Am I being stupid by delaying treatment for mild hyperthyroidism when I don't have any symptons?
I am 72 years old and following on from a diagnosis of thrombosis in my legs in 2021, for which I am taking 10mg of rivaroxaban, the Doctors at my local Surgery arranged for me to have blood tests which indicated hyperthyrodism. It was recommended that I should take daily 5mg of carbimazole but as

Advice on blood results please- why no improvement in T3?
hi everyone, advice welcome for my recent Medichecks test please. I introduced 6.5mcg of T3 in September and took my levo down to 75/100 on alternate days, I hoped this would increase my % of T3 as I am a poor converter and have two copies of faulty DIO2 gene. I also hoped this increase in T3 would

Another test with different results
I posted this in reply to myself....um probably not the best place! So am re posting as a fresh post. I wondered if there was anything else I should be doing whilst struggling with my GP. My GP explained that FT3 and FT4 didn’t matter, that doing blood tests could suggest problems which aren’t really

Is This TSH Level OK?
Hi, I'm asking on behalf of an adult female relative. She's recently getting fatigued, putting on weight and has lost motivation, she feels burnt out. She's been going through a stressful time in her life and is late 40's so this could be down to peri-menopause and stress. Her GP didn't test ferritin

Latest Blood Test Results
Good morning all. I have an endo appt this Thursday and am trying to prepare myself as I am worried my dosage of Levo might be reduced. I am concerned that T3 conversion needs improvement as I still don't feel 'good' but because my TSH is at the bottom of the range my endo may ignore my concern. I can't

Vitamin B complex
Hello I am hypothyroid, take 75 or 100mcg levothyroxine daily. I started out a couple of years ago with some vitamin tests that showed low vitamin D & low folate. I supplemented with D3/K2 & methyl folate & felt well. I would occasionally use the Better You B12 spray for good measure. This week I switched

Recently diagnosed - help request to understand test results
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in February and prescribed Levothyroxine 50mg per day. My February blood tests resulted in a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Disease and an increase to 100mg per day. My GP told me that my latest test results (18.04.23) show that my thyroid is normal and I'm negative for

Persistent bowel infection
Dear all, A while since I have written. I was struggling for a year or two with colon pain and seemingly uncontrollable IBS-D. I had a colonic MRI scan done which found I had diverticulosis (side-pockets on the colon). I did not have all the symptoms of diverticulitis (inflammation of the pockets

Positive Reticulin Antibodies Test
Hi All. Thank you for adding me to your forum. I've also posted this on the Gluten Free Guerrillas forum, as I'd appreciate any help or insights. I've been on a bit of a health journey this last few years, with very unhelpful GP's. I had lots of symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, aches, numbness and tingling

B12, folate
In January, I managed to get B12 included in the blood tests (only by getting the nurse to write it down on the form at the time of the test). Level came back at 404 (range 197 to 771). I didn't know at the time to ask for ferritin and folate to be tested. GP put me on cyanocobalamin tablets, 50mcg

Low t4 postpartum
Hello, I am 5 months postpartum and struggling with fatigue, brain fog, cold, anxiety, weight gain.

Slightly low TSH - have no idea if this means anything?
I am a total novice when it comes to thyroid tests! In January my HRT (50yo female) did not seem to be helping with my fatigue and joint pain so I had a range of blood tests. My B12 and Vit D were low so I have commenced the protocols for those. My serum TSH was 0.40 (0.30 - 4.20) which I see is in

Newly Diagnosed
I was diagnosed with Osteopenia in July of 2018. I was told to continue with Vitamin D and Calcium daily. It did absolutely nothing. After doing some research, and with the numbers I had, I should have definitely been scanned again before 3 years/3 months later. November 2021 my left femur went "up"

Results - don't know what to make of them
I can see Vit D is way too low despite my daily tablet! I've just bought Thorne 25mcg plus K2 200mcg drops so hopefully they are better. I will take them twice a day for the next few weeks then once a day. My Anti thyroid peroxidase antibodies are obviously through the roof but I guess that is because

Advice about plan of treatment
I am 67, was diagnosed with PMR 2 weeks ago after 4 weeks of symptoms (stiffness and pain in neck, arms, shoulders, couldn't raise arms above shoulders, immense tiredness etc). Initial GP contact was excellent - he identified the problem, blood tests same day, consult 2 days later to confirm diagnosis
