Hashimotos diagnosed
hello, I’m new here. I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease and am taking 75mg of Levothyroxine. My doctor recently messaged me at the start of December saying finally my levels are within a normal range, however I still feel really low. I’ve gained weight which I’m struggling to loose, I’m

Can anyone explain how TSH can go from undectable to 7.14 in two weeks?
I finally got an endocrinologist to see me, and she was adamant that I quit taking T3. The lab test at that visit had TSH <.02 (undetectable). I put my trust in her and stopped the T3 and continued 50 mcg levo/ day. After 2 weeks I went in for another test for TSH and T4. T4 was 0.4 and TSH was 7.14

DI02 Test advice please
Following a really useful twitter thread about the Deiodinase 2 gene and its effects on response to levothyroxine, I have ordered and received a saliva test for DIO2 but need to loop in a medical practitioner to receive the results. I have an appointment with my GP this week to discuss blood test results

New results - TSH up despite levo
Hi, I have been taking 25mcgs levothyroxine for 6 and a half weeks now and my previous results from 24th November 2023 were: TSH 4.18 (0.27-4.2) T4 12.7 (12-22) My latest results are TSH 4.36 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.1 (12-22) So my TSH has gone up - which seems strange. I did try taking 50mcgs for a few

Levothyroxine and B12 possible interactions
I have been taking Levothyroxine for many years and believe that the symptoms I experience for both too much or too little Levothyroxine are identical. When I experience an increased pulse rate that can be because of either too much of too little Levothyroxine but keeping my dose fixed this problem is

Private blood test
I've been on levo 75mg for about 5yrs. Dr wouldn't increase because TSH was low and diabetes endo wouldn't look at my thyroid issues. After a private blood test last year I mentioned t3 to him as mine is low. He said we don't trust private bloods. Can't give t3 but you can see a private endo who will

I posted before my trial off B12 and now I’m posting recent bloods and diary of symptoms. I hope that someone can look over them to help me. I fear that they aren’t going to reinstate my b12 injections. hope it all makes sense History Diverticulitis diagnosed 2018 Hashimoto’s diagnosed 2019

Recent blood tests
Hi, can anybody offer any guidance on my blood tests. I have paid to have them done by blue horizon. My blood was done at 8.45 before taking any medication. I take levo 175 one day followed by 150 the next. B12 supplement. I have been suffering from a feeling of being on a boat with weak legs. Bad brain

Update to last post.
hi everyone I thought I would give you a update on my last post. Thank you to all that posted it really helped. I have now had an ultrasound on my neck lumps. I was told I had a very small thyroid and this happens when you have been on Levo for so long (30 years) I’ve never heard of this, has anyone

Really struggling
I have not been able to take thyroxine when I was diagnosed in March 2021, ended up on low FODMAP and with a homeopath and naturopath but went from 9 st 5 to 7 stone 11 when doctors got concerned. Every time I tried to include a food back in diet I was worse. Started thyroxine liquid in September 2023

Results guidance please
Hello, Please could I ask for some advice on my recent blood test results? I’m on a journey to understanding the link between thyroid function and repeated miscarriages (I’ve put more details in my bio section). These were my results from December 2023 (from blue horizon). I spoke to a private endocrinologist
