This is an update to all the kind folks who were so concerned for me trying to stop medication. Just letting you know I made it six weeks without levo but my tsh shot up to 9.1 in a range of 0.36 to 3.74. Needless to say I am back on meds starting over with 25 and moving to 37.5 in another day.

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
I posted a few days ago about my doctor reducing my thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg. I managed to speak to another doctor who said to take 100, 100, 75 for a month and then 100, 75, 100 etc for a month and then test. Does this sound ok? Not sure what dose they’ll know to put me on though even if the

Should I be worried about suppressed TSH
I am extremely well and all my bloods seem within normal range to me (but not the GP)! I am 61 years old and was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroditis and Chronic Fatigue in 2004. My only health issue is very erratic sleep (one night 8 and a half hours, the next 4) which I handle by resting in the afternoon

TRAB (TSH Receptor Antibodies)
Does anyone know where the cheapest private blood test for TSH Receptor Antibodies can be found? Most tests I see include TPO and TgAB but not TRAb or TSI Ab. Specifically looking for this test for regular monitoring after discussion with an endocrinologist.

Possible to be both Hyperthyroid & Hypothyroid?
Hi guys, So have just been to my GP and as advised on my last post I requested to increase my Levothyroxine by 12.5mg to see if I'd feel any better. My GP said that as my TSH is 1.44 I'm in the sweet spot and an increase isn't required. She then went on to inform my that I had been Hyperthyroid initially

High cholesterol and high TSH with mixed connective tissue disease
Hi. I've been diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. Has anyone else experienced cholesterol going up in tandem with TSH? I also have high blood pressure (150/90). When I questioned an NHS endo about the relationship between the high cholesterol and MCTD, he dismissed it completely.

Update on appointment re Low TSH
The Endo was very compassionate and understanding, spent a long time with me (35minutes +) going through absolutely everything, listened to all the information I had ( thank you team!) and everything I wanted to ask etc. Initially she suggested lowering my Levothyroxine (no surprise there), but agreed

Suppressed tsh 0.03 on Liothyronine, is this as much of a worry as consultant says please?
Bit of a long story sorry but I just need a moan with others who undestand. I restarted Liothyronine Jan 23 on nhs but my consultant will not endorse any increase whatsoever. I am just so tired most days it hurts, can't shift my weight unless I starve and unfortunately I don't sleep well so that doesn't

Why is my TSH so low when my T4 T3 are so low?
Hi all can some please explain why my TSH is low despite my T4 T3 being low. Correct me if i have got it wrong but i have come to understand that TSH is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate release of more thyroid hormones if levlels are too low. Since 1993 i dont have a thyroid so i am on

Gluten or dairy free?
Hi everyone. I have posted previously about raised antibodies (Anti-TG 347 range <115, and Anti-TPO 53.6 range <34) Now having got my head around this, I can considering a gluten free diet to try to reduce the inflammation. My thyroid appears to be working normally - most recent results with a 9am

Background I have a lifelong hereditary condition known as FAP. Because of this I have had several surgeries to remove my whole colon and rectum. In 2009 I had surgery to create what is called a J pouch, which is made from approximately the last 40cm of terminal ileum. Current issues. Recent blood
