ESR blood test
just wondering whether anyone knows if Thyroxine affects ESR blood test results. Having taken higher dose of thyroxine for a few weeks now my TSH has reduced considerably from 4.62 to 1.6 but an ESR blood test was done at the same time and is now above the reference range and registered at 24. My previous

Quality of life questionnaire for hypothyroid?
Hi there, I've literally been diagnosed with hypothyroidism a week ago and started levothyroxine today, and feeling quite irritated really as it's clear to me now I've obviously had this a long time. TSH is 14.7 which doesn't seem great from what I am reading. What eventually got it diagnosed was me

Hi there, I’ve been struggling with constipation for a few years but recently every 2-3 weeks when I actually need to go I get shocking pains that feel like I’m in labour but am constipated for ages and then awful runs that have blood. I have a niggly right hand pain, feel full very quick and not eating

signs of mild hypothyroidism?
Hi there, New to this forum 👋 grateful to be here 🙏 I’m wondering if anyone could shine some light on my thyroid test results. In March 2023 my TSH was 0.98 (range 0.27-4.2), and my T4 was 15.5 (range 12-22) - this was done with a private GP so sadly no T3. These bloods were taken after 12pm and

Can anyone tell me why they test tsh when your on medication if it really serves no purpose. Isn't the free t3 and free t4 the main goal.

i had a miscarriage at 5 weeks after a frozen embryo transfer. They have given me two options: one is modified natural cycle and other is same previous method where I was given estrogen tablets patches and pessaries and had embryo transfer. I’m not sure which option is better. I had a positive pregnancy

Real issues with brands
For many months now I have been having real issues trying to get my usual thyroid brands and along the way I have been given (and tried) other brands which caused a really severe reaction so I am very limited now on the brands I WILL try because I refuse to go through the hell I went through again.
