Hi there nannynett

Welcome 🤗

There is a wealth of lived experience on this forum so you have come to the right place. I have been a recipient of advice and support from forum members and credit this forum for my being well today.

So where are you at in your journey? How are you feeling? I ask this because symptoms are important. It’s no good having ‘nice’ results on blood tests if you are feeling awful 😬

Have you any tests to share? We generally put the thing being tested, the result and numbers in brackets. Each lab is different and will use a different range when reporting results.

If you click on my face you will be taken to my profile and see my bio and past posts. You can do this for every single member. I’ve written my bio like a case study.

There are a lot of common problems that crop up on the forum. If you have a read you will see. In fact it’s the lived experience that got me started on learning about my condition. I would really encourage you to get familiar with hypothyroidism and problems that can pop up owing to still commonly held misconceptions in the medical fraternity.

Knowledge is power 😉👍
