T4 and T3 optimal 3 hours after thyroid meds, I feel great, but suppressed TSH is throwing a spanner in the works.
Hi, these are my recent results taken exactly 3 hours after I had taken my thyroid meds. (Normally, I wouldn't take my thyroid meds the morning of a thyroid function test, but my functional health doctor wanted to see whether I was overmedicating, worries about bone health....) I take 75mcg Levo and

Thyroxine 24h urine collection
Hi, I got some results back of a 24h urine collection done in October. Result of T3 is within range, but thyroxine is low in range. Any idea what it means? Should I increase levo? TSH is around 3 mU/L

Speechless by my GP’s response
I messaged my GP surgery and requested a full thyroid blood test (not just TSH which is all I’ve been able to get since COVID) as well as iron, vits B and D tests. I’ve been feeling really rotten, and want to look at every potential reason. Now, bear in mind I have been on HRT (prescribed by them) for

Doctor refusing to increase levo, says I should not have been put on it in the first place (it was "against his better judgement")
Argh, I've just had an incredibly frustrating and upsetting phone consultation after 8 weeks on 50mcg of levothyroxine. I was on a starter dose of 25mcg for the 8 weeks before that. Current/past levels TSH level (range 0.570-3.6) 3.169 mU/L 13 Nov 2023 1.841 mU/L 21 Sep 2023 3.730 mU/L

Hyperthyroid help
Hi Everyone, The last time I posted was sometime last year, when I had been taken off 5mg carbimazole and had been discharged from the hospital back to my GP. Fast forward a year. I had blood tests last week (14.11.23) only to discover that my T3 is 20.1 pmol/L, previously 4.6 pmol/L (Sept) and TSH

Low T3
Hi, I have been hypothyroid for many years now, but I am really struggling with brain fog and fatigue. I am currently taking 75mcg of Levothyroxine daily, but my doctor says I am overmedicated and wants to drop the dose to 50mcg . I have resisted this so far. She refuses to test T3 as she says if

stopping T4 query
Had a call from my endocrinologist today told me to stop taking levo and to take only t3 twice per day 10/10. I was taking 75mg of levo and 5/10 T3. So no reduction of levo bit by bit is what I would have thought. My Tsh is suppressed at 0.03. Has anyone been told just to stop levothyroxine and take

thyroid antibody test
hello, I have been feeling pretty unwell with a variety of symptoms for about a year. I’ve had a few different tests and procedures and nothing that really explains any of my symptoms has been found. When googling a lot of my symptoms sounded similar to what I read to hypothyroidism so I paid privately

Hi I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism almost 5 years ago now despite me not having any symptoms. I'd had a blood test because of illness in my family and I was very surprised to find out that my T4 levels were around 8.5 and my TSH was 10.3. My antibodies were out of range and my iron levels were borderline

Reliable Genuine Source T3 Please

Can change in my levothyroxin tablet product or dose cause me dizziness,internal heat, feeling sick and missing my steps on the stairs.
I had my total thyroidectomy done and was fine on 100mcg of levothyroxin for 4 years. Later, I have to change my levothyroxin product because it was unavailable in the area I moved to in the UK. I immediately started having motion sickness in the car with the new product. Later, each time I wake up in

I can't get my thyroxine dose right, can anyone give me advice?
I've had an under active thyroid (hashimotos) for 13 years and I was taking 100mcg of levothyroxine for all of that time until recently when my TSH went up, these were the results: TSH: 7 (0.27- 4.2) T4: 16 (12-22) My GP asked me to increase to 125mcg which I did and then we re-tested 6 weeks later and

my results, please help as I’m struggling.
So I posted not that long ago but didn’t get much help. I did have my other vitamin results in this post. currently all my Levo dosage is the same 200mcg and alternating with 212mcg the next day. I’m getting a lot of heart palps and keep going dizzy. I thought it was low iron, but my levels seem

A friend
last Saturday night we went for a lovely Thai meal with a couple who we hadn’t seen for a while. (Since I began my own thyroid nightmare). The lady has had a lifelong battle with obesity, has had a gastric reduction, eats very little and is still, sadly very obese. I can empathise with this but was

for the collective wisdom please: Radio iodine ablation 13/12/19 21/11/23 Mono treatment T4 @ 175mcg TSH below range FT3 5.23 (3.5-6.8) FT4 16.8 (7.8-18) Doctor reduced dose to 150! Without consultation My 2 cents: TSH not relevant still only mid range FT3. So need combined T3/T4 treatment.

We'd be really grateful for any feedback on my husband's thyroid test results taken at 8.45am before breakfast. (Blue Horizon Gold). He has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome for 10 plus years and there is a history in his family of thyroid problems. We are trying to get a clearer picture
