normal TSH help.
I am about to go to the doctors in an hour to speak about some blood tests I had done last week. To me the results are on the higher side. From what I’m reading most doctors don’t like to do antibody tests and t3 and t4. How can I persuade them to do these just to check my levels? I had lots of other

Happy to be Here again!
I'm so happy to be back. Still on hyperthyroidism medications since 2020. My doc said we can't just stop it all like that with series of TSH tests and reviews monthly, hopefully all medications will stop one day😊

Success with GP - for now
Just had an appointment with my GP and after lots of persuasion and me quoting NICE guidelines at him, he's agreed to reinstate my previous daily 100mcg Levo. 🥳This does come with the condition of reassessing in 6-8 weeks after bloods done. (I'll cross that bridge when I get there) I got the usual

Normal TSH, but High FT4?
Hi everyone, Despite two endocrinologists confirming my thyroid is 'normal', I'm experiencing symptoms of an overactive thyroid like sweating, anxiety, and weight issues. My recent blood tests show a TSH of 1.58 mIU/L (optimal) but an FT4 of 24.4 pmol/L, which the lab deems high. I've heard that reference

Difference in levels-stress?
I've been on leventhyroxine for years for underactive thyroid. Had yearly check muddle of Feb. TSH 2.09. Had full bloods for something else (WRS) and levels are 0.36 by middle if April. I'm wondering if stress can cause TSH to go up or down? Dr. Says this is in normal range for lab- but normal

Thyroid S - still struggling
I started on Thyroid S two years ago, having previously been on TR.Mann. I am still struggling with it, wondering how others are doing? Would love to hear how others get on without a thyroid and what medication they take.

thyroid-s
Guys, can someone DM me where do you get thyroid-s from please. I used to take NP thyoid but the prices are on crack right now! Ridiculous! Need to get supply but don’t want to send money to any dodgy shops. Thanks.

Changing to ERFA
Hi guys. I’ve been taking armour for a few years, but I find I’ve been getting chest pains, and struggling with various symptoms. Does anyone here take ERFA? That option is open to me, but I wanted to get some information first before making a switch. I’m even considering synthetic T3/T4 combo. Any

TPO positive, history of early miscarriage's, no need to medicate however still being referred to endocrinologist?
Previously when speaking with my GP's I have not really got very far and didn't really feel like my concerns were being addressed or even acknowledged. No face to face or even telephone conversations, just the same old cycle of being sent for bloods then being told all ok or 'currently stable' etc.

A few Things ….
1. I had an ACTH test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine. I had a small bowl of plain porridge and nothing else, except water

anybody had these tests before?
Hi Everyone Long time, no post so I apologise. Since I last spoke to anyone I have been diagnosed with Osteoperosis, so fighting a number of demons. My Rheumatologist has been concerned about my ever decreasing levels of calcium despite eating calcium rich food and doubling my prescribed Calcium supplements

Update to last post: What does T4 do?
Hi Thanks for all the help when I asked the question about T4, while prepping for my appointment. The appointment went well, I got a GP with ears! GP wanted to discuss the last endo letter saying that I can't have T4 increase unless I agree to give up my "self medicating habit." I explained that I
