Is this thyroid or perimenopause or something else?
About 3 months ago I had a few weeks of feeling dizzy, faint, low resting heart rate and brain fog. All these coincided with me losing weight - this may or may not be relevant. My levothyroxine dose got changed from 75 daily to 4 days of 75 and 3 days of 100, I also started taking multivitamins and my

medication increase?
I have been feeling achy and my heart has been beating either too fast or missing a beat. I am also finding it hard to lose weight despite doing Weightwatchers. Is this a sign that I may need an increase in my levothyroxine? I am currently taking 75mcg daily.

Blood Test for vits (and thyroid)
Hello all. Following advice from SlowDragon, got GP to agree to Vit testing as T3 low and as SlowDragon though they would, they drew blood for Thyroid levels , too! Must say here, too, after GPS lowered my Levo, because I had too many hypo symptoms return, I upped the dose from 175 to 200 as on 200

Dexa scan and low vitamin D
A GP at the surgery is insisting on a dexa scan as my TSH has been suppressed since I trialled T3, and she’s adamant I’m to reduce my levo dose (see my last two posts if more information needed). My question is, I had dire vitamin D levels of 22 and deficiency for I suspect at least 7 years whilst carrying

Quick question about how to take T3
Hi everyone, What’s the protocol for taking T3? Is it the same as with levothyroxine, eg several hours after food, and leaving at least an hour before eating/drinking anything other than water? Thanks 🙏

Levothyroxine
Hi, I live abroad but before I left, my doc put me on 75 mg levo. I was on it for a couple years. But my pharmacy ran out of 75 so they gave me 100mg. Since I knew very little about hypothyroidism, I started taking the 100. After a few weeks I began pooping five times a day. Had mushy stools all

Self medicating
Hi all, I am going to retest my thyroid and vitamin levels in a couple of weeks after 6 weeks of a dose increase from 125 to 150 mcg of levo. I'm anticipating my t4 being high in range and my t3 levels being low as I still have many unresolved symptoms. My previous post a month ago showed that I'm

Hypothyroidism & Pre-operative blood test results Abnormal
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism around 2012 - 2013 and prescribed Levothyroxine by my GP. Prior to an operation in 2017 I had pre-operative bloods taken, which included TSH and FT4. My blood test results showed that my TSH levels were very low and outside reference ranges. TSH : * 0.09 mIU

Anybody else have a terrible memory on levothyroxine
I’m on 100mcg of Levo but my memory is probably the worst it’s ever been. Mainly names I just cannot remember names of people. We were doing a quiz in work on faces and I literally couldn’t name any. I’m 51 so I don’t know if this is normal for my age or whether I’m still hypo and need a bit more Levo

update on subacute thyroiditis
Just posting an update on my experience with subacute thyroiditis. Thanks for the support in this forum! Since mid August I was quite unwell with classic symptoms of thyroiditis (significant neck pain, high inflammatory markers) and became quite thyrotoxic. I was eventually given a course of steroids

is it worth trying t3?
Please see my last post for some context. I am just feeling so lost and wondering if t3 might be my answer? Levo only seems to calm some of my symptoms but also brings side effects I cannot tolerate. Levo just pushes my t4 over range and my t3 doesn’t budge and is actually lower on levo than it was

Have I understood correctly? (Polite) stand-off with ultrasound doctor.
Hello everyone I’m just back from an ultrasound on my thyroid where the dr conducting the procedure declared my thyroid “boringly normal “. She also added that my larynx was “beautiful “. She then stated that I “do not have a thyroid condition “. I respectfully disagreed but she persisted: “
