Change to Thyroid Tests after 40 years of the same dose of Throxine
I am having a battle with my GP. Diagnosed with underactive thyroid when I was 26 and I am now 70 and for past 40 years have been on 150 thyroxine which worked perfectly for me. In April 21 I got diagnosed with PMR and put on 15 mg of steroids. I eat a low carb diet, take Vit D and have done a slow transition

Newbie Hypothyroid - looking for advice please
Hi I was diagnosed low thyroid in August and given 25mcg levothyroxin. I felt a bit better after taking it. I am a self employed single parent with two disabled children. I have not been able to work very much for over eight months now and the house and garden are in a horrendous state. Nothing

Oh dear!
After gastroscopy I have been sticking to a dairy and gluten free diet, managed to get down to 3.5mg Prednisolone and was doing really well but with increasing pain , I'm back up to 5mg. Do I contact GP they seem to have forgotten me? Or persevere on my own!

Panic (in the streets of Birmingham)
Couldn’t resist this allusion to a song by the Smiths and I do live in Birmingham (not Alabama!). I was surprised when asking for a search to be done on our site how few posts there were with Panic in the title. I’m panicking quite a lot recently due to obvious progression of the disease. I’m panicking

Great results this week
I was really pleased with the results of my annual Senior Checkup this past week. After a long lapse during Covid and lockdown, eating cakes and biscuits etc and obviously putting on weight, I went back to the LCHF lifestyle a few months ago and not only have I lost over a stone in weight (18 lbs)

WHY DIETING IS ALSO INSISTED UPON FOR DIABETICS WHILE UNDER MEDICATION?
Once diagnosed as diabetic, doctors prescribe drugs either to induce secretions of insulin or correct the varied qualities of insulin secreted, depending on the exact cause. It is accepted that it is not a disease caused by any foreign bodies but a condition that arose as the consequence of a reduced

DBS Surgery #2, a personal essay

I'm currently in persistent afib with an ablation scheduled for 2 weeks time and I'm on holiday in Greece. A feature of this afib episode has been low blood pressure. I have had high blood pressure for all of my adult life but all of a sudden it was low and i was taken off all blood pressure medication

I saw my first neuro after over five years
Today I saw the MDD who diagnosed me in august 2017. Before him I saw other doctors who could not figure what I had. So after over five years I saw him again. That time my score was 17 and today 23. He was surprised to find out my progression was very small. I told him I think the Thiamine helped me

I looked on HU and saw this can be a problen in PD. I told him what I had read and dealt with it with fans and cold packs

There Is Hope For CKD — My Story
I wanted to share my experience and journey with CKD with you all. I was diagnosed with CKD stage 3 about four years ago when my eGFR went to 57. I saw two nephrologists over the course of four years and had many renal tests done as well as blood work every six months. My eGFR numbers kept decreasing

Normal Meds: is this it?!
I say normal because up until recently I’ve used a cocktail of normal (Rasagaline, Requip and Madopar) alongside Mucuna. The Mucuna was my go to stuff if I needed an immediate lift as it worked so quickly. But I promised my neuro that I’d leave it out: it’s difficult to measure and rationalise when he

SWITCHING TO INSULIN INJECTION FROM ORAL
As a Type 2, I have been managing my fasting sugar level of around 120 since the late 90s very successfully by following the devices of my USA-qualified Endocrinologist. My regular diet centered around LCHF with Diamicrone 80 twice a day. Covid-19 changed my whole system. After taking the 2nd dose
