Urine test

I have somewhat neglected my hypothyroidism over the last couple of years to concentrate on my more recently diagnosed Pernicious Anaemia, Bile acid malabsorption and atrophic gastritis. I have been taking 100mcg Levothyroxine and 125mcg Levothyroxine alternating each day and that has seemed pretty

After a ‘we will have to agree to disagree’ face to face appointment with GP 7 weeks ago the next day he sneakily changed my levothyroxine prescription from 100 to 75 mcg, knowing full well the earliest I would able to speak to him( or another Gp) on the phone to argue my case/ complain would be 3+weeks

Hello, Just had my first 3 month PSA test post surgery. <0.01. Good news but need to monitor every 3 years due to intraductal component. I just want to thank everyone that has been so supportive and has given me positive feedback on this forum. I am also getting genetic testing done this week as well

Hi. Here are my latest results. My cholesterol is also a little high which I believe may indicate my thyroid may be a little undermedicated. I'm on 125mcg Levothyroxine. I stopped T3 late last year as I was having terrible sleep with night sweats at the time (I was also on the T3 withdrawal clinic).

I'd be really grateful if someone could share their knowledge/experience on the following. We had a 5 day blastocyst (3ab) transfer a few weeks ago. 7 days after transfer we tested positive (at home pregnancy test). I began spotting on day 8 and bleeding heavily on day 9 post transfer. Our beta HCG (

Getting through the winter isn’t isn’t easy, is it friends ? This one was a long one and once the spring is on its way my energy levels, enthusiasm and motivation get going and life opens up again. It didn’t happen this year though. Asthma COPD for 21 years….was it all getting to the body ? No energy

Hi I was getting my thyroid checked as I had a 24 hr ecg and the report suggested it, I think due to palpitations /missed beats. Also seeing Endo 1/10 so she usually asks if I’d get them checked . Here goes TSH 3.80. Range 0.30-4.50 FT4 14.9 “ 11.0-22.0 FT3. 3.5.

Can someone help me make sense of these test results? MC = Medichecks. NHS = GP Surgery, BH = Blue Horizon. What is screaming at me over these last 6 bloods is that they are all fasting, taken around 9.00am. The very last results were based on supplementation of B12 sublingual spray 300 mcg x1 day Thorpe

Grandad is 87, diagnosed with colon cancer at the beginning of the year. Only symptom was rapidly decreasing iron in blood.They said he had stage T4 and that they were going to do an operation to remove the cancer. They did just that last week. Doctors said they had removed the cancer and he was released

Hi everyone. My first post for many years so I’m now very out of date on everything as I’ve been happily ticking along for ages taking a combination of thyroxine and T3 and keeping my TSH levels quite low. I’ve recently been referred back to endo to confirm the T3 prescription and for some adrenal

Hi all I discovered in May that I had Intestinal Metaplasia and this was a real shock. I’ve had abdominal pain, stomach cramps, diarrhea, bloating, difficulties with digestion, excess gas (sorry!) for a long time. Also feeling of fatigue and low energy and mood. Then I only had blood test last week

Hello again, I would really appreciate feedback on my last test results please. Thanks to your previous advice I managed to convince an Endocrinologist to increase my Levothyroxine from 75mcg to 88mcg which I have been taking since last April. At the time of the last results I had been on that dose

Hi All Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced this. I’m on Methotrexate for RA, have been taking it for about 6 years, bloods are taken every few months as it can cause liver problems. My ALT has been low for years now, but since having an iron infusion in April, my ALT, GGT are getting higher

Could someone shed some light on what is going on with my test results please. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about 30 years ago after I had my goitre removed. Shortly after I had tingling and burning in my feet, I was not on any medication at first. Then I was put on Levothyroxine, and as far as

Hello, I'm preparing to request another prescription of levo. I have been taking 100mcg consistently and I feel ok on it (i.e. well enough to not want to mess about with levels). GP keeps telling me I am overmedicated and has put me down to 25mcg so I have been sourcing privately. Here are my latest

I had a review last week regarding my thyroid medication. The Dr refused to increase T4 due to suppressed TSH, despite my FT3 & FT4 being low in range. 'Guidelines' were mentioned.I agreed to an endo appointment, but pointed out the one I had in 2021 where he said 'if she feels well, leave her alone

Brychni 23 hours ago•3 Replies Hello 👋 I posted this message on the Raynaud's and scleroderma group but after some research wondered if anyone here can help.me: Got my blood results back from rheumatology today, they were looking for scleroderma because of my worsening Raynaud's and finger ulcers.

I recently ran my thyroid labs and I got low TSH and high rT3. Trying to figure out future dosing. I have been on levothyroxine for Hashimoto's at 75mcg + 1/2 pill of Thyroid-S per day for 3 years feeling pretty well with no scores much out of the ordinary. But, about 5 months ago, I
