Monitoring Thyroid
I have a condition which is known as an MPN . I have a haematology appointment this week when my Consultant is going to discuss a new treatment. This treatment is known to interfere with thyroid function and anyone going on it will need their thyroid function monitored as it can cause thyroid issues

Finally! 12 months to get to 100mcg
Just a little celebration really, I feel quite emotional sitting here with my Levo. 12 months ago I was diagnosed subclinical and thanks to this forum I've kept going even. Without you lot, I'd probably still be stuck on 25! Just keeping my fingers crossed that this dose increase finally helps me to

Need support with talking to GP/Private doctor. What should my next step be?
Hi. Shockingly, I have recently realised that I might be having allergic side effects to the levo I have been taking all these years. I am shocked by this. I didn't even know that Levo could have side effects because I was never told that I should be on the lookout. I have visited so many private endos

confusing results
I have been in thyroid for 50 years. My TSH has always been abnormally low (.09) while all other tests in the low normal range. I am also, asymptomatic when it comes to any issues relating to too much meds and have never had any other illnesses. I feel good and have lived like this for. 50 years.

Hello, recent results : Serum tsh level 1.1 my/L (0.35-4.9) GP says normal. I am in horrendous pain in upper back and neck. This has been on and off for years. Seems to have started with a stressful event at work and lasted for weeks. GP will possibly refer me to pain clinic again. I am off work

TSH and Levothyroxine help
My TSH in November 2023 was 6.92 mlU/L whilst on 100mg Levothyroxine. My GP increased my dose to 125mg. Repeat TSH March 2024 is 0.106 mlU/L. Awaiting my GP appointment but wondering how an additional 25mg of Levo has taken my TSH result from one side of the normal range scale to the other?

Goitre, normal TSH, ENT
I recently discovered a lump on my thyroid which I now know to be a goitre and on checking online discovered I have most of the common symptoms of hypothyroidism and a lot of less common ones too. GP did a TSH test but result came back 0.87 which I believe to be well within normal range but I know

Do Drs get a bonus for prescribing certain drugs ?
Does anybody know if Gps get a hand out for prescribing statins ? There has been a lot of controversy in regard to this topic. Late yesterday afternoon I had a call from my surgery. It was a Dr I had never heard of or had I spoken to her before. She was suggesting I were put on statins! I asked for
