High Folate with PA terrible GP
Hello everyone, Im afraid this might be a little long, but i hope someone can help me. It has been a long and upsetting morning. It started with a 630am ER visit for excruciating groin/hip pain for past 6 days and very hard to walk. Anyway, I'm confused. Some of my tests came back surprising. I

Do you think I need an increase in my T4 dose???
Hi all, I have hashimoto and hypo since many years. I take T4 medication ( 100 mg) every morning. The brand name is Euthyrox ( the version which has mannitol and citric acid instead of lactose). This is my thyroid test results after 14 months of no tests at all due to lack of medical insurance. I was

in hospital, advice please
I am posting for my wife who is in hospital. She takes T3 (liothyrinine) as she is unable to convert T4. She normally has 200mcg per day but on medical advice due to heart problems she has had none for 4 days. She is now becoming vague and finding it difficult to clearly communicate. She could self medicate

Oh well!
Today I had a hand addressed envelope in the post. It contained a bag for the blood test and apparently in small print at the top of the bag, it is from my Endo. I am guessing this is the form I needed for the blood test I had in November, There was nothing else in the envelope. So next time I

Suppression of TSH but low T4/T3 levels whilst taking Levo/Lio Combo
A few years ago, my thyroid results were looking a lot better but NHS GP over the last 2 years has told me to reduce my dosage twice (because of the 'risks' of overtreatment). I'm now on 100mcg levothyroxine (75mcg supplied by GP and topped up by myself) and 25mcg liothyronine (self-sourced). I now don't

7dp5dt Hcg 74 (IU/l)
So, after 4 failed IVF rounds behind us, I wanted to find out if our 5th round embryos have stared to implant at all. All I ever had previously were stark white BFNs.

The TSH and diogenes
I just found this, written by diogenes some time ago, that I saved:
The following papers from the Japanese shows that, in people with no working thyroid, "normal" healthy-type conditions on T4 therapy only occur if TSH is between 0.03-0.5.
Above this, hypo symptoms are still present. You

Thinking of Stopping Treatment Due to Continued Weight Gain
Over the last 2+ years Ive gained 50 pounds due to premature Ovarian Failure and Hypothyroidism. I was originally diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2014.

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
