New Consultant-Different Plan
Long story short- long battle to get diagnosis although received in 2019 and Hashimoto’s confirmed. After several attempts to stabilise on mono therapy I was lucky enough after several years of strife and illness to be allocated an endo who listened to me, took cortisol levels (low) addisons test (

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
Hi everyone, hope you’re all having a good day! I wanted to ask for some guidance re my TSH and T4/T3 levels from you wonderful people as you always know more than the docs! So, my latest blood test in December (with the last meds taken 24hours before) shows TSH at 0.058uUI/ml (range 0.350-4.95)

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

Can NDT help with low calcium levels?
Since my total thyroidectomy in April I have been on put on 125 mcg of Levothyroxine and am tolerating it quite well ( no gastro problems like with most tablets and energy levels ok ) except for extreme muscle stiffness and joint pain. Calcium levels tend to be fluctuating between ‘ normal’ and low.

Tell patient results are ok
Good afternoon ThyriodUk I have had my results back from the GP for my thyroid as I have Graves which has been fine for a few year now, so just have thyroid bloods done when they allow them so it’s not every year, should they be done more often. Feeling really tired and just not myself! Is this

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

Overactive again, but why? What to do?
I have an endo appt on Monday (25th Sep 2023). Before that, I'd appreciate your thoughts on what you all think may be happening and why. It might help me get the most out of the appointment. Apologies for the long post — I felt I needed to fill in some background.

Understanding the way forward
I am an 81 year old female. My Thyroid/2nd goitre was removed about 7 years ago. Prescribed Levothyroxine and seemed to recover OK for a while. About 5 years ago experienced tiredness, and a long-standing viral respiratory infection. GP referred me to consultant but usual blood tests etc rated as normal

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,

Thyroid Madness
I'm trying to get my act together! I find it very hard, when like someone on this site said, I forget who, that there are not a lot of studies done on NDT natural desiccated thyroid hormone porcine. My issue, reliable sources, who themselves don't take NDT, seem to think it should be divided
