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

CT scan instead of gastroscopy / colonoscopy with all PA tests normal
My Active B12 was just about into the sufficient range. My H Pylorii was negative, as was anti IFAB and coeliac. Homocysteine was fine too. My neurologist’s physical exam was normal ( though the sharp stimulus was a little less sharp on the feet. ) I have been taking sublingual B12 and the tingling

My RLS has settled for the time being. Thank you for the information and support!
For the past six months, I've been RLS free! I'm so happy about this and it has made such a difference to my sleep and wellbeing. I have the wonderful, supportive people on here to thank, and especially SueJohnson. Because I received such a good amount of information last year, I was able to check

Advice Needed Following Test Results
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 2023 and started on a 50mcg dose of Levothyroxine. In March this year, my GP increased this to 75mcg (50mcg Accord and 25mcg Mercury Pharma). This week I took a private blood test to check my latest thyroid and vitamin status. These are my latest thyroid

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

Advice needed...
After being on 125mcg Levo for 25 years it was reduced to 100mch last year as my GP said my blood results were indicating over-medicating. I asked for an Endo referral and he carried out a blood test which showed the following... TSH 7.01 T4 13 T3 3.6 He then advised my GP to increase Levo to 125mcg

NAC and Thyroid Antibodies
Currently hypothyroid, high TgAB, TPO and TSI normal. Am on 600mcg of levothyroxine across the week. Has anyone had success in reducing thyroid antibodies by taking NAC? What other supplements do you take to support thyroid health besides vit D, iron, B12, Folate? These are already under control
