Anyone take Co Q10 and are on T4/T3?
I’m seriously thinking of adding Co q10 to my daily routine. I get migraines, and having watched many chats on the World Migraine Summit recently, it stands out as something that might help. (I’m 58, so won’t be taking it for fertility reasons). I’m not on anything that might be contraindicated with

TSH and T4 readings
Hi All I’m new to the thyroid community on Health Unlocked and have a question. I was diagnosed with under active thyroid about two years ago and was put on 25 micrograms of Levothyroxine. My last test result was TSH 7.4 and T4 was 14. My gp won’t test T3 as he says it’s the T4 that’s important and

HRT related
Hello 🌷 Please may I ask how much HRT are ladies on? Last night I accidentally left my old Evorel patch on (1 put a new one on every 3.5 days instead of the 3 day /4 day combo) and put on the new one. I realised it this morning and took the old one off. I guess it was still giving me oestrogen because

High FT4 level
My recent blood test showed my TSH level to be 0.6 miu/l and FT4 was 17.3 pmol/l. My GP has advised me to lower my levothyroxine from 125micrograms to 100 micrograms daily. I have been hypothyroid for 14 years now but just recently have been feeling anxious,agitated and stressed for no apparent reason

Hi , I'm wondering what people's experience is on liquid levothyroxine and the difficulty in getting the doctors to prescribed it .I first started taking levothyroxine ( tablet form ) about 5/6 years ago after having some tests done and have never felt truly right or comfortable when on it and experience

just tiny increase but heart all over the place
My GP wants me to increase from 50 to 75 of levothyroxine. It’s taken me so long to get up to 50 mg because I’m so sensitive insofar my heart starts racing and missing beats . I first tried taking 25ng a day in 2020. In the end I had to take it once every three days because my heart would race and

Thyroid Hormones & OC
Hi everyone, has anyone been taking levothyroxine for hypothyroidism as an OC patient? Does supplemental thyroid hormone to address hypothyroidism have an effect on cancer? A doctor I asked said no, but I did some research and came up w this, which says it does, so now I’m wondering if it’s advisable

Advice on latest results please
I’ve had a bumpy ride over the past 4 years, some of it self-induced by being impatient. When I started testing my thyroid everything was low inc tsh and cortisol, in retrospect I suppose my body was just trying to survive on drippings. I was never sure I had a thyroid problem as my tsh was always

Real issues with brands
For many months now I have been having real issues trying to get my usual thyroid brands and along the way I have been given (and tried) other brands which caused a really severe reaction so I am very limited now on the brands I WILL try because I refuse to go through the hell I went through again.

Frustrating GP appointment
I've been struggling with a return of some hypo symptoms since my tsh-must-be-in-range focused GP reduced my Levothyroxine from 100mcg daily to alternating between 100mcg and 75mcg. Since then I've had problems going to the loo, I've put on that much weight I can no longer fit into my jeans, I'm constantly

Is this low B12 / folate?
Hi all! Curious if anyone can advise please- I am fatigued (really struggle at work), brain fog, aches and pains - have been taking HRT for few months but not cured it! Also stable levothyroxine for many years and have Psoriasis although mild. Wondering if I should ask GP for further investigation

Vitamins D and K7
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism nine months ago, and prescribed 50mcg levothyroxine per day. No mention was made of Vitamin D results or any related issues like ferritin,or B12. I take Vitamin D 2200iu throughout Winter, and, as of October 23, after some online research, added Vitamin K2, 100 ug.

Viatris 5mcg liothyronine feedback please from NHS
Hi. Has anyone taken Viatris 5mcg liothyronine T3. Or can you compare with other liothyronine 5mcg brands. My sister has just been prescribed T3 alongside her usual levothyroxine T4 medication privately as her latest T3 results was low (24%) But a huge surprise was that her NHS GP gave her a liothyronine

Subclinical hypothyroidism
I was always told I had secondary hypothyroidism and suddenly my clinic has me listed as subclinical or mild hypothyroidism. How can you be on levothyroxine 137 and be listed as mild? Is this a new label after twenty years?

NDT taken at same time as Trospium - issues
I hope this is OK to post here? Taking NDT at the same time of another medication may have implications. I’ve been on NDT for the past few months, replacing Levothyroxine. Having been taking Levo first thing in the morning, I continued with taking NDT at the same time. So, having taking Trospium

My sis newly diagnosed and prescribed 75 mcg Levo but GP refuses to test free T4 or antibodies.
Hi my sister has had TSH result of 5.3 (0.3-3) and has symptoms and been prescribed 75 mcg Levothyroxine. GP refuses to test for free T4 or antibodies. I don’t think she should take the tablets until she has a baseline free T4 tested and antibodies. What you think?
