Hello everyone, this is my first post, though I’ve been gleaning pearls of wisdom from this site for a couple of years, so thank you all! I’m a 60-year-old male. I’ve had chronic fatigue since 1988; tight forehead pain and a horrible “saturated brain” feeling since the late 1990s (brought on by reading

Hi wondering if anyone can decifer my results until my gp gets back to me in a few days. I’ve been off levothyroxine for 10 years now (I was on it previously for 5 years as my tsh was 6.8 but stopped as my levels returned to normal).

Low tsh 0.01 and low t4 12/13 even on levothyroxine
I have had bloods done and tsh is majorly supressed and t4 is low even on levothyroxine. 12/13 t4 (range 9-19) I have tingling and leg swelling daily and I'm unsure what this may be. Any advice or similar story's would be helpful

support needed for the following tests results - hyperthyroid and graves. 15mg carbimozle
Hello I started experiencing fatigue about 5 months ago, followed by an increase in appetite. Then, about 3 weeks ago, I began experiencing palpitations, weight loss, shortness of breath, and itchy eyes. The doctor prescribed 40mg of Carbimazole, but I feel this may be too much. Can 15mg, along

negative antibodies and Dx Hoshi
Is it unusual to be diagnosed with Hoshimoto with a negative antibody test? Clinical dx from Endo in 2019 after multiple TSH results over 4.0. Throughout the last 4 years I’ve started on Levo and now TSH is @1.70-2.0 consistently every 6 month. Currently on 100mg. not quite certain if Hoshi or just

Exhaustion may not be thyroid related!
Hi all, just wanted to share my recent experience which came as a complete shock/surprise. So, usual story, feeling exhausted, needing to nap all the time, barely able to function. This feeling has been even worse since new year, barely able to get out of bed. Now, I knew I was a poor converter and needed

Percent of range
Since your group likes to go by percent of range could you tell me an example of what makes a good balance on free t4, free t3 and tsh. Should they all fall around 50 percent of the range being used for your particular lab?

TSH dropping, but FT4 stuck
I started levothyroxine on 10th August on 25mcg, then went up to 50mcg in September, then 75mcg Nov and I'm now alternating 75/100mcg every day. My TSH has dropped considerably, however my FT4 has got stuck at the very bottom end of normal and doesn't seem to be rising despite me increasing the dose

Joint/Muscle pains new
Hi ,would welcome any thoughts. Have been on Levo since April 2023, began on 25mg and after Sept test was increased to 50mg. Now blood results back an TSH 0.15 so Dr is happy! I am actually taking Cytomel 20mg at 1 daily in 4 divided doses also. So what's wrong? Well, still tired as hell and in

Blood test results
Hi,I started levothyroxine (25mcg) approx 6 weeks ago after diagnosis. Bloods retested today and TSH is 5.1. Previous results were 7 and 8.I have an appointment with the GP this week and presume they will want to increase the dose. Pathology investigation report on the blood test suggests undertreatment

Hashimotos or secondary hypothyroidism?
Hello, I recently had positive test results for thyroid antibodies, but my TSH and T4 remain in range, but low end. My doctor has suggested that I start treatment to prevent hypothyroidism developing. Actually I already have many key symptoms and I am struggling to cope. I also have a B12 deficiency

thyroid issues and a fibs???
Does anyone on this site know if there is a link between a fibs and a high TSH blood test? I have been hypothyroid most of my life and have to take synthroid, due to a partial thyroidectomy in my twenties. I am now 69 and have recently developed a fibs. I also might have apnea; am getting a sleep
