Haven't had any bloods done for while now - due to get them done later this month (T3/T4/TSH) also this time getting

Hi These are my latest blood results and am thinking I need to decrease my Levo dose. I am taking 125/100 alternate days, My last blood results indicated that I needed to decrease my T3, from 15 to 10 which I have done, but now my T4 has gone up. Could anyone advise what my next step is. I’m not

Things just keep going from bad to worse with me. So sorry for the long post but I really need some help because I don't know what's going on I really don't and I don't know how to try and balance things anymore, it's all beyond me now. Near end April this year I did a full panel, rather than link

Hi I am 8mths post operation, chemo. In August I started to get discomfort occasionally when eating, then acid reflux and regurgitation. I was referred for an endoscopy and possible dilation. 4 weeks ago endoscopy preformed, not able to have dilation as to much food present from 24hrs before. Another

Hey everyone I am a 42 year old male in NYC with no history of strokes, Lupus or any autoimmune issue. No weird symptoms. A couple of weeks ago I did an extensive series of exams because I have slight malar edema (also known as festoons). I have had the edema for a few years and it was bothering me

Hi I've had high Platelets for years about 20 at least on every blood test. GP always just said your Platelets are high but we know that! rheumy often mentioned it too. Recently I have been seen in Endocrinology (in a different hospital to my rheumatology team) & been having regular blood tests since

I have been taking T3 only for a handful of years now and for a couple of them on a LCHF diet I was happy enough. I lost weight, and felt good. In October 2020 I restarted HRT (I still had/have) hot flushes, but within 2 months I had started to gain weight and on balance I thought that I would rather

Hi everyone ❤️ A gp as just rang asking me to see her today at 4.45, I have no doubt this is in relation to the letter I wrote to the practice manager in the awful treatment I have received by the surgery concerning synthetic thyroid medication they have been pushing on me the last 5 years. I think

I'm fairly new to this. I got a Hashimoto's diagnosis at the beginning of the year and started on Levo in January. My TSH wasn't massively high (6.3) but I have symptoms so they agreed but started me on a really low dose of 25mcg. I recently increased to 50mcg and have just had my bloods to review

Hi All - I've been following advice on supplements and timing of tests but NHS has problems with results and need advice as what to do - I take Armour NDT with Levo. Haven't had a conversation with them about it, changing practices and moving back to the states for a period of time but will be back

Hi folks. New here. I realise that nobody can post links etc but I'm hoping someone out there can message me some info. I'm post menopausal and blood tests show I have hypothyroidism (tsh 9.8). For the past almost 10 years I've been so tired, hair falling out, gaining weight etc. I've been unable

I have to confess to being a bit of a nerd. I was kept twice daily records of my peak flow religiously for a couple of years. I would recommend this, even for non nerds. But I recently had to get a new meter. The previous one was stuck full of unwanted gunk. Lo and behold my peak flow jumped by two

I've been on combination Levo and Armour for 20 years or so and well since 2016 when and NHS endo sorted out the levels and backed NHS prescribing Armour. On Monday the Armour was removed from my repeat script. I moved 2 years ago and the new GP's have written the script because I have the backing

Below are my results from last week on 2 grains of armour for about 3 weeks, reduced to 1 for about 2 weeks then half for another 2. I reduced because I felt really unwell. I stopped entirely for 4 days and yesterday I took 50mcg of Levo. I feel like I’m on a stimulant. I’m not complaining as up until

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice about my blood test results and whether thyroid issues could be the cause of my symptoms. Also if anyone can recommend a doctor in Cardiff / South Wales I’d really appreciate it. I’ve spent years trying to manage and believing (being told) my symptoms are due to anxiety

It usually takes about 20 minutes to tidy up and I now start to feel tired so I sometimes have a half an hour rest on the bed when I go back upstairs for my shower. My legs now start to feel really stiff and achey.

Ok, so my table needed to first :-) not sure how to move it down, but please read below... First, thanks for this great community. I have benefited from lots of wisdom and experience over the past three years. Last year my endo freaked when my TSH was low. I attempted to stand up for myself, but
