Adding more T3? or keep as is?
Hello All, I am looking to see any suggestions regarding adding more T3 to my current regimen. I am on 175 Tirosint T4 and 10mcg T3; I have Hashimoto’s and have been working on my iron by adding iron bisglycinate, which has helped as I am not dizzy, lightheaded, and have more focus. I also noticed

follow up to previous post. Help please.
Hi all, I previously posted on behalf of my Mom. TSH, B12, folate and vitamin D below was taken 21/12/23. GP prescribed 50,000 unit 1 a week for 6 weeks vitamin D caps. So we see the ones called calceous 400 unit with calcium 1 twice a day did not maintain her level. So that could be one reason why she

Hi all 😊 On 125.5mcg levothyroxine my TSH went down to below normal, so my doctor reduced the dose to 100mcg. I did a medicheck test 13-12-23 TSH 2.43 (0.27-4.2 T3 4.1 (3.1-6.8) T4 18 (12-22) Dose increased again to 125.5mcg and my TSH has gone down : TSH 0.19 (0.27-4.2) T4 21.6 (12.0-22.0

Pub med article challenging traditional TSH-based approach
Hope the web address works - interesting! [i]In a study evaluating tissue function tests before total thyroidectomy and at 1 year postoperatively when using LT4, it was found that peripheral tissue function tests indicated mild hyperthyroidism at TSH <0.03 mU/L and mild hypothyroidism at TSH 0.3

Tsh 7.09
Hello My mum is 86 & on 75mg level. She has recently had an iron infusion privately as had a ferritin of just 6. Those levels now normal I asked for a full thyroid but they don't do T3 & will have to do a fingerprick test on her. (If she agrees!) Tsh 7.09 (0.35 - 5.5) T4 16.6 (10.5 - 21)

Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Test results
Afternoon, My Blue Horizon Thyroid Genetic Panel results have arrived after a long wait and I’d appreciate some help understanding them. I undertook the test to check my DIO1 and DIO2 status, both of which appear ‘normal’ (no inherited defects). However, three variants are flagged up in either red

High Free T4 with hypothyroidism?
I've had hypothyroidism for about 15 years and been on levothyroxine all that time. It's never really got me back to feeling great but this year I'm dreadful. They raised my levo to 200mcg in July and the effect has been a disaster. I lost 50% of my hair and bedridden on too many days. Gradually reducing

Results of TSH after 6 weeks
Hi there, I have just got my TSH results back after being on Levithyroxine for 6 weeks. (50mg). It was originally 12.04 and has now come down to 4.24. I am due to spk to the dr tomorrow but on my NHS record it says no further action. I just wanted to know what the ideal level should be? Do I suggest

Sussex hospitals no longer giving fT4 result on thyroid function tests
Hello, Writing this post in case it helps prepare others rather than for advice (but feel free to advise if you wish!). I had a blood test last Friday not because of hypothyroidism but the test included "thyroid function". My results came back with just TSH being reported, no fT4 as I have been used

Anti-nuclear factor
Hi all, My most recent test results have, in addition to a high TSH (8.57 mlU/L, normal range 0.27-4.2) despite having had an increase of Levothyroxine to 100mcg in June and a TSH reading of 1.35 in August), my Anti- nuclear factor test has also come back positive, homogenous pattern. Has anyone else

Can a change in batch be the reason my thyroid hormones have dropped so low?
I was on 100mcg a day at the end of November and my results were TSH - 0.011 (0.27-4.2) Free T4 - 21.6 (12-22) (96%) Free T3 - 5.8 (3.1-6.8) ((73%) I thought the T4 was a bit high and I was having some mild palpitations so I reduced to 4 Days 75 mcg and 3 days 100mcg. After 7 weeks I retested

Symptoms fluctuating
I am positive for Trab, TPO and Tg antibodies. I had Graves, was treated with carbi (didn't need high doses), went into remission and stopped carbi as per endo advice about 7 months ago (after 14 months of treatment), was ok for a few months and now, instead of suffering a hyper relapse as I thought

Advice please
Hello, hypothyroid here, currently taking 225mg levothyroxine daily. Visited the Dr (NHS) last week for a few ongoing issues, including a lump in my neck (just right of neck centre) and was seen primarily by a student Dr who’s findings were then discussed/assessed with GP. Very convinced it’s a goitre

Hello
Hi there This is my first post so wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 6 years ago, and struggled with accepting there was an issue and then with the wealth of conflicting opinions. I couldn’t get why if it is such a common thing why it’s not taken more seriously

Can Someone be in the normal TSH range but still be suffering from Hypothyroidism
My daughter has been suffering multiple symptoms, reoccurring urology issues, aches and pains, IBS to name but a few. Her GP’s have only ever tested for TSH which has always been in the middle of the range. As I have autoimmune hypothyroidism as well as an autoimmune blood disorder should they be

Hi I posted a while ago about the brand of thyroxine I’m on (Accord), just had my blood results. Recently moved doctors. After getting my results doctor has advised if you take thyroxine the NHS will only test TSH now. My old doctors used to do T4 and TSH. I could never get T3 done. On a positive
