Hi Everyone. Hope you're good. Just wanted to ask for some advice please before I start T3 combination meds/trial prescribed by Endo. Will be starting T3 5mg once daily. My thyroxine will be reduced to 85mcg once daily. I was taking 100mcg. Its a 2 month trial. Timings of meds, anything I should be aware

Graves Disease and muscle weakness
Hi, it’s my first time posting here and I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to me or is able to offer me any advice based on their knowledge and own experience. I am a 40 year old mum of two children under 10 and first noticed that something was wrong early last year when I started

Indigestion
I have a dull ache down my breastbone which comes and goes. Although I have a mild heart murmur it has been diagnosed as gastric related and I’ve been given Lansoprazole to try. I’m concerned as one of the side effects is osteoporosis of the hip - I already have osteopenia. Is this type of issue linked

Private blood results 8 weeks apart
Hi all, again I'd be grateful of your reviews of my recent results (both conducted following all your advised instructions) The first one (with the T4 at 19.8 in case they don't appear in order) is with 125 levo and 12.5 of privateT3 and the 2nd is with 100 levo and 12.5 of T3. I'm still in the process

signs of mild hypothyroidism?
Hi there, New to this forum 👋 grateful to be here 🙏 I’m wondering if anyone could shine some light on my thyroid test results. In March 2023 my TSH was 0.98 (range 0.27-4.2), and my T4 was 15.5 (range 12-22) - this was done with a private GP so sadly no T3. These bloods were taken after 12pm and

Trying to learn again
Can anyone tell me why they test tsh when your on medication if it really serves no purpose. Isn't the free t3 and free t4 the main goal.

Help new to this.
Really struggling. Started feeling unwell post Covid November 2023. Fatigued to the point of feeling like wading through treacle. Weight gain. Severe pain in shoulder and right heel to the point can’t walk some days. Ectopic heart beats that left me dizzy and faint. Constipation. And strange feeling

My levels
Hi I've been taking Levothyroxine for about 10 years. I had blood tests recently and my TSH was 5.78 and T4 was normal at 13. I really don't like taking Levothyroxine. Is there any case that I can stop taking Levothyroxine? Am I subclinical? Many thanks Mika

Endo review... that's a new slant!
Opening line...
Endo: I don't wish to discuss TSH with you as we disagree (0.05 results from 5 months ago)
Me: 🤐 (zipped mouth)
Your fT4 is near the top of the range 17.2 (12-22) blah blah heart and bone issues blah blah
😕(confused) even though it is actually in the middle? Are you

Why would my FT4 change?
Hi, My thyroid has been ok for some years now, I have generally felt quite well. A recent GP blood test flagged up that my FT4 is at the bottom of the range. I am currently taking 120mg of NDT, I was on 240mg for many years but was told I must reduce my dosage as my TSH was 0.05. I reduced the dosage

Hyper symptom cause
I've done a lot of reading and learning on here over the last few months and so now got to the point of starting to asking questions to this very knowledge community. I have many signs & symptoms (and bloods) that indicate I'm hypo but one or two that seem to feel like how I was when I was very hyper

Update after GP call
Had my call with the GP that I mentioned in my last posts. That was a bit of a disaster, although not as bad as it could have been. She did not read my notes or blood test results before the call. She asked me about symptoms, but was only concerned about weight gain and dry skin. I had already gone

Normal TSH, but High FT4?
Hi everyone, Despite two endocrinologists confirming my thyroid is 'normal', I'm experiencing symptoms of an overactive thyroid like sweating, anxiety, and weight issues. My recent blood tests show a TSH of 1.58 mIU/L (optimal) but an FT4 of 24.4 pmol/L, which the lab deems high. I've heard that reference

Cannot get my TSH in range - help needed please, should I switch to levo?
Hello, I’ve been taking Thyroid-S NDT for 6+years and I’ve been trying to get my TSH to be close to range but cannot seem to get anywhere. I’ve tracked my ranges from 2022 and I’m still no closer. I’m nervous as when medichecks send my results they always say there’s higher risk of heart issues and osteoporosis
