just wanted to see if everything is normal….
good morning, or afternoon…. I’ve only been dealing with hypothyroidism a short time, most just feeling exhausted, at the beginning had many other symptoms and of course weight is an issue. I am attaching two screenshots. One is my last TSH results, as those are the only tests my GP would do. Yesterday

Hypo book recommendations please UK
Hi, please can someone recommend a book to start to understand likely hypothyroidism? A UK publication please. I joined yesterday and am just trying to get my head around it all. I have lots of symptoms and my TSH is creeping up with TS4 and especially TS3 scratching the bottom of the normal range

Advice on latest test results please
My results below are from 19/1/24 and 26/3/24. I’m not using any thyroid meds and it would seem that my tsh is increasing while frees are decreasing. Any advice on what I should do would be welcome. 19/1/24 TSH: 2.77 (0.27-4.2) FT3:4.8 (3.1-6.8) FT4:14.3 (12-22) 26/3/24 - same ranges

My drs reduced my levo and now I'm having a mare.
So I've been suffering with swelling and pins and needles recently and my dr has said it must be my thyroid He's reduced levo from 100mcg to 75mcg. My t4 has gone from 13 to 11. The edema is worse now.. However my testerone has gone from normal 0.8... range 0.3-1.9 to 2.5!!! Does anyone know why

Advice on latest results please
I’ve had a bumpy ride over the past 4 years, some of it self-induced by being impatient. When I started testing my thyroid everything was low inc tsh and cortisol, in retrospect I suppose my body was just trying to survive on drippings. I was never sure I had a thyroid problem as my tsh was always

is it possible…
is it possible for t4 and tsh levels to change dramatically in 6 weeks? Six weeks ago I did a medichecks test and my tsh was just within the bottom of the range and my t4 and t3 roughly the same as when I tested before…slight drop. Generally, I’ve felt ok for a few months (been on 75mcg, taken regularly

Slow release T3 version, combined with levothyroxine
I would be interested in your experience with mixing the two hormones( levo & slow-release T3). I take Tirosint first in the morning and after an hour, I also take t3 slow release and I don't know if it's correct like that, the doctor who prescribed them didn't give me more indications. It would be more

I read that it isn't advisable to take thyroxine with suppressed TSH and T4!
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone is taking thyroxine with a suppressed T4 (6.6 range 08-19.1) and TSH 0.01 I read on google, it's not advisable if levels above, are suppressed or you have adrenal fatigue, which I have suffered from in the past. My main medication is 40 mcg of T3 which makes a big difference

Cost of a full thyroid panel v TSH alone
We often hear of patients being refused a full thyroid panel due to cost. Can anyone tell me the cost differential to the NHS as I suspect it may be minimal.

Thoughts on test results
This is my first post. I’ve been avidly reading back through past information and found it very empowering - I’ve been inspired to take control of my health. I’ve just had results back from a Medichecks thyroid panel and would appreciate your thoughts. Full information about my history and symptoms

anti-tpo how high is high?
hi I’ve posted before about my tsh coming back as <0.001 with slightly low free t4 and normal free t3 and was told I should get antibodies tested. Gp seems to think I have Subclinical hyperthyroidism and is only paying attention to the odd tsh result and wants to repeat it in 2 months. I’ve had them
