Thyroid test for children?
Hi there, I would like to get my 13 year old daughter tested for any thyroid problems as a precaution starting with a basic
T4
& T3
test
as she is finding it difficult to concentrate in class and seems more lethargic. I think Medichecks will only accept samples for patients 18 or over…?

Wait time for food and drink after thyroxine
hi I have just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and will start taking thyroxine tomorrow morning. I usually wake at 6.30 and will take then. NHS and endocrinology guidance says wait half an hour before having any food and drink, but I notice this forum advises an hour. I’m not worried about eating

Carbimazole dose
Hi all, Back again! As always, grateful for thoughts. I've been on Carbimazole 10mg BD and Propanalol 40mg TDS for about 10 days now. My heart rate before treatment was sitting around 130/140 with a peak of 167. Has been sitting 55-75 since starting Propanalol. Bloods before treatment for free T4

Grandad is 87, diagnosed with colon cancer at the beginning of the year. Only symptom was rapidly decreasing iron in blood.They said he had stage T4 and that they were going to do an operation to remove the cancer. They did just that last week. Doctors said they had removed the cancer and he was released

Dose adjustment how long
Hi everyone, I’m adjusting my thyroxine dose so how long does it take to feel the benefit of a change? Or how long do I wait before adjusting dose again if needed? Thanks

Best Private Endo and/or Private Thyroid Practitioner
I've been having T4 treatment for Hypothyroidism on NHS for a while, and I'm still feeling terrible. I have private health insurance coverage though, and I haven't used it. Also have low testosterone which I've been successfully treated for. Could someone PM me the best Endo on the private list?

T4 not being increased by GP
Hi everyone hope you are all doing g good and still fighting for your health! Following on from my previous post. A new GP in my practise wouldn’t increase my levo to 100mcg until she had the go ahead from endocrinology. They have decided that I am adequately medicated and won’t increase due to heart

Conversion
Hi I'm trying to make sense of something I'm reading. Does something know how to convert between nanogrammes and picomoles of T4? Best wishes H

Advice finding thyroid specialist
Hi, my T4 levels have dropped from 20 to 15 since having an increase in Levothyroxine and feeling unwell with hypothyroid symptoms, it's just dismissed by NHS Endochrinologist & docs. My health and physical ability has diminished since taking Levothyroxine over the past year. So I'm looking for a Private

T3/T4 HRT Meds before surgery?
Hello lovely people, i hope everyone is managing to catch up on the long overdue sun ;) Sadly, my gynaecologist has found an ovarian tumour which needs to be removed and biopsied. Recovery from this will take between 6-8 weeks. I am in really good health otherwise but do take 150mg Levo and 45mg Liothyronine

Mixing up the brands of Levo?
My Endo has increased my dose of Levo from 25 mcg to a mix of 25 / 50. I know it may be too low as T4 is currently only 20% through the range. I will have the debate about dosing again in a month when we have more data. The good news is that my Vits are now all optimal, so I should be making use of the
