Newly Diagnosed with RA
I was recently diagnosed with RA in April 2018. I am currently on methotrexate, prednisone, and Vitamin D3. I'm taking Vitamin D3 because I have low Vitamin D in my blood. Before my diagnosis..I had excruciating pain and swelling in my knees and almost every joint in my body. It was difficult to walk

Help with new blood results please.
So, here I am. 6 weeks after having ivf stopped for the 2nd time as their lab results came back with a TSH of 10.75. I went to the GP immediately following this, and she said my TSH was normal with 4.00. I know that means nothing, and she knows very little/ nothing about Hypothyroidism, Hashimotos Anyhow

Hair fall is worsening after taking b12 weekly injections
Hi all, I started experiencing severe hair fall and fatigue 2months back and was diagnosed with low ferritin and vitamin d3. Ferritin is 22.6 and vitamin d3 is 13. Felt a little better after supplementing and hairfall reduced to a very little extent. My dr doubted I might have b12 deficiency as well

Amitriptiline for headaches
What are your thoughts on amitriptiline for headaches please? I’ve just seen my GP as I started getting unbearable headaches for 2-3 days a week 2 months ago. I haven’t had a headache for 7 years since I left work to start a family. I don’t have any unmanageable stress and haven’t made any recent diet

The finer points
Recently I was asked to share a few pointers sort of secrets to my success. What lifestyle changes did I make. There is really only one. Once upon a time I wanted to die. I had lost everything to a methamphetamine addiction. I was alone, lonely, and living in a garage. Life had lost all meaning.

PA or not PA?
Hi, I have a family history of PA, though I have never been diagnosed myself. I have been Hypothyroid for 5 years, since having had RAI for Hyperthyroid in 2013. I have posted the results for those on the TUK site. I wondered if someone would be able to take a look at these results and let me know what

Horrible horrible migraines
hello all! As some of you know, i've started taking Synthroid about a month ago (25 mcgs/ day) Still haven't gone back for my 6 weeks to potentially up the dose. I'm also taking 5000 IU of Vitamin D3 + 50 mcg of K2 every other day. I'm also supposed to start taking Flutamide (anti-androgen) for my PCOS

NHS prepayment card
Hi all I’m sure you’re aware you can get a prescription prepayment card at £29.10 for 3 months - card payment £104 for 12 months - card or Direct Debit (10-monthly instalments of £10.40) but I only found this out a few months ago so thought I’d put it out there just in case anyone isn’t. I have three

Vitamin D3
Seen my GP today following the confirmation that I'm deficient in D3. RNHRD in Bath advised that I take 50,000 iu weekly for 6 weeks (x2 25,000 iu pills weekly). I asked my GP whether, and at what point I'd need re-testing to see and establish my levels and also to determine the proposed maintainance
