Intravenous Iron, oxidative stress and vitamin E and selenium
I have been reading about the possibility that some people may experience oxidative stress with intravenous iron therapy. I thought this article was interesting as it states that vitamin E and selenium are powerful antioxidants that can somewhat mitigate this problem. I would not suggest synthetic

I suffered from gastro problems, constant reflux, burning stomach, constipation. Also severe coldness, tiredness. After checking my levels the private doctor put

Thyroid, HRT

Help interpreting results :)
Hi there, I'd be so grateful for some help trying to interpret test results. I started getting symptoms of joint stiffness, low energy, skin breakouts and generally not feeling myself, in 2021. Due to the joint inflammation in my feet and fingers, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Arthritis, but there

TSH low
I hope someone can advise me. Had bloods done last week to check my thyroid, it hasn’t been checked for over 18 months. The doctor wanted to see me about the results my TSH was 0.5 which she said was far to low. I said what was my T4 and T 3 she said they don’t request that. I said you can’t just do

Tsh 7.09
Hello My mum is 86 & on 75mg level. She has recently had an iron infusion privately as had a ferritin of just 6. Those levels now normal I asked for a full thyroid but they don't do T3 & will have to do a fingerprick test on her. (If she agrees!) Tsh 7.09 (0.35 - 5.5) T4 16.6 (10.5 - 21)

How Do Those on T3 or Combo Therapy Navigate TSH Obsessed Doctors
After my pitiful NHS results in December ( before starting self sourced T3) my GP increased my Levo to 200mcg a day. I haven't been taking that much, obviously as I'm taking 150mcg of Levo and 12.5mgs of T3. The GP I spoke to said retest February and unfortunately my surgery have been uncharacteristically

Hi everyone, I am on 100mg Levo and 15mcg Lio daily and I feel OK. As I have an appointment with my endo soon, and doing NHS blood tests is rubbish due to the timing issues, I have just done a private blood test. I know my Endo is going to focus on my TSH which is negligible but my T3 and T4 levels

Levothyroxine dose
Hi my son has hashimotos, & has worked out that he needs 200mcg levothyroxine each day to function okay.He has suicidal ideation & emotional intensity & this dose helps him feel more stable mentally . The problem is his tsh arent showing he needs this high dose anymore so the gp has decreased it to 125mcg

Anyone experienced HbA1c increasing after starting T3, and increasing more when Levo reduced, does it settle , is it temporary
hoping to find out, if it will eventually right itself when thyroid issues are treated optimally. I think/hope it might but would be good if others have any experience references that could back up my intuition. I was px venlafaxine early 2019, had never had any blood glucose issues before that. Lipids

Advice re symptoms
Levothyroxine was reduced late September 23 from 100ug to 75ug due to TSH 0.03. Have gradually been feeling the effects of this it seems. Now feeling very tired, not thinking straight - brain fog, reduced appetite although crave chocolate (didn't know reduced appetite was symptom until very recently)

First antibody test results
I was diagnosed about 19 years ago with ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Every now and again I ask for various blood tests to be repeated to rule out any underlying illnesses that could be masked by the ME (blood count, kidney/liver function etc). On a few occasions over the past 7-8-ish years, my TSH

Treating anaemia alongside thyroid medication
Having been on T3 only for about 8 months, I have made some massive strides in terms of my general health. Most of the symptoms that had me at my absolute lowest ebb, have gone. However, if one remains it is a general feeling of weakness. I used to weight lift 4 - 5 times a week before thyroid illness

Looking for suggestions
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's back in 2014. I have only been on synthroid once for about a year. It messed with my sleep and my blood pressure. So I stopped taking it and I became hooked on a sleep med to boot. My last US according to my report are referring to it as a goiter. I did have more daytime
