Dissecated liver for iron
Hello, I’ve had issues with my ferritin being low, even though I’ve been supplementing with iron for a while. Has anyone tried dissecated liver to get their iron levels up? If so, do you have one that you would recommend?

More gaslighting with obtaining T3 🙄
As some will know my T3 was stopped on Nov 9th by my gp due to the fact I'm waiting for an urgent referral to endo.. , I urged my gp to just supply me with a month's cover of T3 to be sure I have enough to tide me over, she told me that wouldn't be necessary as my appointment would come before I run

Exhaustion may not be thyroid related!
Hi all, just wanted to share my recent experience which came as a complete shock/surprise. So, usual story, feeling exhausted, needing to nap all the time, barely able to function. This feeling has been even worse since new year, barely able to get out of bed. Now, I knew I was a poor converter and needed

7dp5dt (TW - PG test - sensitive)
I’ve just seen two lines (albeit faint) for the first time in my life on a pregnancy test. I say “A” pregnancy test but it’s actually been 3 pregnancy tests 😂 None are with first morning pee - basically my hubby is at the office today for the first time since the transfer & I lost my mind just after

Percent of range
Since your group likes to go by percent of range could you tell me an example of what makes a good balance on free t4, free t3 and tsh. Should they all fall around 50 percent of the range being used for your particular lab?

Anyone else been given Aristo Thyroxine
HI, My last lot of Thyroxine is the Brand Aristo. I have not taken it before, so I am giving it a try. I can't take Teva as it makes me very poorly. I had been feeling really good, I had a blood test and got my results the beginning of January and they were okay. I am also not due my next b12

High IgM and other markers
Hi, just had some more blood tests and my globulin and IgM levels are high. I understand they're linked with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Has anyone else experienced this after a recent PA diagnosis? Thanks.

Hashimotos or secondary hypothyroidism?
Hello, I recently had positive test results for thyroid antibodies, but my TSH and T4 remain in range, but low end. My doctor has suggested that I start treatment to prevent hypothyroidism developing. Actually I already have many key symptoms and I am struggling to cope. I also have a B12 deficiency

Levothyroxine and Propranolol
Hello, The other day, and purely out of interest, I used the NHS app to read up about Propranolol (P). I could not believe that I have been prescribed a drug that interferes with Thyroxine (T) uptake. P was prescribed by Consultant who was made aware of existing medications. GP has requested lowering

low levels of T4 & T3 on 3 grains of NDT
Dear all, Again I need some help with my blood tests interpretation and further steps. I’m currently on 3 grains of thyroid-s and my results are as shown on the table below. Both FT3 & FT4 levels are not satisfactory. Could this be because of the low levels of ferritin, D3 and B12? Or do I need to

going up the walls
guys I am seeking advice. after having my children in 2013 and 2015 I have never been the same person. I have suffered with every single symptom of hypothyroidism. in the end i actually went hyper for a few years which other than the hair loss and lack of sleep I thought I’d become well again. Well
