Doctor Listened and Agreed.
Yesterday I had a return visit appointment for something other than my thyroid. During the visit I told the doctor that the blood test taken the week before after a change in dosage was useless because only TSH and T4 had been tested, and that to make any sort of sense of it I needed T3 as well which

Subclinical hypothyroidism and leukemia?
Hi everyone, well barely a few months into addressing my fatigue as hypothyroidism (on the advice of a nutritionist, admittedly), I am being tested this week for leukemia.š I looked up a few other posts on the forum that suggest high leukocytes can be associated with hypothyroidism, is that correct?

Follow up bloods from 3 weeks back
As you can see I now have my bloods back and looks like I need to increase my Thyroxine as both TSH and T4 are and issue? My test was in the morning and I had not had any medication for around 30 hours. The Cortisol is also elevated. Any pointers would be good. Thanks Alex

NHS Endocrinology appointment with results of NHS T3 tests. Are latest bloods in my favour or will they work against me?
Hi All, I am hoping to have T3 prescribed on the NHS (arenāt we all?!) or at least to have an understanding Endocrinologist. I am also hoping to increase T3 (See * below) My new NHS Endocrinologist I saw last month asked for me to take my morning NHS T4 and self-prescribed T3 as usual, then 2-4hrs

advice please
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 9 years ago whilst pregnant. Iāve been on 50mcg since then. It was only recently that I was seeing an osteopath at my gym and we started talking weight management. He said he thought I was under medicated. Anyway, thought about it and actually I have lots of symptoms

thyroid abnormalities
My latest blood tests show TSH 4.6 and T4 19. I am on 75 mcg levothyroxine. These results do not seem to tally. I also have neck pain. Any advice?

High BP, abdominal pain and sickness and UTI
I initially had bouts of anaemia and tiredness throughout the early 2000s and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism around 2010. I was told that my excess weight would drop off me after being prescribed Levothyroxine. That didn't happen but I did get side effects and symptoms of an underactive thyroid

Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

NHS Endo blood request form whilst on T3 & 4
Just received my latest bloods form which only requests TSH and fT4... since starting T3 a year ago they have never requested a fT3 result ( I've added them to the form for my own benefit) Is this the norm? Just curious It's almost as if I'm prescribed T3 but they don't acknowledge it š¤·āāļø

levo reduction
After annual bloods in july a duty doctor told me to reduce meds, 125mcg and 100 mcg on alternate days as I was overmedicted and retest in four or 5 months, I think that was too long. However I had bloods done again on 15th november and phoned the surgery 9 days later as I hadn't heard from them and
