19 year old son, blood results. Only taking 75mcg levothyroxine but results show high T3?
Hi everyone, My 19 year old son is having symptoms returning. Backround tiredness, low resistance to bugs and migraines seem to be comming back. He has been on Levo 75mcg for 3 months. Initially Doctor started him on 25mcg Levo last summer. He has responded really well to the levo, resolving most

Please can I get a view from experienced users of what I should be suggesting to my endo consultant the next time I see him. He is very open to what I have to say but I am currently feeling a bit lost as to what to do. My main problem at this stage is my weight. I have put on 2 stone in

Endo has given me T3.. What do I need to know?
So after many calls and emails over the last 6 weeks, I got an emergency appt with my endo. 2 months ago he dangled the carrot of "maybe needing to add in T3" but then wrote to me saying my bloods are in range and to review in August. Then he's ignored me. After persistence and many messages, I saw

New Research: Link Between Type D Personality and Hypothyroidism Discovered. Thoughts??
Interesting new study. Full access to the original research can be found below the news article. https://neurosciencenews.com/type-d-personality-hypothyroidism-25888/ Not really sure the purpose of this other than clutching at straws and keeping the prized TSH measurement in focus rather than looking

Is it known for Electromagnetic Field Radiation (EMF) to increase TSH whilst still having normal T4 and T3 levels?
Hi, I know a lot of people say that electromagnetic fields are generally not a risk, but what if someone is exposed to it constantly throughout the day without any fresh air, surrounded by computers and other equipment quite close to your body? Can this increase and play havoc with your TSH number

Need support with talking to GP/Private doctor. What should my next step be?
Hi. Shockingly, I have recently realised that I might be having allergic side effects to the levo I have been taking all these years. I am shocked by this. I didn't even know that Levo could have side effects because I was never told that I should be on the lookout. I have visited so many private endos

Just had hysterectomy due to prolapsed bladder and think it's come back due to severe constipation.
Completely fed up. Does this mean I have to have surgery again? I have also ran out of ndt again for about the fifth time due to it being so expensive and my tsh was really high about 6.5 when I had blood test for my pre op. It was also high the previous time as I had ran out then as well. I hate

confusing results
I have been in thyroid for 50 years. My TSH has always been abnormally low (.09) while all other tests in the low normal range. I am also, asymptomatic when it comes to any issues relating to too much meds and have never had any other illnesses. I feel good and have lived like this for. 50 years.

Surprise blood test
My Practice Pharmacist advised me to have TSH restest this month. I don’t know why except I told them I was swapping back to Accord brand (but they tell me it makes no difference, so 🤷♀️) Anyway, I’m going in the morning, observing protocols. Is it really only vit B that can affect serum? Thanks
