Collagen for Hair Growth?
Hello everyone. My hair has got worse (thinning and brittle) since being on T3/T4 combination therapy so I've been looking at what makes hair healthy and collagen keeps popping up as good nutritional support. I've also discovered another reason could be that I've been taking too much selenium and perhaps

Endo appointment in Liverpool ❤️
Hi everyone 💗 Well I saw a lovely endocrinologist in Liverpool yesterday , they actually do exist 😂 She as agreed with the parathyroid surgeon I need the pet chlorine scan and is organising that, she also said if nothing shows up she will look in to a fine needle aspration👍. We did discuss the probability

Gooddaysagain
I keep reading of tests people have/had, e.g. for Vit B12, Vit D, etc., and specialists they have seen.After over 3 years of being unable to see a GP, I phoned last Friday afternoon in distress. I live alone and sometimes don't know how ill I am until a friend notices and tells me. GP is new, and young

New test results
Hi, Here are the Blue Horizon test results for my friend where I think she's showing hypothyroid because of the low T4. Do you agree? Is Total T4 also a bit low in range, do you think?Next step will probably be to get the gp to test again and check the low T4 wasn't a one off as there's no thyroid panel

Vit D tips please
I have been taking 20 mcg Vit D in 1 dose for some time now Latest D results are 92 (50-160) As it’s a water soluble vitamin, which clears out of the body quickly with water, is it better to split the 20 mcg dose into quarters and take 5 mcg 4 times a day? Thanks for your tips Persevere

Vitamin recommendations?
Hello all. Just doing some research as alongside an underactive thyroid, my vitamin levels are very low. Does anyone have any tips of particularly good vitamins to take, as I’m sure I will need stronger than a standard multivitamin! Have added my levels for reference. TSH 6.51 (R 0.27-4.2)

Is this hypothyroidism?
Hello, a friend just had some thyroid blood tests back from Blue Horizon and I wanted to check with you if you think they're hypothyroid. I'll ask permission from her to post the results in detail but for now I can give a basic overview. Background info, she's often tired and cold, and has mental health

Blood test results and feeling "off"
I did my quarterly thyroid test last week, having brought it forward a bit due to feeling "off" - feeling very tired and lethargic, no libido, muscle weakness...this is despite stable thyroid levels that most would say look very good. Also had a lot of back and neck pain, which has been treated by an

Annual Medication Review
I would be very grateful if any of you lovely people can give me some advice. I have received a text from my GP surgery to book my annual medication review appointment, I can stretch this out for about 5/6 weeks if I need to. I was started on 50 mcg of Levothyroxine in December 2022 and had it increased

Blood tests & upcoming endo appt advice
I had to cancel and rebook my endo blood test last minute as they messed me around with my endo appointment- so my latest blood test wasn't done pre 9am with 24hours from last dose. I had no choice but to go with the blood test offered at 11am unless I moved my endo appointment. I had taken my thyroxine

Has anyone experienced INR fluctuations while holidaying in the Mediterranean?
I am in Greece, different climate, different food, swimming etc. I will have my INR checked on Monday and wondering how much it will be different. Apart from food and drink, I read somewhere that vitamin D can influence INR. What has been your experiences?

Oh dear 😤
I’ve spent an annoying few weeks feeling dizzy, falling over, being sick and slurring my speech, feeling confused. No fuel in tank at all. BP spiking inexplicably. Still trying to get this sorted out at Primary Care Level as waiting list in secondary care in NW England is longer than my life expectancy
