hello, I have ordered the well woman test. I take 5mg carbimazole 3 times a week. My cholesterol is 6.6, lower than it’s ever been and I do not want to take statins. My gp doesn’t want to retest TSH and I don’t think I have been tested for T3 or T4. Do I need to stop the carbimazole before doing the

Update following long-awaited GP appointment for results of Thyroid blood test
Following my last post, I have finally had my GP appointment. I thought it was solely to discuss my annual Thyroid blood test but it seems they had also tested for cholesterol. Had a long lecture about high LDL and the risk. I explained that I couldn't really do any more to improve it as I already

Anxiety is back as bad as ever
Hi all, not doing well at all lately regarding anxiety. I know the reason but that doesn’t help. I have recently been told that I’m pre diabetic and that I have CKD both thought to be due to heart meds. Then the other day, out of the blue, another call from surgery regarding cholesterol results.

Effect of increased levo dose
Rather unexpectedly, as not supposed to be until 3 months after having my levo upped from 75 to 100mcg, my TSH and T4 were tested after just 5 weeks. TSH 0.16 (0.27 to 4.2), T4 21.7 (12 to 22). As I was not expecting thyroid tests at this time (different test booked) I had taken levo 3 hours before

Different truth about Statins
If you are on Statins, especially in terms of so called "primary prevention" you should read this and preferably also some of the sources and then make an educated decision. LINK REMOVED By the way the absolute results/benefits in secondary prevention are not much better.
