Thyroiditis
I am a 64 year old female and after being diagnosed with endometrial cancer (successfully treated) in Feb 2022, I was then diagnosed with suspected thyroid cancer in Mar 23 after a large goiter appeared on the RHS of my neck. However, after a FNA and core biopsy this was subsequently diagnosed as Thyroiditis

vertigo
hi all, I hope you’re doing well. Please can I ask if a high tsh can cause vertigo, blurry vision and /or seeing flashing lights? Even after changing dose 2 weeks ago?

looking for alternative to LDN
Hi, My husband has taken LDN successfully for over 6 months but is now working in a country where it’s not prescribed and he isn’t permitted to take it in with him. I’ve been looking at supplements like lion’s mane etc and wondered if anyone here has any positive experiences? His TSH etc is checked

High TSH Tip
TSH volatile over last 12 months 3.8-8.1. (Range 02.7-4.2). Taking the Levothyroxine (150mg) during the night to maximise effect. Doctor questioning how I am taking the dose and very perplexed why the volatility. Feeling jaded at these levels. After much searching I have just learned that no Iron

Waste of time at new Endo
Hi all just thought I'd UPDATE after my daughters visit with the new Endo. On a scale of 1-10. I rate him a 2! The nurse took her BP and asked weight & hgt. Then the Dr walks in , says ok let's look at labs , remarked all look good. Daughter goes on to say she's put on weight despite working out and

postpartum thyroiditis
I was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis in April after going to the GP with dizzy spells, raised heart rate and weight loss despite eating more due to increased appetite. My current TSH is 0.005 and I’m just feeling so rubbish with exhaustion (my 6 month old baby isn’t helping adding to this) and

Surprise at GP
had an appt this morning about gut/urgency issues and finally got round to asking what my very first TSH reading was, in August 2021, 3 months post hip replacement surgery. My understanding was that I was borderline - I didn’t even know what that was! I was retested six weeks later and a bit higher,

I saw the endo last week. Told her all my symptoms but she didn’t seem interested just that my TSH and ft3&ft4 were in limits. She said a lot of my symptoms could be from something else or age related. I said about vitamins and she said she would do them so that I could take some to see if that helped

metformin & tsh level
does anybody have any experience with metformin lowering TSH level? I came upon a study that said it can lower tsh in hypo patients. My daughter has been on 500 mg metformin for years. Her tsh is always low and she has a ton of hypo symptoms. I have hashimotos and my gut tells me she is headed there.

Back to life thanks to this forum! GP Next steps though - further levo increase?
You've been so helpful. Your collective knowledge has led to a diagnosis of (ords) hashimotos, my levo being upped to 75mg and I'm pain free for the first time in 5 YEARS! Thank you. I feel alive again. I armed myself with printed NICE guidelines and facts/ research and GP didn't resist this time and

Feeling pretty meh miscarriage no 6
Hi ladies. this might be a long one sorry. I don’t even know why I’m posting this but can’t talk to the ”outside world”. My best friend lives aboard and I haven’t made any Mum friends since having Francesca. Those who don’t know me - I had an horrific 7 years struggle with involved 3 surgeries
