Hello, I’m still new to this forum and finding my way around. I posted earlier this week for the first time about my story and received lots and lots of helpful information, more information than I’ve ever received from my GP since my diagnosis so thank you everyone!

Graves, low TSH low hormones
Hi all, I was hyperthyroid in 2003 treated with thiamazole, Hashimoto's hypothyroid in 2015, in 2018 TSI antibodies went up again, but I was left untreated for neither one thing nor the other. Then I started having these horrible awakenings (adrenaline surges), fatigue, tachycardya… it got better with

Do you think I need an increase in my T4 dose???
Hi all, I have hashimoto and hypo since many years. I take T4 medication ( 100 mg) every morning. The brand name is Euthyrox ( the version which has mannitol and citric acid instead of lactose). This is my thyroid test results after 14 months of no tests at all due to lack of medical insurance. I was

Symptomatic but within range
Hoping someone more experienced can help advise on next steps... I've been feeling very tired since Nov/Dec, with brain fog, dizziness and palpitations for the last month. All the older members of my family are diagnosed hypothyroid. I had a basic blood test (annoyingly I didn't realise the guidance

Hypothyroidism and levothyroxine treatment only inadequate?
I had a bad experience on levothyroxine only. I am now on T3 but not optimal yet although much better than I was on the levo.I had to go to hospital appointment regarding my dupuytrens contracture, and the doctor, who was going through my medications list, asked why I wasn't on levothyroxine. I told

T4 and T3 optimal 3 hours after thyroid meds, I feel great, but suppressed TSH is throwing a spanner in the works.
Hi, these are my recent results taken exactly 3 hours after I had taken my thyroid meds. (Normally, I wouldn't take my thyroid meds the morning of a thyroid function test, but my functional health doctor wanted to see whether I was overmedicating, worries about bone health....) I take 75mcg Levo and

Low 9am cortisol?
Hi all I wondered if anyone may have some advice regarding 9am cortisol please. My 9am blood cortisol has been tested a few times now and the last three tests have been 142nmol/L | 172nmol/L | 192nmol/L (I suspect the most recent one is higher due to having an extremely stressful time before it)

Hi. I am posting on behalf of a friend who does not use the internet at all. She is almost out of one of her thyroid medications & has lost the packet of the other one, so needs a repeat prescription. But the doctor who usually prescribes for her is not in the UK all the time, her email address that

The TSH and diogenes
I just found this, written by diogenes some time ago, that I saved:
The following papers from the Japanese shows that, in people with no working thyroid, "normal" healthy-type conditions on T4 therapy only occur if TSH is between 0.03-0.5.
Above this, hypo symptoms are still present. You

Frequency of testing
Hello all,I'm sure this has been answered 100 times, but I'm having difficulty finding the information. My question is how quickly do TSH, T3, and T4 numbers react to a change of medication dose. 8 weeks? 12 weeks? Does TSH react more quickly than T3 and T4? I ask specifically because 6 weeks ago

Hypothy in Canada, looking for any advice
So I live in Alberta Canada, when I lived in British Columbia and did blood test they gave the real number results of the TSH. Here in Alberta they apparently don't know how to get that. I was told my number is above the "normal " range. But they cannot or will not use the exact numbers, so the Dr's
