A toe-curling problem
I have just reached the stage where my toes have curled under to the extent that my weight is on the ends of some of them, rather than the pads. It can be jolly painful. For many years it has been very difficult to slide my feet into shoes unless the inside is extremely smooth, as the toes catch on

Is it possible to go overactive on levothyroxine?
Hi everyone, I am currently on 100 mg of Levo after routine thyroid bloods 12 weeks ago (still in 1st year of diagnosis) & finding my TSH was up to 14, which is higher than at diagnosis of Hashimotos (have had TPA test so know I have autoimmune thyroiditis or hashis) back in April. Gp upped my dosage

HASHIMOTO’S HELP PLEASE!! Should I increase or decrease my levothyroxine? Or what should I do?!!
I really don’t know what to do and my GP admits to being clueless. I am waiting for an endocrinology appointment but in the meantime would really appreciate some advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and started on Levothyroxine in June 2014. Started on 50mcg, increased every 3 weeks

Does CMT Pose a Threat To Life?
I have CMT 1a andhave always been told it has zero effect on longevity, however recent articles in the newspaper suggest it can effect the phrenic nerve that controls the diaphram. If that is the case surely it can lead to breathing difficulties and ultimately death?
