Struggling, should I try increase now?
Good morning, Following my post last week, I am now really struggling with hypo symptoms which I think is more to do with reduction of the levo than addition of T3. I didn’t want to rush adding extra T3, have now been on 2.5 T3 for 8 days with levo (87.5x3 & 100x4 days) as I react so badly to changes

Why is my TSH so low when my T4 T3 are so low?
Hi all can some please explain why my TSH is low despite my T4 T3 being low. Correct me if i have got it wrong but i have come to understand that TSH is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate release of more thyroid hormones if levlels are too low. Since 1993 i dont have a thyroid so i am on

TSH Test 1st Timer
Hi all. Looking for some advice please on these test results. TSH - 7.6 (range 0.35-5.00) and Free T4 - 9.4 (range 9.0-21.0). GP has stated to wait another 3 months and re-test to confirm or exclude hypo diagnosis. Symptoms wise I am constantly lethargic, periods are sparse and very irregular or not

Gluten or dairy free?
Hi everyone. I have posted previously about raised antibodies (Anti-TG 347 range <115, and Anti-TPO 53.6 range <34) Now having got my head around this, I can considering a gluten free diet to try to reduce the inflammation. My thyroid appears to be working normally - most recent results with a 9am

new hypo diagnosis but overheating not cold
I have been unwell for over a year after discovering thyroid nodules which have now become diffuse. My Tsh is High and my T4 low and they have given me a starting dose of 25mg Levo. One of the worst symptoms for me has been an absolute inability to tolerate heat and I'm booking all of the time, but

Hi everyone thanks so much for taking the time to get back to me on my last post . I spoke to my GP this morning and she has suggested using a peak flow meter for 2 weeks to see if there’s a pattern that might suggest asthma and also to take tablets for gastric reflux in case that is causing my continued

Blood Tests
Hello I am 2 years post menopausal. I had blood tests done recently and my Alkaline Phosphate & Serum Gamma GT level have come back out of normal range. Has anyone else had this? I’m wondering if menopause is linked to higher Liver readings.

Early morning blood tests
I see on other posts that an early morning blood test before 09:00hrs is suggested for an accurate reading. I went to have bloods taken yesterday morning at 08:55hrs for ferritin. My phlebotomist found that my blood flow was a bit on the slow side... but ok for the lab test. She thought she might have

dads TSH LEVEL
I was chatting to my dad on Sunday and he can access all his blood results. He was telling me they have just reduced his levo from 100mcg a day to 75-100 alternative days. I asked what his TSH was and he said 5.2 (0.2-4.4) he is 82! Can anyone think of a feasible reason they are keeping his TSH so high

Mental health in T1 diabetes

Who is confused? My surgery or me?
I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that

Possible Overmedication Woes
I switched to T4/T3 combo in December, I'm self sourcing Tiromel. I was at that point taking 200mcg of Levo, felt okish but felt T3 could be higher it was 5.2 on a range of 3.1-6.8. This was a private test in October. I didnt want to add more Levo so following advice decoded to try some T3. Added 6.25mcg

Is my T4 still too high ?
I’ve just had my bloods done and my results are the same as last year except my T3 has come down from 6.2 to 6.0 I take 100mcg 5 days & 75mcg 2 days a week along with 10mcg Thybon all in one dose.My question is should I reduce Thyroxine to try to bring it down a bit more as I’ve read there are risks

Boom!! Dexa Scan Normal.
I'm on T3 medication only, which was prescribed very reluctantly by my NHS endo. I've slowly upped my dose over the last 12 months, and whilst he was happy (ish) to prescribe 60mcg per day, he pretty much flipped his lid at our last appointment in January when I told him I was taking 80mcg (and all in
