Having been on a combination T3 plus levo trial for a year, these are my latest results. I am on the trial because my last results indicated I am a poor converter. I was knocked back from taking 100mcg levo to 75mcg by a doctor who doesn't know me when my TSH lowered because I was newly on T3. Of which

Banging my head against a brick wall!
First, let me start by saying I've being reading post after post and this forum seems very well informed, helpful and respectful. My wife and I have been looking for answers to her health condition, which I believe, is Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, for nearly 10 years! I've taken on the role of researching

improved blood work, am I a good converter or do I need support?
I’m still not out of the woods yet, but I’m happy to see some improvement. Here’s my latest results. The not so good news is d-dimer is still elevated but has come down, cholesterol is the same, but hasn’t got worse, my sex binding globe is still high, I’ve overdosed on vitamin D, and TPO has gone

Goitre and antibodies but bloods all fine
Hi, I developed a fairly big lump in my neck in July 23. Did the 2 week wait thing and had an ultrasound and saw an ENT consultant. They diagnosed a thyroid nodule and said it looked normal with no need for FNA. Consultant asked for endo to see me and I am still waiting for this or any acknowledgment

Advice on latest thyroid test
I am seeing GP tomorrow regarding latest blood tests. Currently take 125mg levothyroxine. TSH 0.32 (-65%) 0.35-4.94 T4 15.3 (62.38%) 9-19.1 T3 4.3 (52.78%) 2.4-6.0 TSH was flagged as Abnormal so GP will mention that - it was 1.08 in Feb and 1.25 last October (same ranges) but no T4 or T3 tested.

Suspected Pernicious Anemia - what next?
Hello, I am very glad to have found this forum as I have been researching B12D and PA a lot recently. I became familiar with the society’s website and found it so helpful. I am 29F in the US and I suspect I have Pernicious Anemia. This is what I know so far (sorry in advance if this post rambles on)

Blood results update
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

Latest results on armour
I’ve just been sent some results by my private doc. She asked that I swap from 50 Levo/6 t3 at the beginning of June to 2 grains of armour. After 3 weeks I hit a wall and have reduced it to 1 grain and now 1/2 grain fro the past week as I just felt so awful on it. Any thoughts welcome. TSH: 0.025 (

My latest blood results
Following my last post with my hypo blood results, my extreme tiredness has been officially diagnosed as, Exhaustion! I was quite relieved that it wasn't anything else like my heart or other. Anyway, to be sure, my Doc ordered a blood test, which included at least 13 items. I got the results on Tuesday

Should I increase my dose of Levo?
My potted history is in my profile. My current predicament is that after 7 months of feeling awful, on 5th July I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (I could have told them earlier myself!), given Levothyroxine by the endocrinologist (50 micrograms per day), who said would test me again in two months.

Active b12 versus serum b12
My Medichecks active b12 is 63.1 (range is 37.5-188) but my serum b12 tested at my gp surgery shows top of range. Should I supplement? I also have hypothyroidism. Thank you

Second attempt at Monitor my Health results in hope to link with high HR
As requested here are the results of my second attempt at Monitor my Health at their more sophisticated tests with thyroid, anemia/ ferritin, b12/ folate etc too. Most failed to produce results as Post Office 24 hour tracking show the blood sample was literally sitting in the Exeter sorting office for

Serum b12 V Active b12
I’ve just received my active b12 result from Medichecks. It was 63.1 yet my recent serum b12 from my GP surgery was over the top of the range. Over the years I have always had top of range serum levels . Should I supplement with vitamin b12? Thank you

Increase injections?
I currently self inject once a week - I started about 3 months ago as I was having lots of pins and needles and burning in my hands, arms and feet. GP agreed to 10 weekly injections and I’ve continued with those without mentioning the self injecting. I always had a really strong reaction one or two days
