newly diagnosed help with results
Hi, I was diagnosed hypothyroid a month ago and prescribed 25mcg Levo which I’ve been on since then. They wouldn’t prescribe anything higher as my tsh was suppressed < 0.001 I’ve just had my results back from my test this week and I’m not sure how to interpret and feel like they’re gonna try and take

What tests are needed?
Hi, My husband is on Lithium and his regular bloods from that clinic showed his thyroid results were off so he was sent to the GP for testing. The nurse said his results were fine. We haven’t been able to access the results and I imagine they only did TSH or basic tests. I want to get our own tests

Liver, hyperthyroidism, carbimazole
I have been on 15mg of carbimazole for a month to treat my Graves relapse. I started on 30mg and felt worse than being hyper so my endo said I could take half. It has taken me about a month to feel slightly better. I am improving although my insomnia is still challenging. I had a blood test this

Still on 50mcgs Levo and symptoms returning…
Morning everyone, It’s been a while since I last posted; And no surprises but I’m still on 50mcgs with symptoms I had before I was diagnosed returning. My GP refuses to increase because my last blood test done in January showed my FT4 at 19.4 and he said he doesn’t want it to get any higher than that

Hello I started experiencing fatigue about 5 months ago, followed by an increase in appetite. Then, about 3 weeks ago, I began experiencing palpitations, weight loss, shortness of breath, and itchy eyes. The doctor prescribed 40mg of Carbimazole, but I feel this may be too much. Can 15mg, along

phosphate
Good Evening, a little question. I was reading an article about white and whole grain bread. I believe with CKD it is advised to eat white bread due to lower phosphates. The article said that this is not always the case, as although whole grain has more phosphates we only absorb 20-50% of the phosphates

Looks Like My Cholesterol Is High, Yikes
I've spent the best part of the day at my local hospital today. I saw my GP as I'd been experiencing increasing shortness of breath over the last week or so and as I had pericarditis last summer I think they wanted to be sure it wasnt anything similar. So I got sent to the one stop shop aka SDEC, same

Still having symptoms of hypothyroidism despite medication - any advice?
I wondered if anyone could please share their thoughts on my situation. I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism around 8 years ago, but didn’t have any symptoms (apart from some fatigue). Then, after contracting COVID in 2020, I began to have symptoms like 30-35lb weight gain (unexplained),

Levo increase needed
How can doctors expect hypothyroid patients to feel good with a free t4 at only 50 percent? Doesn't even make sense.

What causes subclinical hypothyroidism?
My brief history: Diagnosed subclincal last year and have felt persistently awful on all doses of levo (25-75mcg) and 75 pushed my t4 slightly too high. The side effects of it have been debilitating and in many ways I feel worse taking it. 25mcg puts my t4 at around 18 which seemed high for a tiny dose
