hi, my husband has Graves and has been in remission since 2019. He checks his thyroid via Medichecks every few months. His thyroid results are good but in January his thyroglobulin antibodies crept up. He repeated it in March and the results were: Thyroglobulin antibodies- 116 (0-115) TSH 1.89 (0.27

I am feeling a bit better, not so spaced out, no depression or dizziness. I stopped HRT in July. However, I do still get tired, have weight problems, have a swollen scalloped tongue, high cholesterol, goitre, tinnitus, joint stiffness. I am on 100mg Levothyroxine. I take B complex, B1, selenium

Is this a Graves diagnosis?
Hi there, just had my TSI results back (see photos). This is part of my new overactive thyroid diagnosis last week. I’m stumped as not having huge amounts of symptoms but hey ho. I’ll add my other results too for the full picture. But is this now confirming a Graves diagnosis? I did lose half a stone

Thyroid hormone and cortisol!
According to Paul Robinson in his book recovering with T3, he states that thyroid hormone and cortisol need to be considered together. Then he states that thyroid replacement can worsen cortisol insufficiency. It's on page 316. Then he States higher cortisol/effects reduce TSH and T4 to T3 conversion

TPO ab dropped to 'normal' levels
Good Morning all! I'm not here very often these days because largely thanks to the advice and support of the superstars here, my thyroid medication has been under control for a few years now. I hope this is a beacon of hope for those of you still battling through. I take my NHS t4 and I supplement

Weird heat rush all over body?
Sorry for the weird question and if it seems a little out of place. I am going to get my TS levels tested on Monday to see if I have any sort of thyroid problem and I wanted to ask if anyone had these feelings that I have been having and if it may have to do with the thyroid? I have been suspecting

Amiodarone treatment: Could this medication be affecting T4 to T3 conversion?
Hi all this is my second post concerning the effects of Amiodarone on the thyroid. I don't have a thyroid but this medication also effects T4 T3 conversion.
