Indigestion
I have a dull ache down my breastbone which comes and goes. Although I have a mild heart murmur it has been diagnosed as gastric related and I’ve been given Lansoprazole to try. I’m concerned as one of the side effects is osteoporosis of the hip - I already have osteopenia. Is this type of issue linked

low TSH higher cholesterol
I had a blood test via my GP and my Cholesterol has risen to 6.7, but my TSH has remained Very low at 0.02. I am on 100mcg Levo and generally feel fine if a little tired all the time. I had a phone consult with someone who I have never met, and declined statins and a reduction in levothyroxine. My T3

Negative test, cramping
Hi 👋 We are 12 days post transfer and have done a pregnancy test this morning as directed, which is negative. I still have lower tummy and back cramps, does anyone know if this is this normal? I’ve spoken to out nurses and they said it’s probably unrelated, but I’ve never had any problems before

IGE Blood test results in severe asthma?
Does anyone know if it’s ok to have normal full count IGE levels in severe asthma? Do they shoot up in exacerbations? What tests you need to prove severe asthma in tertiary centres?I believe Synacthen is one of them to check steroid resistance is there any other specific to check once having exacerbation

Has anyone experienced low blood glucose on Enhertu/trastuzamab?
I have a rare condition that affects my blood glucose. Its called Reactive hypoglycemia. Enhertu contains trastuzamab and I've found an article linking it with a rare adverse event of hypoglycemia. I have experienced hypos after my cycles of Enhertu. The last time the hypo was so bad I had a seizure

signs of mild hypothyroidism?
Hi there, New to this forum 👋 grateful to be here 🙏 I’m wondering if anyone could shine some light on my thyroid test results. In March 2023 my TSH was 0.98 (range 0.27-4.2), and my T4 was 15.5 (range 12-22) - this was done with a private GP so sadly no T3. These bloods were taken after 12pm and

Trying to learn again
Can anyone tell me why they test tsh when your on medication if it really serves no purpose. Isn't the free t3 and free t4 the main goal.

Test Results
Hello! I recently had a full thyroid panel work up. All numbers seem to be within range except my T3 levels seem just above the healthy limit. The range says 1.7-3.7 and my results came back as 1.8. Would this be enough to have an affect on my body? I have all the symptoms and my mother has been on

I cannot lose weight. I managed fine for years on Adkins diet then suddenly, in 2000 or so I started gaining wight from 120lbs. to 185 lbs!
For years I managed my weight fine with Adkins diet (low carb). Sometime around 2000 my general practitioner discovered I was hypothyroid & prescribed Levo (don't remember the amount). I was doing fine, but suddenly, in 2016 I began gaining weight for no reason at all!!! I am now up to 185 lbs.!!

New blood test results
Hi all, Please see my first results 6 weeks after introducing T3. I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg of lio. I am very confused because I was certain that my current symptoms were due to being undermedicated! And how can my T4 be top of range again despite me reducing my levo and introducing T3. TSH 0.007
