Do Nordic Walking Poles help for CMT drop foot?
I have the drop foot type CMT. The muscle on the top of my foot which is used to launch forward when you walk really does not work well any more. It is very tiring to walk because my legs have to do all the work. Has anyone with this same condition tried Nordic Walking Poles? And has it helped you

Medicheck results - am I a poor converter?
Hello there, I had a Medicheck thyroid test as my GP says I'm well within range on my TSH 1.29 (0.3 - 4.2), the only test he ordered to check if 100mg of Levo was right for me. I had asked for FT4 and FT3 but they weren't done, surprise. My Medicheck results are TSH 0.805 (0.27 - 4.2) FT4 19

IM IN A STATE OF CONFUSION! I desperately need help to understand and actions to take following recent blood results.
My GP reduced my levo thyroxine from 100mcg to 75mcg, at beginning of March, as my TSH was 0.13 (0.27-4.2)..... T4 was21.1 (12-22) T3 was 4.9 (3.1-6.8) Of course he thinks that TSH is the most important reading , 😡 and I hadn’t the energy to dispute it . Was supposed to be retested in 6 weeks but

Inj. Hertraz insurance cover
Hi Everyone, This is regarding insurance cover for Trastuzumab(Hertraz Inj.). The cashless claim for this was rejected recently for 2nd cycle claiming it was not payable by UHC TPA, while the same was approved for the 1st cycle. I don't know why they rejected it for 2nd cycle. I have applied for reimbursement

Sons thyroid results
Hi, My son (18) has just had a full thyroid check with Medicheck. We did this because he is often very tired and I have Hashimotos (and my mother had Lupus, so AI in the family). I thought he may have it too. His results are: CRP HS 0.14 (0-5) Ferritin 192 (30-400) Folate serum 6.03 (3.89-19.45)

Newbie/ Medichecks results
Hi, As a newbie to all of this I’d really appreciate some help and advice. A few weeks ago I went to see my GP because I was feeling exhausted. I’ve been many times over the years, and looking back, my visits have been around tiredness (mostly), feeling like there’s a lump in my throat when swallowing

A stopgap measure to treat respiratory distress.
Repurposing a drug used for blood clots may help Covid-19 patients in danger of respiratory failure, researchers suggest.
Researchers at MIT and the University of Colorado at Denver have proposed a stopgap measure that they believe could help Covid-19 patients who are in acute respiratory distress

Advice on medichecks results.
Hi all, my latest results have arrived. I've been on 75mcg for over 1 year now as my GP wouldn't increase the dosage, even when I complained of a lot of symptoms. My last results in June 2019 were: TSH 1.58mu/L 0.35-5 (GP doesn't do anything else) Latest from Medichecks (early morning, fasting and took
