Blood test
I have an app with endocrinologist next week. I know he will want to take bloods so what should i do about my thyroxine . Normally if bloods were taken at 9 I d not take my tablet until after the test but my app isn’t until 1.30. Should I take my levo that day or not??

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

Taking Omeprazole with Levo
I had a total thyroidectomy in 2016 after having a thyroid storm……I have been on various doses of Levo over the following years both up & down doses (at one point only 50mcg per day!)…. I am now taking 75mcg per day & mostly don’t feel too bad….although medical professionals are trying to lower dose

Naltrexone
I am on thyroxine and T3 medication for under active thyroid. A friend was recently prescribed low dose naltrexone to help with inflammation in the body as well as being on thyroid medication. Does anyone know if naltrexone is available to purchase without prescription in the UK as I would like to trial

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s back in 2013, but my TPO has been within

Thyroid Test Results
As a result of my GP pressurising me to reduce Levothyroxine intake I have had tests carried out privately. My weight justifies the dosage of 200mcg daily that is currently prescribed. (1.6mcg/kg) However this dosage results in incredibly low TSH levels. My GP seeks to raise TSH levels. Results are

Haematologist’s unsupportive B12 response
In a recent pathology test, my gastroenterologist was concerned with my low haemoglobin count and a high reticulocyte count. She mentioned that although I’m low in ferritin (40) I’m not yet needing an iron infusion just yet. My white cell count was seemingly low also and she suggested that I should get

iodine to take it or not?

Due to trying for a baby I have resorted to a private nhs gp who specialises in hormone health. She put me on a methylated pregnancy multivit containing iodine as well as referring me to a functional

Thoughts on thyroid labs please
Hi all 32 year old son seems well enough but with a tendency to gain weight although he’s not obese. He’s reasonably active. Not on thyroid replacement He has core nutritional deficiencies despite eating very well but working on correcting these, as per advice on here Blood drawn 2pm, so TSH likely
