Levothyroxine and Longer Menstrual Bleeds/Periods
So far as I have been increasing my dose (still optimising dose) my periods length have stayed the same around 5/6 ish days. The cycle itself has varied since starting levothyroxine by an about a few days (from a 26 day cycle prediagnosis and treatment to 26-31 days since diagnosis and treatment). However

Is it all because of thyroid or separate?
Hello everyone, I was dx with hypothyroidism 7 years ago. Around the same time I was dx with metabolic syndrome and have suffered so bad over the years with statins and recently my cholesterol levels and trigs results are through the roof. I've been on 150mcg levothyroxine for near on 3 yrs now.

Advice on maintaining weight or even increasing it!
I'd love advice from others who might've experienced more weight loss than they wanted whilst uploading levothyroxine. I was around 58kg when I started I December 2022. Being someone with AF and also highly responsive to pharmacological products I've had to proceed super slowly. Have now made it up

High cholesterol
I have recently signed up the Our Future Health programme. I was invited along for a blood test and a finger prick cholesterol test. The cholesterol result came back as 10.14 and I was told to go to my GP. I had a cholesterol blood test at my doctors surgery in July and it came back as 6.1. I thought

Test results help
In UK my TSH is 0.21 m/U/L. Doc says it's fine but I'm not sleeping & have excess hair loss again. I've seen optimal range for healthy adults at 0.5-1.0 but that in uIU/mL so I'm confused. Is my TSH reading then showing too low or high & do I need to lower my levo meds and or up them? Sorry my memory

My result was 3.66. was prescribed

Awful test results! What dosage increase should I make?
Hello everyone, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the minute and I don't really know what to do for the best. Hence, I am looking for some help and advice. Reason for my demise, amongst other things, is the following test results which was done via Medichecks. Levo dosage was 50mcg levo on

Avoid prescribing desiccated (natural) thyroid extract
The NHS England Specialist Pharmacy Service advice re desiccated thyroid has been updated. Doesn't make much difference! But in case you are interested or need to know, it is linked below. Note that it does NOT say desiccated thyroid
cannot
prescribed. It still contains this bizarre sentence
