Is it normal to feel anxious when adding Armour?
I just started taking an extra 1/4 grain of Armour. I feel a bit edgy and anxious. Is this typical for an adjustment period? My previous dose was 88mcg Synthroid and 1/4 grain Armour. Adding 1/4 grain because my most recent lab results were this: August 9, 2022 TSH - 4.12 mIU/L …Range: .4-4.50 mIU

what do you do when you feel a cold coming on?
any magic potions, supplements, herbs? I just started sneezing, my husband just had it, I’d really like to keep it from getting worse. Now that I’m finally getting better sleep. Sneezing kept waking me last night. I’ve heard megadose vitamin A 50-100,000 iu for 3-5 days, same with vitamin D, 3-5

Starting to feel bad again
Hello everyone! (sorry for the long post) I posted here about a year ago in regards to my test results and my GP's certainty that my labs were normal. I was trying to find that past post so I could remember all the details, but I dont know if it's been deleted since? Or if I'm being technologically

Further frustrations with NHS
I wrote some time ago about a borderline low B12 test and had some very helpful feedback from this group. It was agreed that the best course of action would be to have MMA tested and I have managed to convince my doctor to do this, Levels were "normal" - 0.09 (range is 0 - 0.29). I also had homocysteine

Seeing endo on Monday – question about low TSH/hypothyroidism
Hi all, I’m still working to get an official diagnosis for the complicated mess of adrenal/thyroid/pituitary conditions I’ve been experiencing for the past few years and have a much-awaited appt with my endo on Monday. I get super nervous before any appts for fear of not communicating clearly enough

Zinc and Selenium
Got my blood test results for zinc and selenium today. Both are close to the lower end range, but still within normal. Shall I supplement or leave it there? I read contractionary studies. Any advice or even evidence?

I’m pretty new to this group but am very grateful to be part of this forum. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2017 and started sodium risedronate around 2018. I took it until about 4 months ago when my Endocrinologist took me off to put me on Prolia, which she assured me had no contraindications

Best blood values
Already learned a lot in this forum and from other sources about optimal blood values for Vit D and B12. Just wonder if similar recommendations exist for zinc, selenium, iodine, iron and omega 3 and 6? I’m on WFPBD, take some supplements and check my blood values every three months, some more expensive

Supplements and levothyroxine
Hi, After recent bloods my T4 was increased from 112.5mcg to 150mcg T4. I've not included results as I've done that before and it's not what I'd like help on. My next blood tests are on 25th July (8 weeks after increase). It has been recommended on this site that I also supplement Vit D3 as it was
