Best UK substitue for US Synthroid
Hi, I lived in the US for over 20 years and was prescribed Synthroid for underactive Thyroid. I found that the generic levothyroxine brand was not effective. I have moved back to the UK and would like to find a brand that is as close to Synthroid as possible. Would appreciate any recomendations.

Cold weather flare ups
Good morning, Does anyone have any tips or tricks, I've been on my medication since April (methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine) I have rheumatoid and lupus overlap. I'm having a flare up and think it's weather related but I cant seem to find a happy medium. When my hands are warm my joints are less

3rd Rheumy says I no longer have PMR but Rheumatoid Arthritis from X-rays and blood tests and prescribed Leflunomide
does this stuff work? The side effects for liver damage potential looks scary to me, someone that once was misdiagnosed with liver cancer and sent to Cleveland for transplant. Yes, fatty liver at age 59. Don’t drink or smoke. Pre diabetic/diabetic Also, does PMR segway into rheumatoid arthritis?

Help with getting a diagnosis
Hi all, I have been struggling for years now with symptoms of hypothyroidism. It’s all really come on over the last couple of years. My weight is out of control, I’m freezing all the time, my hair is dry and brittle, plus many other textbook underactive thyroid symptoms. I’ve been to the doctors

So, I've been getting symptoms that I'm pretty sure are down to my thyroid being on the fritz. I was recommended a new G.P. at the practice who takes an interest in autoimmune problems. So I sit down, tell her that my hair is falling out, I'm gaining weight, tired, palpitations etc and that I have autoimmune

JFK - Kennedy and B12
Given the current coverage of the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, it seems not unreasonable to post about his health issues - specifically the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia. This is a paragraph from near the end of the article. Not intended as anything other than an interesting footnote

NASH & yellow diarrhea

I then started on leflunomide for my rheumatoid arthritis around a month ago, and my ALT shot up to 100. I've been stopped the drug for about 2 weeks now but since
