Sub-clinical hypothyroidism
4 years ago in 2019 my thyroid levels were showing underactive borderline I managed to get into normal range and all I did was take Seamoss gel. However it's returned and now my TSH is 10.38 and T4 around 9. I do feel lethargic and fatigued and the GP wants to stick me on to a low dose of levo.. I don't

Changes in TSH.
My daughter had her TSH privately tested in April and the result was 4.5mIU/L, the highest it has ever been. The blood was taken in the evening after flying back from Seville. In June (at lunchtime) her GP tested it and the results was 1.2 which is the lowest it's ever been. She was about to increase

Bit disappointed in this response from a consultant
GP says my dose of levothyroxine is good (50) with levels around Serum TSH level 2.23 mIU/L [0.27 - 4.2] Serum free T4 level 17.1 pmol/L [12.0 - 22.0] I said I wanted to trial more so she suggested checking with a consultant who replied thus: And I'm a bit disappointed 😞 And I haven't yet done

upping meds in pregnancy plus vitimins.
I went to my GP in very early pregnancy (4.5-5weeks) as had cramping and spotting, and also arranged bloods, as I knew I should be monitored as high risk with hashis/hypo. So on the 1st March my TSH was 0.13 mIU/L but after discovering I was pregnant and going for said bloods on the 18th March - I was

Suppressed TSH on combined therapy
Is there data/medical papers I can give my doctor as to why T3 is suppressed on combination therapy? I have tried looking at the Nice guidelines but they all seem against using combination therapy.Thanks Sue

carbimazole help
so the good news is that my bloods came back with lots of positives this time. My TPOAb has reduced to 57, after it was 178 in Feb. My TSH has woken up and is now in range! My vitamins are all in good order (thanks to supplements and advice from this forum). B12 has increased +200 since Feb! The only

"TSH of 5.21 does not warrant levo increase"
Just that. According to my GPs I am perfectly fine and my TSH is only barely out of range and doesn't need my medication to be increased 🤔 what even is the point of their stupid range if they're not even going to pay attention to it? Luckily I have a letter from the Endo stating they want my TSH below

My Endocrinology appointment review no help! and my 1300 tpo just a small blip quote from endocrinologist (see my previous post)
My endo didn’t say anything to help I don’t have hypothyroidism and told her how unwell I am basically she doesn’t know what’s refused to help me and said she will repeat test in a few weeks . She didn’t care about the results of private bloods they mean notching and tpo doesn’t mean autoimmune thyroiditis

Hello, I had a total thyroidectomy around 5 years ago and have been on and off thyroxine for multiple reasons. My current TSH is >100 Current free T4 is 3 how dangerous is this?

Thyroid Receptor Ab
Hi Just had an additional test back the endo requested ahead of initial apt. Thyroid Receptor Ab (TRAb?) which was middle range at < 1.5 iu/l. (Range:0 - 3.3 iu/l) Is this a Graves disease test? Otherwise High TSH, positive TPO, low nutrients. And inflammation markers up. Just wondered if this TRAb

Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

Useless Endocrinology appointment
Hi everyone, So I had my Endocrinology appointment. She asked me if I took my dose of t3 before the test at 7am and I said no as she caught me off guard! She had slyly earlier in the appointment already asked me when I took my t3 dose (in the morning as one dose). Unfortunately the doctor is a TSH
