Poor GP response for years!
Hello. First time poster here Long story short I have been taking Levothyroxine for around 8 years and within this time I have had a constant battle with my GP to manage my symptoms. Unfortunately I have found that it does depend on which GP you get as to whether they will increase Levothyroxine.

PCOS vs Hashimostos
Hi. I've just had the results from my Medichecks "Ultimate Performance" test and I am really very concerned. I took the blood test first thing in the morning after fasting and avoided levothyroxine for 24hrs. The excellent accompanying letter (from a female GP) strongly indicates PCOS which seems

Folic Acid - Fatigue and Methotrexate
Hi, I've not posted for a long while but do still read the daily email posts. I've been on Methotrexate 10mg injections since Dec 2018.I started with 5mg Folic Acid once a week. Two year ago that was upped to 2 x 5mg a week. I suffer from fatigue, which seems to be getting worse as time goes by.

Advice on latest test results
Hi, I got diagnosed with underactive thyroid in September 2023. I was put on 50g of Levothyroxine and iron tablets as I had low ferritin and anemic. My latest results show I'm no longer anemic but my ferritin is still relativity low despite having been on iron tablets for 2 months. Dr seems to be

Thyroid Lab Error
I've had thyroid disorder now for many years and it's been well managed. Now I'm pregnant and getting tested every month. I had a weird experience where my tested my TSH as 4.8 (0.4-4). That raised alarm bells so I went to a private clinic to get full blood work (FT3, FT4, vitamins and minerals etc.)

Intermittent fasting (daily 16:8) while taking Levothyroxine - to control weight. Your thoughts please, Is this ok or not advisable?
I’ve read that leaving 16 hours in between eating or drinking anything other than water is an effective way for the body to burn its fat stores. Then during the 8 hour window that you do have food, you make sure you are consuming all the beneficial vitamins, minerals, protein, etc. and sufficient calories

Waiting for diagnosis
Hi, It's been 12 months and i am still waiting for a diagnosis for my tiredness. It started in August 2022 and i had extreme tiredness. My Doctor prescribed folic acid as my folate level was low. I did that for 4 months and then had bloods again. My vitamin D was low so i did another 4 month course.

What TSH level is too low on NDT + low sodium
Hi All, I switched to NDT 6 weeks ago and have been dialing in my dose. I take Erfa NDT. I raised it up to 1 3/4 tablets, and have just tested my thyroid. I've read a lot of discussions here about NDT and TSH and from what I understand, from this big study when TSH gets lower than 0.3, it increases

Baseline test recommendations?
EDIT - latest blood tests added to the bottom. Hi, starting my journey towards trialling some T3 due to extreme fatigue, weight gain and other symptoms. I’ve been on levothyroxine for 10 years (age 36-46), since fertility treatment picked up that I’d actually been underactive for a long time. Anyway

Alternative therapy recommendations
https://youtu.be/JlgqllPKQUA?si=b3WUwsYVmLWhMXt1Found this today and I feel it's helped. All about getting your lymphatic system moving and it's very simple to do. Also I've been taking moringa powder and dried sea buckthorn berries for the last few days, along with magnesium my doctor recommended.

Would t3 benefit me? Latest bloods
hi, I have hashinotos and take 125mcg of thyroxine. I don’t feel great. I’ve just started a gluten free diet and take iron and folate as both were low. I’ve been taking them for 8 weeks and have just had the levels tested so can share all those results when I have them. I wondered if t3 may help me
