Impact of levothyroxine on thyroid direct production of T3
My understanding is the thyroid produces both T4 and T3 although the majority of our T3 comes from conversion of T4 to T3. If we are taking thyroxine only (T4), which is lowering TSH, would it effectively cause a decrease in the amount of T3 being produced directly by the thyroid gland in the scenario

What do my thyroid autoantibody test results mean?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with primary hyper parathyroid disease, and am waiting for surgery to remove a 9mm right side adenoma lying dorsal to the mid/lower pole of the right thyroid. During my ultrasound, the consultant asked if I knew what my thyroid autoantibody results were. He didn't discuss

Thyroid Ultrasound
Hi I posted last year regarding thyroid nodules and someone was asking about thyroid blood tests which I didn’t really have. Well…..things have progressed and I wondered if anyone in the community has any advice on my latest ultrasound results. I had it done privately as NHS was completely dismissive

Hi, I asked about purchasing thyroid s in uk before and someone was kind enough to pm me with the details. At the time I decided not to go ahead, but with my wife now also being prescribed armour the cost is just becoming too much. Could someone advise, please. Thanks

Advice with new ?Thyroid problem
I have been experiencing neck discomfort which at its worst radiates into my jaw and is very unpleasant. Bloods show TSH low at 0.08 and T3 elevated at 8.2. T4 within range at 17.7. GP has requested USS of Thyroid and Endocrine opinion. I have been told it’s possibly Overactive thyroid which is normally

thyroid bloods
hi I always had a higher thyroid reading until I had a partial thyroidectomy. My bloods today are T4 17.2 (12-22) Tsh 0.23 (0.27-4.20) It’s been a while and I’m finding it hard to read this so do you think this is normal ? Thanks

Looking for a substitute for NP Thyroid/Armor Thyroid in Europe
Hello all, I am currently in Europe running out of options to refill my NP Thyroid medication. From what I have found online, Armor Thyroid is an equivalent, and after asking my US Doctor, he said it should be ok to take. I have tried via Roseway labs but, not being a UK citizen, the doctor isn't sure

Surprising thyroid results
I was put on 2 grains of armour by a private thyroid doc, at that point I was feeling ok-ish on 50 Levo and 6 t3. I took 2 grains for 3.5 weeks and started to decrease as I was feeling rapidly and increasingly unwell. I also have a low cortisol output all day and this may have contributed to feeling

You were all right!
Ok I posted a couple weeks back that I had mild active Thyroiditis and TED.....but somewhat blocked the idea of Graves. Saw my endocrinologist today ....firstly he was impressed (thanks to the dedication of my optician) how quickly I had been seen and treatment started ....but feels it looks like Graves

New blood test results after 2 months on Levo
Hi, I posted a while back before I first saw a private GP and was put on 50mg of levothyroxine. Weeks 1-3 or there abouts I felt that things were going well. I felt rested after a nights sleep for the first time in years, increased mental acuity, diminished itching of the skin, decreased thirst,

Unraveling the molecular architecture of autoimmune thyroid diseases at spatial resolution
This appears to be an amazing paper - if you want to understand exactly what happens, where, in Graves' Disease and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Incredible number of images, lots of text - needs a slightly darkened room and lots of time! I've only just seen it so have nothing more to add at this stage.
