Cannot get my TSH in range - help needed please, should I switch to levo?
Hello, I’ve been taking Thyroid-S NDT for 6+years and I’ve been trying to get my TSH to be close to range but cannot seem to get anywhere. I’ve tracked my ranges from 2022 and I’m still no closer. I’m nervous as when medichecks send my results they always say there’s higher risk of heart issues and osteoporosis

Test results.. Confused..
Hi. Peeps... Confused about recent blood tests.... My last thyroid test approx 5 months ago i forgot to take my t3 within 12 hrs of test, ( last dose was 4 pm day before am test) so theoretical it may have been lower than it should have been.. Since then i increased my T 3 slightly from 17.5 mcg

Advise on taking Levo before bed
hello all, some advise on the above subject would be much appreciated. I usually take my Levo during the night when I wake up to go to the loo, but I think at times it’s disrupting my sleep as I seem to wake up just to take the meds rather then anything else. I wanted to try and start taking it before

TSH and T4 range calculator thingy
Hi Last year I got lots of helpful advice on here. I'm feeling poorly again now and am trying to show my GP that I need more levo. There used to be a formula or calculator on here that would tell you where your result was within the range. Does anyone recognise what I am thinking of please, and

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

Help with dosing ov Armour thyroid
Hello everyone, Currently on 112.5 mcg of Levo , split into two doses , and no thyroid, I am switching to Armour thyroid . I am apprehensive about dosages to start with, as I react very strongly to drugs. For example, taking Levo in one dose instead two, gives me headaches and migraine-like visual

Here are my blood test results as promised…..
I’d be really grateful if you could take a look at my test results below and let me know what you think please. Since having the left side of my thyroid removed in February 23 because of a suspiciously large nodule, my blood tests had showed lower than optimum levels and so I was started on Levothyroxine
