Dr. Bianco: video from Thyroid Foundation of Canada
from 9 months ago. Somehow it ended up in my youtube feed this morning. He makes the point that L-thyroxine doesn't always manage to result in good fT3 levels and patients need Liothyronine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGlYO_H4Gdc&t=2682s

GP appointment and blood tests - will recent steroid injection skew results?
Afternoon everyone, I had a GP appointment yesterday to discuss my symptoms. Went through everything that has happened since the summer. She sent me for blood tests today which included CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid factor and various other tests relating to autoimmune conditions. She insisted I call back for

What I had failed to grasp about caffeine all these years...
I am a coffee lover all the way through my life to the extent that we now have a nespresso these days with all the various blends to keep variety up. All the research I read talked about the anti-oxidant properties of coffee and the benefits to a more positive digestion etc etc. Even I used to think

Hemorrhoids from higher cholesterol
I thought I'd ask if this is common for other people. I suspect my Hemorrhoids have got quite bad as a result of slightly underactive thyroid. My cholesterol is mildly high - 5.7 when it should be below 5. Also I have gilberts syndrome which is high bilirubin. When I fasted or went more than 6 hrs without

24hr Holter
Hi, Recently started back on Bisoprolol for palpitations/PVCs after 7yrs off. I'm on low dose, 1.25mg but they've really calmed down what were pretty uncomfortable symptoms (3 A&E visits in one weekend!) Anyhow, have a holter monitor booked for next week and not sure whether to stop the Bisoprolol or

Previous Heart attack/stent
2016 when my life changed. I look back now and see that my life in a wierd form changed for the better following my heart attack at the age of 55. Since having the stent placed I realised how restricted my body had been and the relief this procedure had given me. I attended rehabilitation classes for

Weight problems and insensitive people
I've been so self conscious since gaining so much weight from my underactive thyroid that I'm basically a hermit in my own home, I barely go outdoors, for fear of being called up on my weight gain, or "looking well". Today I decided to go outdoors only to bump into an old acquaintance who couldn't resist

Reporting results from Eclipse Trial
Prior to beginning trial last June I had just gone castrate resistant and PSA was at 3.3. A few weeks after the last of four injections PSA settled in at .25 so there was still something left. However PSA now has quickly shot up to .75 And since I stopped Orgovyx and Zytiga, Testosterone is going up

Reducing cholesterol
I’ve been told that because of the stricter diagnostic parameters the NHS now uses for assessing cholesterol levels in the blood, I have very slightly raised cholesterol. I’ve been told I can have statins, which I agreed to take, with much regret, because they are powerful drugs and I’m already taking

Switching from Disopyramide to Bisoprolol - any advice?
Hi, I have been taking Disopyramide (Rhythmodan Retard 250mg) for AF, but have been unable to find any pharmacists with stock for a while now. So the Cardiac Nurse at my Doctor's Surgery has switched me to Bisoprolol. I am about to switch over from the last of my Disopyramide, and start with the Bisoprolol

Has xtandi failed?
I had my lupron injection Tuesday and PSA checked. PSA 0.09, three months ago PSA was 0.06. I asked my doctor if xtandi has failed, he told me not necessarily. He told me once your PSA reached its lowest point it fluctuates up and down until it stabilized. I will have PSA checked again in 6 weeks

The disease is in thought, environment, perception and inherited information. Then it goes into our body chemistry.
I had a fabulous summer. Living in a natural paradise, having a vegetable garden, bathing in the river, meditation, Chikung, electric bike rides in the mountains, fresh air and springs, redox molecule supplements, electro-stimulation with micro-currents, etc. have all made my Parkinson's "even better

Discoid lupus
Hi. I have just got results of biopsy. I have discoid lupus, I have also had full blood checks and came back clear. Every where I read says discoid lupus only affects the skin. But I have been experiencing joint pain pretty much every part of my body where there's joints, stiffness, extreme fatigue.

He lived a wonderful life
My father passed away on Sunday, 10/15/2023, at the age of 91. We initially learned of his very high PSA level on 10/14/2021 (two years prior), with the diagnosis of Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer soon thereafter. In addition to advanced prostate cancer, he had dementia that progressed significantly

Collapse then AF
Dad has mixed dementia and is 90 in May. He lives alone with my support. He has a history of collapse dating back to the 1990's but only three in all that time. He had a pacemaker in 2017 due to another collapse and found to have some heart block. A year later he had another and this is when we noticed
