secondary hypo and doctor questioning diagnosis
He conducted a
TRH
test
and found a blunted response and diagnosed secondary hypothyrodism and I've been on levo ever since.

US-based, Prospective, Blinded Study of Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody in Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
A rather disappointing paper. First, the full paper is, as so often, behind a paywall. Also, because the the paper doesn't come out with a clear "Yes, the tests are wonderful and reliable." It is quite clear that there is sufficient uncertainty to question all results from these tests. We have had

Question on THS and atrophic thyroiditis
I hope you knowledgeable people can help me with learning more to assist me with advocating for my own health. On this forum, it is agreed that THS is not the sole marker on which to base treatment decisions. In the case of a thyroid which is chronically atrophied, is the TSH likely to be of even less

High FT4 and Low TSH
I am new to this group but have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid for quite some time. I have been taking levothyroxine for 10+ years titrating up to 200mcg over that time but after bloods last week I have been reduced to 100mcg. My recent bloods (July) were FT4 31.7 and TSH 0.04. My bloods

Levothyroxine dosing
HelloI have hashimotos hypothyroidism. I was just wondering if it is normal for my TSH and antibodies to keep going up until correct dose is achieved or should I still see it coming down with each dose change? Thank you 😊

Increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as a possible risk factor for atherosclerosis in subclinical hypothyroidism.
Have to admit, it is quite hard to read and I have not managed the entirety yet! But it does appear to read that even subclinical hypothyroidism might be important in itself - due to the increased TSH. [i]

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?

Thyroid impact on menstrual cycle
Does anyone know if/how the thyroid impacts the menstrual cycle, eg cycle length (shortened vs lengthened) and flow (heavy vs lighter) depending on your thyroid function status (eg hyper versus hypo)? Are there any research papers on this? I know TSH <2.5 is preference for conception. Just wondering

negative antibodies
Hi. I’m wondering what you should test or look out for if you have negative antibodies for hypothyroid whilst having a higher TSH number? I get my bloods done every 4 months. The TSH is high, but not high enough to be medicated for (in the UK). I get my bloods done by the nurse and there’s no chat with

Research on TSH levels to show doctor
Hello, Apologies for this question, as I know it's one that has been posted before by others (I haven't figured out how to 'save' posts yet!). I'm trying to find research to show to my GP (in the UK) regarding TSH levels. My understanding is that 'healthy' individuals would have a TSH of around 1

Anyone else here also have POTs?
So it's looking like I have POTs as well as Hashimoto's. I'm 4 months on Armour and a lot of my symptoms have started to improve recently - physical fatigue/flu like symptoms are mostly gone, attacks of sleepiness getting less frequent, appetite better, lost weight, resting HR back to normal, no more
