Up and down today
Here are how things with me have been so far (an even longer story!): January 2013 - I'm told by my GP I have elevated Anti-TPO antibodies at 84,000 (<34). TSH is at 0.69 (0.27-4.2) May 2013 - My TSH has rocketed up to 22 (0.27-4.2) and my FT4 was low at 10.9 (12-22). I'm then put on 25mcg Levothyroxine

Am I optimising Levothyroxine by it taking at the right time?
I don't eat for at least 30 minutes, usually an hour after or more, but I am on Hydroxichloraquine which has to be taken twice a day with food and I take my
AdCal
D3
and Amitriptyline at night along with an antihistamine and any pain meds I'm needing - so it's a bit of a juggling act.

GP appointment today - this is what's come out of it...
Well, this is what has come out of my GP appointment, most of which I already knew. TSH has gone up and down like a yo-yo over the past 7 months. First it was 22 in May, 4 in August after starting the Levo, 4.3 in November and 4.6 in December. (Normal range 0.27-4.2) FT4 is back within range from being

Itching, especially lower legs
Then I thought it might be
Adcal
+
D3
as I'd only been taking that for a few weeks, so I stopped that too. I usually take 1 anti histamine a day, but as that didn't solve it either, I increased it to 2 a day.

Low Levels of Serum Vitamin D3 are Associated with Autoimmune Thyroid Disease in Pre-Menopausal Women
No idea what to make of this - except to say, vitamin D does seem to be linked to thyroid issues in complicated ways! [i]Thyroid. 2013 Dec 10. [Epub ahead of print]

Advice please (for a newbie!)
Hi all, having been diagnosed by GP last month (apparently after her colleague missed hypo result back in 2005!) I've appreciated reading advice here from more seasoned colleagues. Really helpful guidance, am subsequently taking Levo last thing at night & Adcal (being post early menopause!) as far away

Shedding light on the sunshine vitamin - why is vitamin D linked to so many health issues and how much of it do we actually need?
Sadly the article doesn't say how much Vitamin D we need, but given many of us report improvements in our well being after finding we need Vitamin D3 supplements to boost our Vitamin D into the normal range, I though this article would be of interest. There is obviously a great deal more we need to

Drug Side Effects - Advice needed please - Adcal/Omeprazole
Read an article stating that some oral bisphosphonates (alandronic acid) prescribed for osteoporosis have been linked with bone loss and to ask your doctor to be changed to another treatment if you are noticing symptoms such as heartburn, or acid reflux and to be sure to have regular dental check-ups

Vitamin D or is it Vitamin D3, or are they both the same please ?
Months ago, after being newly diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and prescribed Levothyroxine, I'd been reading up on Stop The Thyroid Madness website that Vitamin D3 might help my (what I thought might be,) Fibromyalgia type pains. (I hadn't heard of Thyroid UK back then.) At my next Doctor's appointment

Making headway...vitamin B12
I managed to speak with my GP last week regarding my low level of vitamin B12 in the light of all my auto immune problems but in particular my under-active thyroid. My level was about 280 and the lab range was 225-1100 or there about. My GP began by flatly saying my levels were 'within normal range

Is Calceos (calcium and Vit D3) supplement the right one for thyroid problems?
I have half an underactive thyroid following removal of the right side for cancer treatment. They also removed a parathyroid gland that was imbedded in the isthmus tissue during and blood tests done in July (5 months post op) have found that I'm Vit D3 deficient and need calcium too. I've finally been

Vitamin b12 deficiency or pernicious anaemia? How to know the difference?

Hi Peeps, I was finally diagnosed Hypothyroid last January. I had been arguing that I had all the symptoms for a good few years!
Adcal
D3
for my Vitamin D deficiency, Levo, Aspirin, Multi Vitamins, and painkillers for my joint pain which I now also believe to be due to my thyroid or a side effect from the Adcal?? I don't know for sure what to blame my depression on?

Vitamin D and Green Tea
Hi all - first post from me. My husband has CLL and I have read lots about the benefits of taking Vitamin D3. I want to get him on this. Any advice as to what strength? Have found a good make by Healthy Origins which is 10,000 IU. Also, any recommendations for green tea supplements?

'It's not lupus' (couldn't resist!), now ?CTD. How do I tell my employers who have bent over backwards for my lupus problems?!
I was given a diagnosis of lupus approx 2 years ago. Initially I was under the care of an immunologist, then as things progressed I was referred to rheumatology. I had my 2nd appt at rheumatology a few days ago. I was told my positive blood tests are now negative and my DNA shows I do not have lupus.
