New here and desperately need help with thyroid issues.
This is my first post here and I feel so very unwell and extremely low. I'm hoping that those that have been through this can help please. I have had a thyroid problem for 27years and have been on T4 all that time and have never really felt well, feeling very low a lot of the time (a period on SSRI's

Would appreciate some input on newest labs!
I went to the lab two weeks ago and got my results today (seeing hormone doctor later this week). I feel quite confused and I'd really appreciate some feedback on them (long post!) I have been on 5 grains of Thyroid-S for the past two years. Last year, I even tried raising it after labs came back: TSH

How many of you had the Epstein-Barr Virus (aka Glandular Fever) or a viral episode before diagnosis. Check out this interesting article!
Hi guys Well ! I know I certainly did as they did a blood test and found high level Mononucleosis - which sometimes does not show up in all cases. The article I'd like to share with you (and no promotion of the book written by this healthcare professional) is the following, please Google

Mouth Ulcers
I've had ET for a couple of years, take 1gm Hydrea daily. I am getting horrendous mouth ulcers, often 3 or 4 at a time. The Haematologist has tried lowering my dosage, but my blood count goes up, so that's not an option. My zinc and B vitamin levels are normal. I have every medication on Boots' shelves

Should I see my gp or an endo or who?
Hi, I've been reading a little while and am dead impressed with the knowledge here. I'm not really sure of my next steps and I was wondering what you all recommended. I've been working with a nutritionist to try and lose weight /have more energy and after getting nowhere with dieting, she sent me for

Hypothyroid is much more complicated than I thought!
I was diagnosed with Grave's disease (Hyperthyroid) 5 years ago and had RAI 3 years ago which made me hypothyroid. I cutrently take 75mcg and 100mcg on alternate days based on my T4 and TSH results only! I trusted my doctors were treating me correctly but my legs and arms ache every day and the pain

Any thoughts/advice on my results?
Main symptoms are Fatigue, weight gain, lack of concentration & drive. Nearly all bloods are “in range” so for docs nothing wrong with me, so went back for more detailed bloods to research myself and ask for help and advice from others who have more of a clue! Not on any thyroid meds as doctors all

Reasons Of Rise In Thyroid Problem
We don't ponder the thyroid… and we should. Particularly considering that this non-descript little organ situated in your neck produces hormones that direct vitality digestion, control protein combination and alter your body's affectability to different hormones. As indicated by the American Thyroid

Test selenium, zinc and magnesium?
Is it advisable to try to get doctor to test these before start supplementing? Or is it ok to just start these without knowing your levels?

Help with test results
I have most my blood results back and nearly everything is within range! A few things to note: the B12 I have been on a course of it since April to improve it, it was at 255 so has risen to 313 now. On the Anti-TG there is a note to say the sample was Hemolyzed so needed to be redone. Cortisol is high

Looking for help and guidance on starting T3 only
Hi, I am looking for some help and guidance from you lovely people, having now run out of enough money to be able to buy meds/supps AND consult my private doctor (PD). You have been so helpful in the past :-) In March I saw a PD, he ran tests and diagnosed hypothyroidism (due to converting T4 to T3)
