After some advice and more info . .
I've not posted here for some time and I've NOT been diagnosed by my GP with thyroid issues (yet)! However, I've just had my annual blood test in connection with my type 2 diabetes which is diet controlled i.e. no meds or insulin. The surgery phoned me a few days after the blood test asking me to phone

Hi, I’m new here.
Has anyone advice on supplements to help with depression? I have the sadness, low energy, low motivation type. I’ve tried St. John’s Wort and Sam-e, but neither have helped. I also take 5-HTP and melatonin to aid in sleep. (I cannot take prescription antidepressants due to eye side effects that

Thyroid medication and St John's Wort
I used to take St John's Wort but I have been treated with an SSRI for 3 years. I am now coming off this and wondering whether to go back to the STW for a bit of support. I have seen comments that St John's Wort should not be taken with Thyroid medication. However on the Thyroid UK website it mentions

Cabazitaxel failing- what's next?
My husband's cancer seems to be progressing once again. He's had 3 very short lived treatments in 1 year- docetaxel 6 rounds, Zytiga 1.5 months and cabazitaxel 7 rounds. The cancer has metastasized to his lungs besides being in the bones, so radium 233 is out of the question. He's started to have shortness

Final Test Results in including Free Thyroxine.... am I converting efficiently??
My Doctor sent me for tests (see results below) and which very helpful and knowledgeable Seaside Susie commented upon. Unfortunately the doctor did not ask for my Free Thyroxine to be tested so I had to get that done via Medichecks. My suspicion is that I am not converting very well. Medichecks TSH 1.99
