Underactive thyroid
Hi, my thyroid levels have been up and down recently. I've been on 125mcg and felt fine until the GP decided, after a blood test, to lower the dose. The dosage I need isn't available so I'm now on 100mcg for 5 days and then 112mcg for 2 days. Is this an ok thing to do? Thanks.

Help with blood test results
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos over 40 yrs ago following removal of thyroid gland due to large goitre. Had some blood tests requested by my private Endo and just seen the result of one in particular in my GP app (even tho surgery said they couldn’t carry out the blood tests for private patients!). They

What happens to your thyroid levels
Question of curiosity. If someone is having a seizure and they take bloods for thyroid levels would your labs show a low level of thyroid hormones or would it show a higher level of hormones? I thought I read that if it you fall ill like have a seizure that your levels will drop to protect you???

Any advice appreciated
Good Morning Thank you for allowing me to join the community. Thank you for helping us all. I have been going to my gp for sometime with low thyroid symptoms but they say the blood test is normal. My mother had a parathyroid tumour removed in her forties and my brothers and mother have underactive thyroids

Unbelievable Endo setting the record straight on weight gain …
People often blame the thyroid when they put on weight. Is it usually to blame? That’s one of things that our society overplays. In truth, the weight gain associated with untreated hypothyroidism is generally just a few pounds — we’re not talking 50 or 60. Your thyroid doesn’t make you crave food; it

Thyroid question please...
Hi everyone, I am writing to ask if you can have a sore thyroid without significant enlargement and with 'normal' bloods? I have had 'normal' bloods, it doesn't seem visually enlarged, though I feel like I am being strangled and have audible sounds when I swallow in my ears. When I move my head something

Radiation for cancer other than thyroid.
Does radiation treatment for breast cancer affect thyroid medications? Does dose need to be adjusted during or after treatment?

Elevated Diastolic Blood Pressure & Thyroid?
I’ve read that thyroid issues can increase diastolic blood pressure while systolic remains normal. I’ve been seeing a slight increase / trend with this. Has anyone else seen this and it meant levothyroxine increase needed?

Parathyroid test is high
I've recently had a blood test (yearly bloods) to check my thyroid levels as I have an under active thyroid. My doctor also did my Parathyroid which has shown up as high and he's referred me to an endocrinologist. Does anyone know what this means?
