Feeling cold despite overactive thyroid
I feel the cold all the time but GPs can't seem to find an issue. I'm currently in a heated home with three jumpers and two pairs of socks on, plus a blanket! GP did full blood tests, showing an overactive thyroid but all other tests within range (detailed below). I take 100mcg Levothyroxine a day and

Possible over treatment with Levothyroxine
Hi everyone, I’m new to the site. It was suggested that I make a post following a comment I made replying to another post as I may benefit from some guidance on my current treatment. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid 9 years ago. I have been treated with Levothyroxine throughout. Since 2020

NDT advice please
Hello everyone I’m on T4/T3 combined meds for UAT. I read on here about people being on NDT, I’ve never tried it or been offered it. How do you go about trying to get a trial? It’s obviously an Endo route but are they even receptive to this as an option if you ask? I’m very curious to find out if this

Never going to A and E again, 5th visit.
I was feeling so ill yesterday i went to A and E again. I showed them my private blood test, oxygen levels and my neck. They said they had to do their own bloods and did TSH after i had just eaten and at 1pm. I said this would not be accurate but they did not agree. (2.95). They then said my saturation

interpreting results
Hi everyone, I’ve recently ordered a blood test to check my TSH, T4 and T3 levels. I’m also having my antibodies, ferritin, vit D, B12 and folate checked aswell. I’m fine interpreting the results of the vitamins and minerals, and I also understand that the higher the TSH the more underactive you are

Are meds causing symptoms?
Morning all,I'm experiencing some symptoms that are probably caused by my medication. So after a long journey not feeling well since pace and ablate, and recent blood tests showed my thyroid TSH levels were low and BNP levels 3x higher than normal and still have AF. Had a radioactive scan on thyroid

Thyroid, Hair Loss and Magnesium
Good Morning! If anyone could give me alittle I would be very grateful. I have high blood pressure and was pre diabetic which I now have under control, but read that magnesium was very good for both, hence started to take it. I didnt realise though that magnesium can impede some medications to my horror

Thyroid, Cortisol And Sodium Question
Hi All, Got my latest results and it's a bit messy. I got off NDT 1,5 grains and switched to 88 mcg of levo, my old levo I was on before. Prior to that, I was on 75/88 mcg, alternating. So I increased and now re-checked my bloods after 8 weeks. Btw, I'm well versed in everything recommended here

Thyroxine dose
Hi Just wonder if I am on a correct dose of Thyroxine as I am taking 100mcg thyroxine tablet and 10mg of T3 each morning. But my recent blood result show T4 is 15.3 pmol/L and TSH LEVEL IS 0.22 mu/L. My GP said the level are high and should reduce the dose to 75mcg of thyroxine. I am not sure. Appreciate

T3 24 hours before Test
My last tests I took my T4 & T3 , 24 hours before test, by mistake. Madness! After the test I added an additional 6.25mcg T3. Only just realised as my insulin resistance has kicked in massively. Tests- Otherwise, fasting yes, no biotin. So I took both 24 hours before test; T4 131.25 mcg & T3 6.25
