Did any of you who had tooth extractions go on to have dental implants? I am leaning against due to cost and issues related to

Reintroducing gluten for coeliac test?
Hello everyone, After going gluten free in mid-November 2023 I have today had a blood test request come in which involves a coeliac test. I was tested for coeliac in 2017 too (negative) but didn't know I was being tested for it and had been eating strictly low carb for about 2 years at that point

Hello I messaged on here recently about my symptoms and was recommended to take a private blood test, which I've done. So I'm surprised that they've all come back normal! I screenshot them but not all together. Think I need to now think it is actually not my thyroid, but rheumatoid after all!

Hashimoto advice please
hello, I have had an underactive thyroid and been on Levothyroxine 75mg since 2015. Last November I had a private blood test done as I had been struggling with lots of ‘symptoms’ and wondered if my thyroid could be the cause and it showed I have Hashimoto’s disease which I understand is an autoimmune

Parkinson's wife
My husband was diagnosed about 4 years ago though I suspect Parkinsons was developing long before that. Main problem - neither Sinemet or Madopar has any effect on bradykinesia or tremor (let alone the non motor symptoms)and increasing medication e.g. Neupro patch = rotigotine dopamine agonist only
