Are Urine tests for Thyroid problems available anywhere?
Many years ago my mother eventually found a solution for her total immobility, weakness, tiredness, and brain fog. It was a thyroid problem. It had not shown up in blood tests. She wrote the following:- [i]

Newly diagnosed
Hello, Just yesterday I have been diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos hypothyroidism. Starting on a dose of levothyroxine 50mg once a day. As my TSH is only slight elevated I was just wondering what I can expect going forward in terms of dosage. I completely get that it will be different for everyone

Discrimination against central/secondary hypothyroidism
Just had a phone call from a GP at my health practise. They had asked for advice from the endocrinologists at the local hospital. This was because my blood test results indicate that my TSH does not rise as my T4 falls and I have hyperthyroid symptoms plus ultrasound scan showing thyroiditis. Apparently

FT3 often higher than FT4; are my symptoms even hypo?
Hello everyone! I've been hypo now for a bit more than two years. Probably three or more, but diagnosed 2 years ago, and also taken levo since then. As doctors can be a bit difficult, and I have felt with no other choice, I have raised my levo dose myself several times. Otherwise I would still be

Wanted to say a special thank you to Jaydee1507 and SlowDragon for giving me their very kind and most informative advice. I was feeling quite stressed at the prospect of having to have a telephone consultation with my GP and feared a low TSH was going to result in being told a reduction in levo would

How to ask the GP for a referral letter
I've been given details of an endo who may be able to help me, he's NHS linked but I would see him privately (at least initially). However he requires a GP's referral letter. Any advice on how to ask my NHS GP for this as I've never had an NHS acknowledgement of my Hashi's (my TSH has never been anywhere

what to ask GP
I’ve been on a low dose of Levo for about 3 years. It took ages to get up to 50mg a day as I’m really sensitive to it. Because of palpitations, tummy upsets etc I now split 50mg into two separate doses ; 25mg in morning and 25mg at night and I’ve been fine doing this since December last year. My test

UPDATE How to gradually reduce dosage of desiccated thyroid (armour)?
A couple of weeks ago I posted asking about how would you go about reducing medication for genetic hypothyroidism. I was on 6 grains of Armour Thyroid which concerts roughly to 54mcg of t3 and 228mcg of T4. On this dosage I get in the higher quarter/ third of range for t3 and despite my average heart

Hi everybody, I've posted several times lately and I just wanted to ask for advice on thyroid related issues. I had COVID 3 times from June 22 - Jan 23 and was symptomatic each time. I did have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia in 2018 but had been feeling a lot better in 2020 until I got COVID. Above
