should 80 year old man be treated for hypothyroid?
NHS GP results were
TSH
4.78 and FT4 11.7. Is it worth taking drugs. I understand that some research in USA suggest that 4.78 in elderly is ok. I am enquiring on behalf of my husband.....many thanks

I’ve just read for the first time that TSH is involved in T4 conversion
Barbara Lougheed, the author of Tired Thyroid asserts that
TSH
isn’t useless (her words, not mine) because it triggers T4 to T3 conversion at cellular level.

TSH normal
Doctor tested
TSH
only and it came back normal. He has low folate and has all the symptoms for hypothyroidism. He is in so much pain with his stomach though and is very constipated, could this still be part of hypothyroidism?

Advice please
in to assess, the student suggested testing the antibodies again and asked how she could find my other thyroid results in the system as she wanted to check T3 & T4 etc. to which the regular Dr turned around and said they don’t test for any of those after diagnosis, and that they prescribe going from

Feel great, but should I reduce T4?
Anyway, my recent blood test results show thyroid hormones right at the top of the range -
TSH
still suppressed but that is always the case unless I'm seriously under medicated.

anyone got experience of private Drs or this reaction to dropping meds?
as previously discussed I am on t3 only and my
tsh
has gone from suppressed 0.01 to 7.86 over the last few years. After the most recent result I have tried to raise my T3 only dose from 55mcg split over 3 doses to 60mcg.

Hypo book recommendations please UK
I have lots of symptoms and my
TSH
is creeping up with TS4 and especially TS3 scratching the bottom of the normal range. My folate isn’t great or my D vits.

GP review - low TSH on NDT
These are repeats of tests done six weeks ago, repeated because
TSH
so low. I have told them I'n on NDT and that is probably why my
TSH
is so low but it doesn't seem like this has been taken on board or maybe the message hasn't got through.

Appointment with a new consultant 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳
They are hell gent in getting my
tsh
levels higher, even though looking back they have always fluctuated quite dramatically even when on levo only. My latest bloods are below. Any feedback for my appointment would be so appreciated. Btw I feel absolutely rubbish.
