Some advice before a battle with GP!
Hi all, hoping someone on here can advise me on the best approach to take to get my GP to take action! Every blood test bar two that I have had over the last 5 years has shown high TSH, generally between 6 and 10, and always over the high reference range. However, despite several GP visits they refuse

Fibromyalgia or Hypothyroidism?
A friend has recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I have read a lot about that condition being diagnosed when the patient actually has hypothyroidism. Is there a way to rule out Hashi's? I know that an antibody test won't be conclusive unless they are high, because I (and many others) have

Effects of Levothyroxine
hi everyone, Thanks to some wonderful advice here I have navigated various GPs who initially suggested my symptoms could all be “psychological” The last GP I spoke to looked back at my TSH from my last pregnancy and found it had been elevated, and had continued to climb over last 4 years. Still “subclinical

TSH RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES RESULTS
Hi, got this test done a week ago and the results are 1.26 IU/L (<1.75) so antibodies are not raised. I was querying Hashimotos or Graves so I assume this rules out Graves but does not confirm Hashimotos? Thanks

TSH rising inexplicably
Hi, I haven’t posted for years because things had been as stable as they could be for someone with ME, but in the last year my TSH has gone from suppressed on T3 only therapy to high ‘normal’ to just over ‘normal’ to my latest blood of TSH 7.86. Sorry this is a long post I am a complicated case.

Graves, low TSH low hormones
Hi all, I was hyperthyroid in 2003 treated with thiamazole, Hashimoto's hypothyroid in 2015, in 2018 TSI antibodies went up again, but I was left untreated for neither one thing nor the other. Then I started having these horrible awakenings (adrenaline surges), fatigue, tachycardya… it got better with

Out of Date Erfa NDT
Hello, Can anyone tell me if they have taken out-of-date NDT? I have read that it may just be a little less effective but not harmful. Is this the case?

Latest results and problems raising dose
TL;DR - should I continue to try increasing my NDT dose slightly (from 1.75 to 2 grains per day, split dosing) based on the test results below, though I am getting some symptoms after increase (mild anxiety, hot flushes and sweats, and palpitations)? Further info/details below the results Inflammation

Do you think I need an increase in my T4 dose???
Hi all, I have hashimoto and hypo since many years. I take T4 medication ( 100 mg) every morning. The brand name is Euthyrox ( the version which has mannitol and citric acid instead of lactose). This is my thyroid test results after 14 months of no tests at all due to lack of medical insurance. I was

Symptomatic but within range
Hoping someone more experienced can help advise on next steps... I've been feeling very tired since Nov/Dec, with brain fog, dizziness and palpitations for the last month. All the older members of my family are diagnosed hypothyroid. I had a basic blood test (annoyingly I didn't realise the guidance

Low 9am cortisol?
Hi all I wondered if anyone may have some advice regarding 9am cortisol please. My 9am blood cortisol has been tested a few times now and the last three tests have been 142nmol/L | 172nmol/L | 192nmol/L (I suspect the most recent one is higher due to having an extremely stressful time before it)

The TSH and diogenes
I just found this, written by diogenes some time ago, that I saved:
The following papers from the Japanese shows that, in people with no working thyroid, "normal" healthy-type conditions on T4 therapy only occur if TSH is between 0.03-0.5.
Above this, hypo symptoms are still present. You

Thinking of Stopping Treatment Due to Continued Weight Gain
Over the last 2+ years Ive gained 50 pounds due to premature Ovarian Failure and Hypothyroidism. I was originally diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2014.
