Are rats and humans really comparable?
Just curious, because I have been reading so much about how levothyroxine fails to restore euthyroidism in all tissues. However, all studies I have come across have examined thyroidectomized rats. But, can rats really be compared to humans? As far as I know, rodents have a very fast metabolism (I used

I'm pretty sure my gp is going to ring to discuss the results and i want to make sure i know what to say. Should i start taking a B12? Also should i stay on the iron patches? 🤔 I should

Is suppressed TSH more likely with secondary hypothyroidism?
Calling all the members who have Central hypothyroidism - is your TSH suppressed? I may have Central hypothyroidism but it’s not diagnosed. An appointment has been made for me to see a GP on Thursday after I wrote a letter complaining that my dose of Levo has been reduced (by text - no consultation)

Mayo Clinic studies B12 def, are very interesting!!
Check these studies out! I printed a few copies for my medical practice Abstract Although cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency was described over a century ago, it is still difficult to establish the correct diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment. Symptoms related to vitamin B12 deficiency may

Should I accept dose reduction?
My TSH dropped from 4.98 on diagnosis to below 1 as soon as I started Levo in 2020. For the past two years it’s been 0.01-0.03. It dropped that low when I went up to 100mcg in 2021. I accepted I was over medicated from advice here ( FT4 24.9, FT3 6.5) and because I was losing weight and I reduced

Timing of Blood test
Hi all, I had my thyroid levels checked recently after being on my current increased dose of levothyroxine 125mcg for 8 weeks. I was previously on 100mcg, which was my starting dose as I've recently been diagnosed as having hypothyroidism. I read on this forum that I should take my last dose of levothyroxine

Fasting bloods help
Hey so I have a blood test today at 11.30.I know you're not supposed to eat or take levo before bloods. My issue is my blood pressure tends to drop during blood tests and I feel and can faint. If I take my levo after my test, I still can't eat until 12.30 or more depending on when the test is done and
