Still having symptoms of hypothyroidism despite medication - any advice?
I wondered if anyone could please share their thoughts on my situation. I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism around 8 years ago, but didn’t have any symptoms (apart from some fatigue). Then, after contracting COVID in 2020, I began to have symptoms like 30-35lb weight gain (unexplained),

B supplement
Please could you advise me if it is OK to take Homocystix Plus as a B supplement? I have been taking Thorne Basic Plus and Nature's Best Vit B 12. However Vit B12 now over 500. I started flushing more and think I'm developing Rosacea . Looked online and found Niacin can be a factor in flushing. Also

what to ask GP
I’ve been on a low dose of Levo for about 3 years. It took ages to get up to 50mg a day as I’m really sensitive to it. Because of palpitations, tummy upsets etc I now split 50mg into two separate doses ; 25mg in morning and 25mg at night and I’ve been fine doing this since December last year. My test

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

hi lovely warriors, I hope you’re all keeping strong and positive on your journeys xx We are preparing for new fresh cycle , the consultant advised to take impryl (for both me and husband) and 200 mg coq10 x 3 a day. Today I was reading Impryl website and it says not to mix with coq10. Now I’m wondering

Being gas-lit: NOT Hypothyroidism, it’s Silent Reflux says Consultant Thyroid/ENT – Advice requested.
I’m now 73. It’s six years since I first presented to a GP with a swelling on my neck and poor concentration, which within a fortnight progressed to include zombie-like brain fog. Fearing lymphoma I was fast-tracked for an ultrasound scan on my thyroid which showed multiple tiny swellings on my left

endometriosis or arthritis
Hi all, just to tell you a little something about me so that you understand why I’m asking this - I have pretty poor health: I have hypothyroidism, endometriosis, adenomyosis and my vitamin levels tend to be low so probably some difficulty with absorption - I supplement my vitamin d (20000 in weekly

Really frustrated
Hello, it's been a while since I last posted as I've really not been feeling myself. I was put on 25mg of levothyroxaine 6 months ago due to being sub clinical hypo after a bout of very painful De Quervains thyroiditis as I was TSH 7.3 (03 - 4.30) and FT4 9 ( 8.9 - 17.3) TP0 38 <6 I was upped to

How often to increase t3
I started on 6.25 mcg of t3 and increased by 6.25 every 5-7 days. I've been on 31.25 mcg for 2 weeks now and feel exactly the same= dreadful. Shall I keep increasing or wait? I'm also taking 50 mcg of t4. I'm monitoring and taking iron, b12 and vitamin d. I was also taking selenium but stopped now.

Anaemia query
Is it at all possible to have some form of anaemia, even though blood results dont support that or are inconclusive? I havent felt well now for 4 years and have driven myself to distraction trying to pin down what is going on-convinced myself I was hypothyroid but Im not. Ive just had blood tests again

Vitamin D
I received lots of good advice, including to look at taking
vitamin
d
. I then received my latest bloods showing a
vitamin
d
deficiency
. So I have ordered my
vitamin
d
with my tesco delivery. Has taking vitamin d helped others with their asthma.

Very rapid weight gain, dose increase
Hi all, I first posted a few weeks ago as a new GP prescribed T3 but didn't tell me to start low and slow so I just started with 20mg of Thybon for 2 weeks and felt horrendous (so exhausted). TiggerMe suggested that my T4 wasn't optimal (neither was Vit D, Folate, Ferritin) so I stopped the T3 and

Unsure about increasing T3
Hi Everyone, I’ve had my appointment with my thyroid specialist today and she wants me to increase my T3 from 15mcg a day to 25mcg a day and keep levo at 100mcg. However I’m really hesitant to do this as last time I increased my T3 (see my original post below) I got my T4 to 6 and felt awful. Plus I
