blood pressure
Hi, Has anyone experienced high blood pressure and do you know if this is from too much medication or a hypo symptom? I am homozygous dio2 and T4 on last bloods was 15 (10-22) and t3 was 6.6 (3.1-6.8). At the time I was on 87.5 T4 and 20 T3 but I had only been on the 20 T3 for a few weeks when my

Is there any correlation between low thyroid hormones & spinal stenosis
Hi, Just curious. Was just diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis. I believe it has been going on for years & reasons to believe possibly not acquired but congenital. I know thyroid issues do not cause it & if there is a congenital aspect to mine of course it is not the reason. But researching any links

Sky high hba1c
I was diagnosed May/June 23. I had just had my diabetes check and all was OK. Fast forward to December check and definitely not ok! I had been eating low carb and had lost weight. Life became very difficult from October with a nasty fall, mental heath crisis for our grandson while we were looking

Important caveat regarding estrogen therapy
Prof. Richard Wassersug tells me that estrogen therapy may be contraindicated if you have a BRCA 1 or 2 gene mutation. You can get a free, saliva germline genetic test of 30 genes from Color, Inc. as part of the PROMISE registry.

Obtaining T3 in the UK
Hi My T4 is high (22.2) and T3 low (4.0). It appears I am a poor converter of T4 to T3 and would benefit from taking T3. I am aware the doctors won’t even test for T3 levels, let alone prescribe it. Can anyone recommend a reliable company that sells T3 or even a way to get prescribed in the UK. In

Blood in urine!
Hi, Feeling extremely anxious as a dip test by the GP just before Christmas showed blood in the sample…couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. I had gone to see the GP because of frequent peeing during the night but with no pain. He sent the sample off to the lab to check for infection and prescribed

Implications of positive if ‘weak ANA test’?
I have dry-eye confirmed by Moorfield’s. I also have dry mouth and my dentist said she suspected I had Sjorgren’s. When tested I proved to have a ‘weak positive ANA test’. What, if anything does that mean?

10yo daughters results…HELP!
Hello, I have posted before regarding my daughter who is 10yo but we have just had some very unusual and worrying results which may explain her health issues. She has a long term history of low platelets and I’ve been trying to solve this for her as it has been unexplained. We have strong family history

Low ferritin again
Unsurprisingly my ferritin has fallen back to the very bottom of the range yet again after i ceased iron supplements back in march. Raised a call with the surgery this morning and within 6 minutes of raising the call online it had been closed by the enhanced care practitioner as saying no action required

How do you work out your percentage through the range please?
0.27 - 4.2 R 2.4 mIU/L FREE T3 3.1 - 6.8 R 3.7 pmol/L FREE THYROXINE 12 - 22 R 12.6 pmol/L How do you convert your results into a percentage of the total range please? I thought you took the top of the range figure as 100% then worked out 1% then multiplied by the result but I don’t think

Sensitive - How long does it take to get a negative pregnancy test after miscarriage?
Hi all, I took medication for a miscarriage on Dec 23rd (due to a empty 3cm sac). I was told the hcg pregnancy test should be negative 3 weeks after, which will be Saturday. I took the HCG test this morning and the test line is still almost as dark as the control. I was expecting the test to be negative

Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia: Potential Risk Factors in Bone Loss
Members are likely all too familiar with patients being told that they are suffering osteopenia or osteoporosis due to having too much thyroid hormone. And, especially, too much T3. While it is important to realise that there is a case to be made regarding excess thyroid hormone, it is just as important

Infertility and endo options
Currently starting second round of IVF (x2 embryos in round 1 with x1 negative pregnancy test and x1 embryo left frozen) with endo still on uterosacral ligaments, pelvis and bowel vaginal wall. Been trying to find consistent & clear guidance whether to have remaining endo removed before further embryo
