  1. Thyroid Disease General Discussion Forum
    Hello! Three weeks ago I started experiencing the effects of being overmedicated on levothyroxine: jitteriness, insomnia, racing heart, anxiety, unable to exercise, etc. I've been overmedicated before, so these sensations were familiar. After getting labs done, I discovered that my TSH was .5...

    I recently had a partial thyroidectomy on March 8th for a suspicious nodule. The nodule was found to be benign, however they did find a small spot of cancer on the lobe they took out. My doctor seems to think most people who only have half out never need medication. My bloodwork seems to be...

    Hello everyone! I'm just jumping in because I am usually shy, and realized that it's not helping me not having a support system. I am a single mommy of 3 teens, and I am almost 34 years old. 3 years ago, I was finally diagnosed with Graves disease after almost 5 years of battling symptoms, and...
  4. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Hashi's Disease) Forum
    Hi Everyone, I'm brand new here but have been reading thyroid forums all over the internet for some time. I have kind of an interesting 'Thyroid Journey' that I thought I'd share here - mainly because my treatment is the opposite of most cases I hear about. I was started on Cytomel...

My labs are sort of crazy so please let me write the months of labs and see what you think is going on and...

    Hello, folks -- Would like some feedback on my lab results, as I was only recently diagnosed as hypothyroid. I'm a 38 year-old man. When I was diagnosed about six weeks ago, my labs were as follows: TSH: 0.745 (range: 0.270 - 4.200) FT4: 0.92 (range: 0.93 - 1.70) My doctor prescribed 75 mcg...

    I understand that sometimes taking ONLY T3/Cytomel/liothyronine will suppress free T4 levels, causing hypothyroid symptoms to worsen. Has anyone heard of this phenomenon, and, if so, would you comment on how this works? It's hard to make sense of this because I thought taking T3 would decrease...

    I'm a 22 year old female who has struggled with her thyroid for some time. I say this a bit blindly as I've only had one doctor who believed me and had me on medication. When I was 16 I was diagnosed hypo from my primary due to low FT3 and FT4. Since then my symptoms have persisted and even...
