Another 8 weeks on. Advice, please
Hi everyone. Background: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism some years ago, but only discovered last November (2023), thanks to the forum, that I have an atrophied thyroid. Also, upped my dose of Levothyroxine in early October from 100 mcg Levothyroxine 3 times a week and 125 4 times a week plus 10mcg

Tired all the time
Lately I feel tired all the time, from when I wake up to when I go to bed in the evening, despite the fact that I sleep more than 8 hours per night. I take a lot of supplements (calcium, D3, folate, complex B, magnesium glycinate, heme iron),
the only value that was low was ferritin
but I do take

Can Someone be in the normal TSH range but still be suffering from Hypothyroidism
My daughter has been suffering multiple symptoms, reoccurring urology issues, aches and pains, IBS to name but a few. Her GP’s have only ever tested for TSH which has always been in the middle of the range. As I have autoimmune hypothyroidism as well as an autoimmune blood disorder should they be

Asking to learn
Sorry for all the questions but you all have been so helpful. If your hypothyroidism is secondary shouldn't your medication be based on your free levels and not your tsh?

Secondary hypothyroidism
Has anyone had problems with central hypothyroidism and their tsh going to zero. Doctor refusing to raise levothyroxine because it will suppress tsh to much but my free t4 really needs a raise. Does a low tsh really cause afib and osteoarthritis or is this false.

Medichecks results, please advise
Hi Everyone, posting my 1st ever private blood tests. Please can anyone comment, I'm quite new to this. The results came with a Dr's overview, so I'll be taking Vit D supplements but the other results appeared 'normal'. What do you think? And do the autoimmunity antibodies indicate Hashimoto's or am

Test results show no inflammation
I posted here 4 months ago and got my blood tested by the GP. There are no inflammatory markers in my blood, but I have a constant sore throat and dry eyes which are also beginning to suffer with high pressure. I am paying privately to have my eyes checked out by a specialist, but I just wanted to check

Advice on new bloods following T3 trial - Improvement in T3 😃 but v low TSH 🙁
My latest blood tests are below. I’ve had these done as I’m due for annual GP bloods in a week and wanted to know more than simply my TSH. I’ve been trialling T3 (sourced privately) and this has made a big difference, my % through range is much improved. I’ve been feeling better - less exhausted, fewer

Further thyroid bloods advice needed.
Hi everyone I'm looking a check on my recent blood results. For context I am focused on improving my thyroid results and symptoms for general wellbeing and also in relation to fertility. I introduced some T3 over the past 6weeks but from bloods I can't see that it has improved my bloods too much. Symptom

TSH result
I had a blood test yesterday as I haven’t felt great recently. Unfortunately as it was a cancellation I had taken my 100 thyroxine that morning. The test was done at 11.40. The nurse said it wouldn’t matter. The result today is 0.67.mu/L. I know they will say this is within the norm and won’t do anything

It felt like Levothyroxine was poisoning me :(
It felt like Levothyroxine was poisoning me :( Hi all, Im new here and this is my first post. On the 20th Dec 23 I came off of my dose of 150 Levothyroxine completely (cold turkey). It genuinely felt as if I was being slowly poisoned. I was constantly shattered, I couldn't think straight, i was so,

sudden drop in thyroid results!!
I recently had some health concerns which are still being investigated, in the meantime a new symptom of swollen face has occurred and I seem to of gained all the weight I just lost. I got some thyroid results today and was shocked to see how they have decreased when I usually have a steady result.

Can levothyroxine cause hypothyroidism?

Before starting levo I had some symptoms: dry,fine hair, some cognitive issues... but I felt almost healthy and was active 17 hours a day). When levo was prescribed, I felt very cold and

antidepressants and the thyroid
Is there any evidence that antidepressants affect the role of the thyroid (production/conversion of thyroxine etc)? Any information gratefully appreciated.

T3 only. No tests to compare to, only TSH. How much T3?
I have had a very rocky road trying to get better with Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism. When on levothyroxine only, I had increased via GP from 25mg to 50mg and then I needed an increase to 75mg. A lot happened but now I am with my second endocrinologist (my choice) who has prescribed T3 only due to levothyroxine
