Change in thyroid tests as I taper Prednisone
I am 3.5 years into PMR. Honestly can't remember what my Levothyroxine dose was before I was diagnosed however throughout my battle with PMR I was taking 100mcg. and GP added 5mcg Liothyronine in 2020 as I apparently wasn't converting my T4. I had finally tapered to 5mg of Pred in March 2023 and my

Hello, Happy 2024 to everyone! May it bring you health and happiness! Ive had a crazy year with Thyroid-s and while i like the feel of the medicine - im not sure it loves me back! At 1.25 grains my results where tsh 0.6 and ft3 just in range, while t4 slightly under. I tried increasing to 1.5 grains

Additional folate supplements
Hi, I’m not diagnosed. T3 and T4 low TSH creeping up to 2.5 but according to blood tests I’m fine. Feeling exhausted in spite of sleeping like a log,, weak muscles, poor appetite etc. I started innegus b just before Xmas, one tablet as on two my wee was neon. No point peeing them out I thought to myself

Blood tests, T3 and talking to GP
Hi & happy new year, I started a trial of T3 at the end of November (privately sourced) and was planning on testing my bloods in February. It’s still early days but I do feel ‘better’. My GP has called me in for annual blood test next week, a 1.00pm appointment as no early morning ones available.

Advice re private GP
Hi, I'm new here. Frustrated because I'm still having hypothyroid symptoms nearly a year on from diagnosis. My TSH is 5.2 ( 0.4 - 5.4) GP refuses increase in Levothyroxin. Currently on 25/50 mcg, alternate days since May. I've decided to find a private GP (or thyroid specialist) if refused again after

Levothyroxine getting less effective?
Hi all I've written before and found it very useful so hoping you can help again. I have just switched doctors surgeries and as such lost access to my online account with all my detailed results, so hope this limited information is enough to go on. At the start of last year I was overmedicated at 50mcg

Do my blood test results indicate a Thyroid issue?
Hi and Happy New Year! I am new to the forum and looking for some advice. I recently had thyroid blood tests due to symptoms and a goitre. The results have come back but my GP said nothing can be done but I could be headed towards a thyroid issue in the future with the high Antibodies. I have been feeling

Hi it's me again but this time I'm looking for advice for my daughter who has had Hypothyroidism since a teenager. Now 45. I've told her she needs to increase her thyroxine but thought I would ask the experts. They have never tested her T4 or T3. Her vitamins were tested last in October 2022 which

Low T4 still.
My FT4 result continues to be quite low, I would welcome advice on my medication. SlowDragon, I think you have commented in the past. I would value your opinion now. I have been unsure what to do as there seem to be many warnings about atrial fibulation. FT4 14.6 pmol/L (9.0 - 23.0) FT3 5.4

Feeling cold despite overactive thyroid
I feel the cold all the time but GPs can't seem to find an issue. I'm currently in a heated home with three jumpers and two pairs of socks on, plus a blanket! GP did full blood tests, showing an overactive thyroid but all other tests within range (detailed below). I take 100mcg Levothyroxine a day and

Possible over treatment with Levothyroxine
Hi everyone, I’m new to the site. It was suggested that I make a post following a comment I made replying to another post as I may benefit from some guidance on my current treatment. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid 9 years ago. I have been treated with Levothyroxine throughout. Since 2020
