Advice after recent blood test results please
I have been taking Levothyroxine for decades but only recently appreciated, after advice from this fabulous website, the correct way to undertake thyroid blood tests. After decades of iron deficiency I had an iron infusion a few months ago (therefore ferritin now high), I inject B12 regularly for Pernicious

I take folic acid 5mg, b12 2000, and vitamin d which I think is 1000 daily. Are these ok?

Wow, what a difference!
I've just had my 1st conversation with my new doctor. She started by saying that ".....your TSH is low, but that is explained by the fact that you're taking T4 & T3, so how do you feel?" She didn't know that T3 can now be prescribed again, but she does now. We had a sensible conversation and I'm going

Introducing myself
Hi, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd share a brief summary of how I ended up here. It's hard to say exactly when my symptoms started but in 2019, when I was 62, I found myself so persistently lacking in energy that I decided I should mention it to a doctor. The first doctor I saw did some blood

Vital Role of B12 and Folate
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0193953X12001001?via%3Dihub This article focuses on the role of b12 and folate in the synthesis of methionine and one of the side effects of improper synthesis is depression and cognitive impairment. However, I want to emphasise that poor synthesis

Difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite and clogged eustachian tubes.
It is known that a symptom of difficulty swallowing is associated with B12 deficiency. How I experienced it was not accepted by the medics I hired. At times usually at night I would aspirate/choke on food and sometimes fluid my whole life. This is often called having go down the wrong tube. It was

Update and latest results
Hello again lovely people. I thought I’d come back and update having been on Levo 50mcg since diagnosis 3 months ago. In early January the GP asked me to retest and only TSH was done (big let down but not unexpected)! I was amazed that after only 2 months on Levo 50mcg that my TSH had dropped to 0.44

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

Does this look more Euthyroid and less central hypo now?
Hello everyone, This is my 4th thyroid test (all testing advice adhered to, tests between 9.00-9.40am) over the last 6 months since joining HU and asking for advice. It looks to me like T4 has started to raise. I've listed below all 4 tests for comparison. It's now 47% through the range which seems
