Uncertain PMR or EORA?

Finally being treated for Hypothyroidism.
Thanks to the advice of the amazing people in this community, I have finally been diagnosed. I went for more blood tests on Tuesday, taking the advice of the community, I fasted and the test was done at 9:10am. I got a phone call from my GP this morning and they said my TSH and antibodies were high

1st appointment after finding out you are pregnant
I found out that I am pregnant just a week ago and based on the NHS calculator, I am 6 weeks today. I have referred myself to Northwick Park Maternity but have no idea when I will get my first appointment. This is my first pregnancy so I have a few concerns: 1. Should I be taking specific vitamins

STILL ON THE BED, STILL TRYING TO DEAL WITH OUR FLAILING MED SYSTEM - NO ANSWERS
Ok. Been putting off writing because it's going to be long. Rheumy still hasn't gotten back to me on CT scan done July 6. Hips screaming. Shoulders tolerable. Why has she not? She is only in the clinic 1 day/week now. Next appt. She set for me is Oct. 3! This from their nursing line who advised me to

should you take supplements at the same time as the Pred dose?
I recently read not to take calcium supplements at the same time as my morning pred dose, are there any other wisdoms about taking Vit D, potassium etc at the same time as pred ? or is it better to not take anything else at the same time? thanks

Is this right or should I request a second opinion?
Been suffering fatigue on another level, weight gain, brain fog etc etc so ordered private bloods for fatigue through medicheck. Results came back as low iron, low Vit D and low T4. THS was normal. Doctors notes was possibly hypothyroid but seek GP advice. Doctor wanted to wait for iron supplements

ivf experiences
I have had two rounds of IUI last year which were unsuccessful and one unsuccessful round of ivf. That cycle I had 7 eggs and 3 fertilised as normal and only one was valid but had not completed blastocyst. I am now on my second round of ivf and sounded promising this time. My medication has changed

Back again!
Hi everyone. I was an avid poster here many years ago (where has the time gone?). I did lose 6 stone in a year and was feeling fab at 40. Now I am 44 and put 5 stone back on over the past 4 years! My body seems hugely resistant to losing weight. I think its fed up! I try all the "tricks" that worked

Blood Test Result
After being on ADT for two weeks, my blood test shows my Testosterone to be 109 (low). I guess this is the goal of ADT, to lower my Testosterone. However, in the same test result, the following was flagged as either low or high. Can my ADT attributed to the issues flagged by the test result? RBC

For those who take Biotin - how much should I take?
Hello, I'm experiencing thinning and brittle hair despite good Vit D, Ferritin, Folate and B12 levels. I've been doing some investigation as to the potential causes and it seems I'm taking too much Selenium (350µg)but I'm not sure about ideal Biotin levels (I'm currently taking 100µg daily). I had

Liothyronine Trial
I saw an NHS Endocrinologist last week who has agreed to my request for a 3 month trial of Liothyronine, something I have wanted for many years. The suggestion is to drop from 75mcg levothyroxine daily to 25mcg and to take 5mcg of T3 in the morning and again at lunchtime. After nearly 20 years on Levo

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,
