Test result help (please)
In May last year I came to the end of my tether and as I knew thyroid issues run in my family I did a private blood
test
via Medichecks. This came back with "normal"
T3
, "normal" TSH and low T4.

Uh Oh! Should I be worried?
So in August, my NHS endo wrote to my GP saying that my 18 month trial of T3 combo therapy has proved a success and T3 is a necessity and would they be happy to take over the prescription? Last week I received a text message saying my prescription was ready to pick up from the local pharmacy, when I

T4:T3 Ratio
Can anyone explain the above in plain English lol. I noticed it whilst looking back at my test results I have posted on the forum and I Google’d it but didn’t really understand what I was reading. And does anyone know if a ratio of 3.280 is good or bad? Thanks

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: “

Can a change in batch be the reason my thyroid hormones have dropped so low?
I was on 100mcg a day at the end of November and my results were TSH - 0.011 (0.27-4.2) Free T4 - 21.6 (12-22) (96%) Free T3 - 5.8 (3.1-6.8) ((73%) I thought the T4 was a bit high and I was having some mild palpitations so I reduced to 4 Days 75 mcg and 3 days 100mcg. After 7 weeks I retested

Symptoms fluctuating
I am positive for Trab, TPO and Tg antibodies. I had Graves, was treated with carbi (didn't need high doses), went into remission and stopped carbi as per endo advice about 7 months ago (after 14 months of treatment), was ok for a few months and now, instead of suffering a hyper relapse as I thought

T3 only and HRT
I would love to know if anyone is on T3 only plus HRT and feeling good. If so, what dose of T3? Thanks.

Advice please
Hello, hypothyroid here, currently taking 225mg levothyroxine daily. Visited the Dr (NHS) last week for a few ongoing issues, including a lump in my neck (just right of neck centre) and was seen primarily by a student Dr who’s findings were then discussed/assessed with GP. Very convinced it’s a goitre

My daughter has been suffering multiple symptoms, reoccurring urology issues, aches and pains, IBS to name but a few. Her GP’s have only ever tested for TSH which has always been in the middle of the range. As I have autoimmune hypothyroidism as well as an autoimmune blood disorder should they be

Changing to ERFA
Hi guys. I’ve been taking armour for a few years, but I find I’ve been getting chest pains, and struggling with various symptoms. Does anyone here take ERFA? That option is open to me, but I wanted to get some information first before making a switch. I’m even considering synthetic T3/T4 combo. Any

sudden drop in thyroid results!!
I recently had some health concerns which are still being investigated, in the meantime a new symptom of swollen face has occurred and I seem to of gained all the weight I just lost. I got some thyroid results today and was shocked to see how they have decreased when I usually have a steady result.

New blood results
Hello Would someone kindly have a look at these please. Have to say I’m impressed they took free T3 measurement. Last year B12 was 378, folate was 9.1, ferritin was 40 (same ranges). Will have to make new posts as I can’t work out how to post 3 screenshots (🤯) Thanks lovelies. ☺️
