Poor Conversion continued
Hi - see below for response from the local endo to my GP (after he asked for advice re trial of T3 as I have dud deiodinese enzymes which mean I'm a poor converter of T4 to T3) In brief I have Hashimoto's and many symptoms of hypothyroidism despite taking T4 and dose being increased to drag up levels

Concerns that testing in UK is getting worse
I'm hearing that there are moved circulated to move to just Tsh testing only . This will be completely useless. Private testing is not the answer for all as most people can't afford basics at the moment. So many are struggling. Without being political the NHS has been mismanaged and starved of recognition

Results of test with a history of ME/CFS
First of all I have a history of ME/CFS not hypothyroidism. I feel well and have either recovered from ME/CFS or it is in remission, and wanted to get tests while feeling well. My only symptom is tinnitus. I have no fatigue or neurological complaints otherwise at present although i have had lots of fatigue

High FT3
Hi all, hoping you might be able to help me interpret my most recent thyroid test results. Had the tests done due to recurrent early miscarriage (3 over the last 6 months, I’m 29 & everything else looks good). My results are: TSH : 1.03 mIU/L, range 0.27-4.2 FREE T3: 11.2 pmol/L, range 3.1-6.8 FREE

Interferon and Hypothyroidism
I have ET and have been taking HU 500mcg daily for nearly 4 years. My platelets reduced from about 1200 to hover around 700-800 at each blood test. My consultant now says they need to be under control and as I have declined increasing the HU has mentioned interferon. I have said I will think about it

Differing TSH results
Hello Firstly, thank you for all the useful information and advice. I started taking 50mcg of levothyroxine in June and had a follow up blood test at the end of August which showed my TSH was 2.54 (0.27 - 4.2). The GP did not increase my dosage of thyroxine and I did not have the energy to push for

New here, undiagnosed, Normal TSH Low T4
Hi Long story short - I have had many Hypothyroid symptoms for many years and after having had some private bloods done I finally managed to get my NHS GP to request a T4 test which she accepts is low and confusing for her as my TSH is normal. She has said she will ask an endocrinologist for advice

Feel worse on 100mcg Levothyroxine. I felt better on 75mcg. I’m not over medicated. Is this thyroid gland suppression?
I’ve been taking 100mcg now for around 5/6 weeks but i feel worse now than when I was on 75mcg. I’m due to retest in a few weeks. I’ve been trying to figure out why I feel worse. My lastTSH on 75mcg was 0.3 and my T3 was 52% through the range. So I know I’m not over-medicated and 100mcg has probably

Blood results
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2015. I was treated with 50 micrograms of levothyroxine daily until this March when my Tsh finally crept above the Normal range.(0.55- 4.78). My dose was raised to 75 micrograms. At my 6 month checkup my Tsh had dropped from 4.91 to 0.38. Thanks to the information

Satisfactory Serum free T4?
Hi everyone, First time posting anything but my latest results say satisfactory T4 result, as a comment from the health professional. The result is out of the range so I am wondering if I am being fobbed off. Results as follows: TSH - 1.64 mIU/L (0.38-5.33) Serum free T3 - 4.8 pmol/L (3.8-6.0) Serum

Minimum time on levothyroxine dose before testing levels
What is the minimum time someone should be on a dose of levothyroxine before checking thyroid levels? NHS GP suggests 8 weeks. I had a TSH of 48.2 and FT4 3.9 and started levothyroxine 50mcg daily. I saw a private Endo who said to titrate up to 75mcg for 1 week and then go to 100mcg. I had been on 100mcg

Results of TSH after 6 weeks

I am due to spk to the dr tomorrow but on my NHS record it says no further action. I just wanted to know what the ideal level should be? Do I suggest

Fasciculations in both legs
Hi, Have been on T3 mono 40mcg per day (45 in winter) split into 3 doses since 2011. Have had no problems only benefits. Started with muscle twitching, fasciculations in both legs around a month ago. GP carried out a multitude of blood tests. Of course my TSH is suppressed at 0.04, free T3 is 4.3 range
