Further advice on solving the burning in my feet please.
Thank you to everyone who has previously offered advice on this website, I’m writing again in need of a little bit more advice. I followed your suggestion, spoke to my consultant, and suggested that initially raising my T4 might help. He sent a second email to my GP and on the 4th April 2024, I began

High Cholesterol
Any advice please on my lipid results taken from a finger prick sample when attending an appointment at Our Future Health research programme. They were elevated . Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record LDL unfortunately. It was non-fasting.

I’m freaking out
I’m freaking out because I just had a baby 3 months ago and I’m late 5 days on my monthly. I’ve taken 3 urine tests and they’re all negative. I cannot have another baby especially with my financials. I have 3 kids as it is and I’m 23. Yes I know what causes babies and I don’t need that lecture. My anxiety

Ndt and iodine supplement?
Hello everyone! I started treatment with NDT in t4 6 micrograms and t3 1.4 in December 2023. I tolerate it well and I'm happy about it!

Blood results within range. Is this a problem?
Hi all,
I posted this query a few days ago and it was kindly analysed for me by greygoose (comments further down). However, I didn't understand what he/she was telling me - so I wonder if anyone could explain for me? Do the results indicate hypothyroidism? Do I need meds or can I tweak via

Finally! My Thyroid Disease is Treated Optimally! :)
I just thought I would post my experience, prompted by my reply to a previous poster, who asked what they could realistically expect from optimal treatment. I think its helpful to see those that are happy on medication and their journey. I have been taking 75mcg of levo and 20mcg of lio daily for about

Inflammatory Arthritis with Levothyroxine
Has anyone else had severe pains in their tendons and muscles due to Levothyroxine? 18 years ago I had an ESR blood test at my G.P.'s surgery as I had severe pains on Levothyroxine, this proved I had Inflammatory Arthritis, so I bought Armour Thyroid from the US as the only alternative at that time.

T3 and T4 remained fairly constant (see attached) For the first time I also got TGA tested and they are high, my TPO antibodies have always been negative. So at least

An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what
