Levothyroxine and itchyness
Hi, Long time since I posted however I've been having rashes in the groin area and general itching all over for nearly two years and I finally got a face to face appointment with dermatology a few weeks ago and a full blood test. Results have come back and they say "your thyroid function tests are

Stability of NDT at 5C - stored in the fridge
Hello lovely people I am an idiot! It’s official. I’ve been storing my NDT in the fridge instead of at room temperature. Efra (the manufacturer) have said they have no data to confirm if it’s still effective, so said I should stop taking it. That’s £300 worth of NDT, which I just cannot afford to throw

Hi I have just checked my last thyroid results and my Free T4 is rising and TSH is low. My dose has been the same for 18 months and I haven't changed diet or been taking supplements. 26/04/22 Free T4 was 13.3 and TSH 6.2. My dose was increased from 75mcg to 100mcg. Since then trend has been: 09/06

High Free T4 with hypothyroidism?
I've had hypothyroidism for about 15 years and been on levothyroxine all that time. It's never really got me back to feeling great but this year I'm dreadful. They raised my levo to 200mcg in July and the effect has been a disaster. I lost 50% of my hair and bedridden on too many days. Gradually reducing

Graves disease symptoms?
Hi there, I'm newly diagnosed (by UK GP) with Graves disease, and am waiting to see an endocrinologist who is supposed to prescribe me carbimazole. I have a question about my symptoms, which are mild but seem more consistent with hypO than hypERthyroidism: My blood test results were: -Free T3: 13.8

Levothyroxine side effects - sleep
Hello, very new here. I’ve recently started Levothyroxine after trying to conceive with no luck. My TSH is “subclinical” at 6. The doctor has put me on 75micrograms and I have been on them for a week. Is it quite normal to feel jittery off them or am I on too strong of a dose? My symptoms include:

Normal TSH but symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Hi, looking for advice. I've been on Levothyroxine 50mg dose for 3 years. My last TSH was 2.75 so within normal range but my hair is thinning, I'm always cold, sometimes constipated and low pulse rate, sometimes as low as 50 and I'm no athlete. MyGP only tests TSH should I ask for more tests?

Over-treatment

Recently, as the fatigue had become difficult after having covid, I found my B12 levels were low, so I started treatment for that. My fatigue improved about 2 weeks later. I looked at my

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.

Latest results.
Hi all. I wonder if you could share your thoughts on my latest results. My levothyroxine has been increased from 50 to 75mg. I have had a very sore mouth and tongue for over 12 months and was hoping if my B12 levels increased and my levothyroxine was working well, it would go. It hasn’t. My B12
