Medication check
Hi everyone, I have a question for Sue and Jools as just left Doctors and wanted to check if the meds she's given me will be OK to take with RLS. I have had no choice but to go back on some tablets nd increase one, but have told her I did not want Statins again, she has given me Fenofibrate 200mg daily

Advice on where to get blood tests done privately
Hi all, I hope you can help with my query. I've always had issues with T4 but after a good few years of a boost on dessicated thyroid (Erfa) the weight is piling on again. My private doctor has recommended I get the following tested but I'm struggling to find a company that can test my fasting glucose

Leflunomide, Mycophenolate, Azathioprine instead of TCZ, that was the question
Thanks for your help in answering this question. It seems Leflunomide is the only real contender. So much so that my cynical self wonders if the other two are only there to give the illusion of choice! Any more info about your experience of Leflunomide is very welcome. Not rushing into anything, and

Advice on statins and vascular atheroma please
Story so far.... Had a recent hospitalisation in Cyprus for a problem unconnected to the thyroid (acute diverticular episode after 30 years of no major issues) which resulted in me having to have a CT scan when I returned from holiday. The scan was OK on the original issue, nothing sinister revealed
