Need some knowledge of kidney issues....
I'm getting a bit concerned that for whatever reason my kidneys are complaining. I have high levels of T4 - latest was 22.73 (12 a 22) and slowly rising levels of T3 4.98 (3.1 a 6.8). I was going to maintain a dose of 150 / 125 mg levo (alternate nights) with 12.5 mg cynomel every night for a bit longer

1 Big Fat Circle around the NHS - advice please on my new non-NHS plan and blood results :)
This is my first (sorry rather long!) post. I was first diagnosed hypothyroidism 9 years ago (2008), after the birth of my first child. (No ranges given but TSH was 76, FT4 = 3.4, Anti TPO IgG Anti body = positive = 822iu/ml (normal = 1-50 iu/ml)) 150mcg Levothyroxine commenced. 5 months later levels

Giving in...reluctantly!
Not as dramatic as it sounds but thought I'd update you on my interesting few days...as some of you know I have had a few stressy episodes lately which I believe has contributed to a flare and am currently on 60mg Pred and excitedly waiting to see Dr Hughes at Chertsey on 15th May.... So last time I

I’m new here - taking Thyroid Support Supplement istead of NDT
I am a 52 year old male who has been Type 1 Diabetic for 27 years. After several months of visiting different Endocrinologists I finally found an Endocrinologist who ordered a more complete set of thyroid tests for me. The results from the tests done on 20 April 2017 were as follows: TSH

Treating low ferritin
Does anyone know of a more effective way to treat low ferritin than with ferrous sulphate please? Mines sitting at 16 (15-300) and I think it's causing some symptoms, but when I've tried in the past the ferrous sulphate gives me diarrhoea and also doesn't really get my number up very high (30 at most

Low levels but still in range.
Having recently been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, people on the thyroid board suggested I post on here for advice as my B12 and folate levels are in range but only just. I've been on a 25mcg of levothyroxine for 3 weeks and can't feel any difference yet. I'm also taking 10,000 iu of D3 with

Why has Levo stopped working?
This is my first post. I am 59. After many years of undiagnosed Thyroid related illness, I was finally diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2015. My father had the same late diagnosis. He died just five years older than I am now, aged 64 of a massive Stroke. At the end he was morbidly obese, with very high

Recent neck pain with a rather... personal cause.
As any young man does I masturbate every now and then, lately though it has started to cause sharp, and sometimes intense pain, over the past few days, as always looking around on the internet brings nothing but doom saying such as clots and cancer. The thing that makes me doubt that is the specific

RA first focused blood tests
Hi all, I have just posted an intro as I'm concerned I have RA. I have some blood tests booked on Wednesday this week to see if they show RA specifically. I don't know if they're just a general blood panel or if they include antibodies testing. I didn't get chance to talk this through as I was already
