Understanding blood test results
Hi all. After 15 years on levo and constantly suffering from fatigue etc I have pretty much demanded an endo referral. My GP ran some blood tests last week and has sent off the referral. The surgery receptionist has printed off the results for me today. Slightly mystified that there are no thyroid results

Day 2 of Obin, Ibutinib, Venetoclax Clinical Trial
Hi everyone, I completed the second day of the trial, and I couldn’t be happier about my decision. Day 2 was “Groundhog Day,” i.e. a repeat of day 1 in all ways except we ramped up to 900 mg from 100 mg of obinutuzumab infusion. I had maybe 5 minutes of slight stomach and lower back pain, but that was

Herbs for depression
I would like to take a herbal anti-depressant for a while. I am on 75 mcg levo at the moment. Does anyone have any advice on a good herb and any counter indications for levo? I have heard taking St. John's Wort can be a bit tricky.

Heart Failure/Atrial Fibrillation medicine from Foxgloves. Once a mainstay heart drug, but superseded by safer drugs that extend life.
[i]'In the modern era, digoxin was considered, for many years, the mainstay of treatment for people with heart failure. However, this has changed over the last decade as it has been replaced as first-line treatment with other medicines which are generally safer to use and known to improve patient survival
