Exercise and Low Thyroid: Am I doing more harm than good? Advice, please!
I would like to ask about having low thyroid levels and doing exercise. I have hypo symptoms, and blood tests show low FT3 and FT4, but normal TSH (for reference, last blood test results are below). So far, no doctor or endocrinologist thinks I have any thyroid issue. One of my symptoms has been unexplained

Coeliac-related thyroid problems
My 15 year old granddaughter has thyroid problems(hypo) associated with her having coeliac disease. Her condition is monitored (TSH is currently 5) and it seems to be a case of "wait and see" and the thyroid may correct itself. I understand this but the symptoms of feeling unwell, low energy etc from

mixing different t3 meds
I was taking cytomel for 6 years. Tsh went successfully down, but I never could reach normal ft3 because of my poor adrenals. Now when my thyroid worsened, tsh went from 0 to 4,5, anti TPO increased and anti TG appeared though never had them before, ft4 at lowest and ft3 aroung middleof the range. I

Suppressed TSH but hypo symptoms
Cold turkey stopped levothyroxine (synthroid) 200mcg for 17 days in Nov 2022. Prior, felt great. Went back on 200mcg right away and had every hyperthyroid symptom, it was hell. (tsh 0.04 FT4 18 (9-19)) I have been trying to find my dosage ever since. Titrated from 125mcg, 150mcg, 175mcg, 200mcg.

Thyroid patients suffering
Not sure if this has article has been flagged before, but I found it interesting. I was surprised that they estimate thyroid problems affect 1 in 20 and still we struggle to get any help. https://www.abdn.ac.uk/news/17040/

Increasing Levo but not feeling great
hellooooo I've been having some trouble with increasing my levothyroxine lately and wondered if you could help please? I've been taking levothyroxine for about 4 years roughly and it's very slowly been increasing (as expected). I started on 25, then 50, then I was on 75 for about two and a half

Hi everyone! I write this post to seek some guidance/support/advice as I am terrified of what to expect. 😢 I have been feeling completely exhausted over the last few months, which I thought was due to stress and possibly burnout. That was until I found a lump on my neck, and found it difficult to

Goitre, normal TSH, ENT
I recently discovered a lump on my thyroid which I now know to be a goitre and on checking online discovered I have most of the common symptoms of hypothyroidism and a lot of less common ones too. GP did a TSH test but result came back 0.87 which I believe to be well within normal range but I know

Sourcing NDT medication
Hi, I’d appreciate anyone who can PM me with their current source for thyroid medication. I’m in the UK and managed to get Thyroid-s from a thailand shop a few years back, which was much better value than the US pharmacy I was using before that, but I’ve discovered they no longer exist. Hope you can

T4 and integrin receptors
I've come across integrin receptors mentioned in a few papers recently where t4 seems to have some activity (generally its assumed t4 is not an active hormone), so was interested to read the following paper. This is yet another good reason for t3/t4 combination treatment. "Preliminary clinical evidence

Avoid prescribing desiccated (natural) thyroid extract
The NHS England Specialist Pharmacy Service advice re desiccated thyroid has been updated. Doesn't make much difference! But in case you are interested or need to know, it is linked below. Note that it does NOT say desiccated thyroid
cannot
prescribed. It still contains this bizarre sentence

Latest blood test results. Advice please!
Hello. I just wanted to ask some advice as the last two blood tests I have had showed a borderline underactive thyroid, but the GP won't do anything until the TSH is over 10. My previous blood test showed a reading of 5.9 mu/L. However, they decided to do yet another repeat blood test to rule out anything

Getting Desiccated Thyroid Prescribed on NHS - and how YOU did it?
I have been nudged to create a blog article about getting desiccated Thyroid (NDT) prescribed through the NHS. However, I have no personal experience of this and am asking for help. I’m moderately aware of what has happened in the past. But what I want is to describe the steps to getting a prescription
