I need to get my Levothyroxine dose increased - I think !
Hello people, what a great forum - I have only now found the confidence to post here, and I really need some advice. I'd had hypothyroid symptoms and high TSH since the end of 2019 but wasn't diagnosed with hashimoto's until May 2023, when my antibody test showed high TPO . I was put on a starter dose

The good doctor
I had a GP appointment this morning (double appointment) for a Medication Review. I haven’t had one since pre-Covid when I lived in a different part of the country. I crept into the surgery with fear in my heart as I prepared to explain the ins and outs of NDT. OH came with me as I was in the middle

Correctly written prescription...do they exist? 🫤
My pharmacist requested that I get my prescription altered to state Vencamil now that Aristo has been dropped by Alliance to stave of future confusion ( it currently mentions both)... I did say that I had tried in the past to get it named but they say that they can't... So I spoke with the Surgery and

Can't tolerate Levothyroxine
Having terrible problems. Diagnosed hypo in August with hypo and hashimotos. Not been able to tolerate any levo meds. Accord 50mcg caused terrible dizziness after about 8 days. Dizziness went when I stopped. Wockhardte 25mcg also caused terrible dizziness and painful constipation within a few days. All

why does t3 decrease t4 levels and can this effect symptoms.
hi peeps I made a post recently but I wanted to see if anyone had any deeper knowledge on this topic. So before starting t3 meds I had a test of TSH 10 FT4 18.1 (12-22) FT3 5.1 (3-6.8) after 4 weeks on t3 meds I started feeling kind of weird and was worried I was overmedicated (first 2 weeks 2.5

levothyroxine 25mcg in brown medicine bottles
Hi All we have on our notes 3 of us from 1 family, no Teva to be given, but recently have been receiving our 25mcg levo in the brown dispensing bottles which we have never had before. I’m hoping the chemist isn’t popping out Teva to prevent us knowing what brand they are. Has anyone else had theirs

Vencamil (branded) vs. Aristo levothyroxine (generic)
Aristo in the UK have decided that supplying both versions of their product is unsupportable. This has caused confusion in distribution and prescribing and dispensing. (Despite the UK having dealt with Eltroxin and Mercury Pharma levothyroxine for many years!) Hence, they are stopping the generic

Gallstones
Hello again 👋 Well I didn't expect this! I'm just out of A&E after a gallstone attack. Excruciating, until the morphine kicked in. I've been given strong painkillers and antibiotics. I'm a bit miffed, as I've been following a Low Fodmap, anti- inflammatory, pescatarian diet for as long as I can remember

Just wondered what members thought of this, on 200mcg Accord Levo. TSH 0.01 range 0.27 to 4.2 FT4 21.2 range 12-22 FT3 5.2 range 3.6-6.8. Does this show poor conversion? I supplement Vitamin D, B12, B complex and folate. I know if my NHS GP sees this he'll reduce dose based on TSH result and I've
