My Dr checked my thyroid levels with some other blood tests without me knowing, so I had taken my T4 (50mcg) about an hour before! Based on the results, she said I was now fine and took me off the medication. I tried to argue saying it needed to be before my meds and she said that was wrong. I had always

IBS disproved
GP kept saying I had IBS and I kept disagreeing. A thyroid test came back borderline for low thyroid and one GP said we can try you on thyroxine and see if that works. Started on lowest dose and increased to next level. Toilet habits became normal and I have had no more bloating. I have no more symptoms

Blood Test Advice
I have a blood test booked for 8.40 next Monday. The form says: FBC, Ferritin, Liver function, Thyroid function, Vitamin D. At the moment I supplement with Vitamins B12, B complex, C, D, K2 and Turmeric, Selenium and Magnesium. I have stopped B complex but is there anything else I should stop before

Hyperthyroid symptoms and dosage?
I was diagnosed with borderline hyperthyroidism in 2020 due to a toxic multinodular goitre and started on 5mg Carbimazole which I’ve taken since that time. I’ve never felt that the medication has completely controlled my hyper symptoms and still have bouts of sleeplessness and racing heart. My endocrinologist

Swallowing issue
It's not a huge deal, but I seem to have some trouble swallowing lately (last month or so). Could that be related to my thyroid meds adjustment? I added T3 (15mcg) to my 75mcg Levo about 7 weeks ago. Or IS IT POSSIBLE to have a goitre inside the throat area that doesn't show on the neck? I do have Hashimotos

COMBINATION THERAPY IS NOW UNDER REVIEW
This review indicates how and why combination therapy may be used in treatment. Interesting in itself, but another example of cherry-picking evidence ( we aren't mentioned in spite of starting this concept in 2012. Good cliquish admission where the "nonprofessionals"are best kept well out of the limelight
