Experiences with

Thyrotropin releasing hormone test (TRH)

Hi sure someone will get this and understand. My TSH 3.8 Free thyroxine 17.6 Free t3 5.3 Either I'm making it up in my head or I'm experiencing these symptoms from levothyroxine I've been on thyroxine about 10 week so in initial dosing period. I have tried 2 brands and experimented with changing

At least as far at the gp will be concerned...unless she trys to take the levothyroxine off me TFT results on patients taking thyroxine are technically validated. Suggest contact Consultant or Clinical Scientist for advice. Serum TSH level 0.22 mIU/L [0.27 - 4.2]; Below low reference limit Serum free

I had bloods taken. TSH is 1.27 a little low for me but my T4 (FREE) is 23.5 denoted as high since it was above the normal scale. Can someone help interpret these results? I asked for the full thyroid panel including T3 but of course they didn’t do the tests. Thank you.

Morning allSome time back I remember reading an article on this site which referred to cardiologists recommending TSH no higher than 2 for heart health. Can someone direct me so I can save it please . Iseem to recall it was a GP notebook article. Thank you.

24/04/24. Serum free T4 level-18.3 pmol/L. TSH level- 4.35Serum urea level- 4.9 sodium 139 mmol/L. 29/09/24. TSH. level- 1.74mU/L. T4 level - 15.5 pmoi/L. 20/07/23

Hello everyone, sorry to not have been more active here. So recently I had my last follow-up after RFA procedure on my right thyriod lob. The part they treated, a conglommeration of different nodules which was nearly 5 centimetres in diameter, has definitely shrunk, but of course has not disappeared

Hi. Doctor suggested I reduce levo as over 60 years now and surpressed TSH risk for osteoporosis. Like a fool, I agreed to a reduction of 25mcgs every other day even though I felt very well for the last seven years on my dose. After 3 weeks terrible heart palpitations mainly after eating. Slowed

Now that I have been on T3 Liothyronine for a few weeks some symptoms are improving. I was feeling much less stiff, and muscle pain had improved. Unfortunately I have now developed what I think is an elbow bursitis. When I read about it most articles say you are at higher risk with Thyroid disease. Currently

If you don’t have hypothyroidism but have [u]persistently[/u] raised TSH - what are other causes of this? I have read so far it can be caused by adrenal insufficiency, inflammation, immune system problems. Is there anything else? Anyone else find their raised TSH (normal ft4/3) is due to something

Hello, Update after having my private endocrinologist appointment last night. After taking my medical history, the endo asked why I made an appointment when I was being seen on the NHS, I explained my appointment to review my results has been cancelled, and due to my ongoing symptoms I want some help

I thought the presence of TPO antibodies automatically meant a diagnosis of either Hashimoto's or postpartum thyroiditis (I had a baby 4 months ago), but been told by my GP today that apparently that isn't true and they just indicate that you *might* at some point suffer from autoimmune thyroid disease

Hi there , I just wanted some advice. I was recently referred to an endocrinologist as I had been having hormone tests due to family history of early menopause and planning for pregnancy etc. my results showed low TSH (<0.02 mouth/L) and when they retested showed high T3 (7.6 pool/L) and low TSH.

I feel so unwell and fatigued. I was on 120 Levothyroxine and was reduced to 100 my Dr said my T4 was high but my TSH was normal. I can't sleep at night but tired all the time. My face is puffy and my stomach distended I have had an underactive thyroid for 28 years and was told my thyroid was the size

Hi I am 61 years old female and definitely post menopausal. I have just received a letter following my recent endo appointment and it states that oestrogen levels were negligible and fsh was 19. I just want to check if this is normal. I thought the fsh should have been much higher. My tsh has never

In December last year, I was told that I have thyroid issues, or that my thyroid was working too hard to produce, I’m honestly not even sure, I didn’t understand it when doctor was telling me. My issues were stress, anxiety and I was struggling with joint pain, in my hand, foot and knee. I was having

Hi all I had my 3rd baby 12 weeks ago. A beautiful boy I was feeling absolutely fine after birth (suffer with anxiety anyway) but about 1 week before my cycle started at 8 weeks I just spiralled, awful anxiety, constantly on edge and horrible feeling of fear, hot flushes, night sweats zero appetite

Hey, hope everyone is doing well. So just as a bit of background I'm prepping for my third and final IVF cycle next month. After my second cycle failed my consultant recommended a heap of tests to just "cross the ts" and it's taken ages for all the genetic tests to come back. In that time the tests

Hi everyone, just feeling so flat and low. Like a functioning shell, if that makes sense? I’m menopausal too (post) so probably isn’t helping. Only diagnosed with Hashimotos recently but have been struggling with symptoms for years. I assumed it was the menopause so took HRT but as my poor thyroid couldn

Hello again Following on from my last post I’d like to update you on my latest conversation with my GP. He has tried to put the fear of god into me regarding me taking NDT . He started by saying after our last conversation he’s looked into it and basically he has found no research EVER in having
