How to get help when my results are in range?
Hello all I have posted before and nothing has changed much. I had some recent tests via my GP and the surgery is on my case as my cholesterol is quite high (7) and there are mutterings about statins which I have refused, I have had very bad hair loss in the past 2 years with no obvious cause. I have

New hyperthyroid diagnosis, no treatment as yet.
Hello kind people- thank you for reading. So I started the new year with a phonecall from my doctor informing me that indeed I wasn't peri-menopausal, but was infact suffering from hyperthyroidism instead. I'm guessing this was likely to have begun after giving birth to my last child in 2021 at the age

TSH v low but T4/T3 in range - doc wants to reduce T4

Thyroid-S Batch number 23T01004
I put this batch number into a search here, but nothing very recent came up. I have been taking Thyroid-S successfully for a number of years, 1.5 grains in the morning. My Free T4 is in the lower half of the range, around 14.9 (12-22) and FT3 around 5.5 (31.-6.8). I started this new batch on 28th December

blood results
Been on 50mcg for a few months and have recently been feeling awful again, so I requested repeat bloods. Results came back today: TSH 4.37 (0.3-4.2) T4: 13.8 (9-19) T3: 4.6 (3-5.4) really hope the doctors won’t argue about an increase to 75mcg 😭 I feel so shoddy doing even minimal increases so

Eltroxin - Has ingredients changed since Autumn 🍂 2021 in UK 🇬🇧
Hello 👋 Everyone , I have posted here before ☺️ I was just checking has Eltroxin ( Mercury Pharma ) changed its formulation since around Autumn 2021 ? You will see from previous posts that I’ve recently come off NDT Armour ( 1/2 Grain ) as I was struggling with costs so I’ve been prescribed Eltroxin

follow up to previous post. Help please.
Hi all, I previously posted on behalf of my Mom. TSH, B12, folate and vitamin D below was taken 21/12/23. GP prescribed 50,000 unit 1 a week for 6 weeks vitamin D caps. So we see the ones called calceous 400 unit with calcium 1 twice a day did not maintain her level. So that could be one reason why she

Pub med article challenging traditional TSH-based approach
Hope the web address works - interesting! [i]In a study evaluating tissue function tests before total thyroidectomy and at 1 year postoperatively when using LT4, it was found that peripheral tissue function tests indicated mild hyperthyroidism at TSH <0.03 mU/L and mild hypothyroidism at TSH 0.3

blood results
Hi, I have had my blood results back from blue horizon. The only one they said was low was the TSH at 0.06. I was expecting this as I’ve been self sourcing T3 . Little worried about what my endo will say when he reruns bloods next month, as he’s not keen to raise my levo above 50. Results are below,

Folate Levels ?
I am still trying to feel well ? With symptoms including severe fatigue and weakness, disorientation, and joint and body pains. Can you please let meknow if I might need to increase my Folate level - as although within range - at 13 - I think I had read here that it is best if it is at least 50% through
