The results are below and I would really appreciate any support. I have booked an appointment with one

Sertraline and contraindication
Background - I was recently started on levothyroxine after many years of not feeling well after having a private health screening through work which flagged up a higher than normal tsh and a low t4 reading. It seems that my tsh had been going up for a long time but was never flagged as it was deemed

Hello, started on Levothyroxine late last year after being diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's). After a bit of tweaking with dosage from GP they feel I am now on correct dose (alternate 75/50mg daily; I weigh 56kg). I definitely feel better than I did but still have lots of fatigue

New Hospital appointment on Wednesday.
Hi I have posted on here several times in the past year & have had marvellous help & information from you all. I cant remember when I last posted & still having problems finding my previous posts so apologise if I'm repeating myself. I was discharged from Endocrinology a year ago after 2 increases

DBS update
So gang. 3 months following DBS. I had it done because my dystonia was getting so bad and the reliability of the meds was open to question. I might thrive on a particular dose of Madopar and then the next day would be stuck whilst on a walk after having taken the same. It was very hard to plan anything

WHERE TO FROM HERE
Hi. I am 10 months post thyroidectomy. I am well and am on 180ndt a day as a single dose. My GP is telling me he is concerned about such a high dose and feels I am using the NDT as a stimulant to live my active lifestyle. My GP has told me he is worried about me and the 180ndt is as addictive as nicotine

Alternating dose
I achieved an NHS test Serum. TSH 4.36 range 0.30 to 4.20 mU/L Serum freeT4. 15.6 range 9.0 to 19.0 pmol/L The pharmacist phoned and asked if I was doing something different with my dose. After my GP’s attitude previously and difficulty in getting the NHS test I was a bit put out. However

Fluid in fallopian tube
Hi everyone, I’m about to start my 5th and final round of IVF following 4 months of Prostap. I had a saline scan with my fertility clinic in December and they said there is possibly fluid in my 1 fallopian tube. I had a laparoscopic myomectomy in August to remove endometriosis and fibroids. My gynae

Endo is recommending radioactive iodine
At my last endocrinology appointment, it was strongly suggested I have radioactive iodine therapy. I'm not terribly keen, for reasons that many of you here have pointed out. I still don't know for sure that I have Graves'. The endo didn't think it mattered if it was Graves' or not, she would still recommend

Advice on maintaining weight or even increasing it!
I'd love advice from others who might've experienced more weight loss than they wanted whilst uploading levothyroxine. I was around 58kg when I started I December 2022. Being someone with AF and also highly responsive to pharmacological products I've had to proceed super slowly. Have now made it up

Test results help
In UK my TSH is 0.21 m/U/L. Doc says it's fine but I'm not sleeping & have excess hair loss again. I've seen optimal range for healthy adults at 0.5-1.0 but that in uIU/mL so I'm confused. Is my TSH reading then showing too low or high & do I need to lower my levo meds and or up them? Sorry my memory

Should my Thyroxine be put down?
Hello all, I've just had my latest results and my doctor has lowered my Thyroxine from 100mg to 75mg. Does that seem right? I feel very unwell and I'm putting on weight despite suffering from severe nausea, so I am definitely not over-eating. I'm 49-year-old woman who was diagnosed with an underachieve
