Hashimoto since 2016 probably undiagnosed for a long time. My TSH results at the GP have always been around 3-4 and the GP always said your results are in range but I was feeling knackered. I have seen a few a functional medicine doctors over the years while they have helped

Hashi's Flare? Lab Results Help
Hello! About a month ago, I had worked my way up to 45 mg of NP Thyroid. I felt okay but not great. I started working on my vitamin levels and cracking down on gluten again. At the same time, I went through a few weeks of severe stress, which suddenly led about a week of feeling what I would describe

Armour or the single pill - hair loss
Hi Has anyone got Hashimotos and tried Armour or been on the progesterone only pill? As about three months ago I went from NP to Armour NDT as my TSH was nearly 4.5 taking 1.5 grains of NP (I have always taken 1.5 of WP and done ok on this) But then at the same time I also changed from the depo injection

New bloods - confused about iron study outcomes
Good afternoon Fabulous people – hoping for your wisdom again. I had new bloods on 10th June (8 week check on levo dosage). I knew that the NHS bloods wouldn’t test FT3 and FT4 (even though they were specifically requested on the form by the GP). I ordered a medichecks test to test these privately.

Another Laparoscopy? Help!
Hey so some of you may know me and my story. For those that don't here's a summary; I'm 37, I've been diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2017 through my diagnostic lap, the specialist performed an excision around my bladder and uterus (stage 4). In 2018 I had a planned further excision of endo from my bowel

Your opinion on some test results
I’d be very grateful for your opinion on where I’m at after an increase in Levothyroxine and some recent test results. I’ve included some past results to show a comparison. I feel an improvement in some ways, especially sleep, memory, brain fog, sweating and constipation, and I’ve been able to introduce

Low BP and more fluids
Hi. Since I haven’t filled in my profile yet I’d better fill in a few details here. I had breast cancer 4 years ago+ Mastectomy, chemo and Herceptin. I now have moderate HF with low EF caused by treatment. I am being treated with Ramipril and Carvedilol. I have no symptoms. But now my BP tends to drop
