Experiences with

Bed rest

Hi, Sometimes when I walk I experience this sensation that the surrounding is not moving, yet I am walking. It feels like being on a treadmill and caught in a loop. I have to look at the ground or I can get panicked. I don’t know if it’s vertigo or anxiety, I didn’t experience this prior to thyroid

Hi all a friend of mine has many of the classic symptoms on being hypo she took a medichecks test early morning her nutrients are all low in range so she's going to work on these, and she did not test positive for antibodies however her thyroid results wereTSH 3.39 top of range is 4.2 T4 14 range (12

I know I wrote about this 2 years ago, and this problem is still on-going. I just don't seem to be able to identify the cause. Is it possible too much T3 could cause my teeth to ache and be very sensitive? Thank you

My mother (67yrs old) has finally taken a private blood test, after countless dismissals from her doctor that her symptoms are due to 'just getting older' 🙄. She is not on any medication. She does take many vitamins, but I don't have a list. TSH 3.56 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2) 83.7% Free T4 (fT4) 14.41 

HelloAll you very helpful people on this forum. I'm currently taking 400mg of pregabalin. Following my previous post on taking sertraline I managed to stop taking it and my rls has improved again saying improved not to the point where I get a good sleep but lots better but it still drives me mad and

Recently had my bloodtest done. As part of the tests, hbA1c was taken - however, it came back with a value of 44 mmol/mol or 7.25 mmol/L. So, in the prediabetic range. However, I also monitor every other day my fasting blood glucose too. Usually it is around 5.3 to 5.6, but never higher than 6.5. Just

As it says in the title. I followed all the instructions, came off my warfarin and did the heparin injections, got to the hospital and no one had read my notes. There was no local anaesthetic available so no biopsy done. Now I have to wait for a case conference for them to decide the next step. So I

Further to an earlier post a few hours ago. I really would like to just start T3 again but I have been refused an NHS prescription. Long story. Working my way towards 87.5mcgs Levo but now involved in making an appeal to NHS endo. I can’t wait for a reply for my appeal for months as my heart is

As some of you have posted about previously, today I also entered the NIH natural history study for CLL. The visit was good, efficient and pretty painless. Getting on the campus was straightforward only requiring a driver's license and a pre-registration with the CLL team that was seen by security.

I’m on turkey on holiday at the end of the month and wonder if any members got hold of T3 if so is it easy and how much. Thanks

I either need to increase my Levo after being ‘dumped’ by an endo who appeared to me, was going to treat me with T3. OR I need to introduce T3 myself. My question is if I was going to try to shortcut this and get onto to T3, what level of T3 would ‘replace’ the ‘lost’ Levo? I initially dropped Levo

I am due to see an NHS endochrinologist in Chichester next week. My intention is to try and persuade her to prescribe liothyronine rather than my having to purchase it. Chichester is one of the areas that is not willing to prescribe it so I have to be as polite and firm as possible to convince her of

[u][i]"upper limits of normal" [/i][/u] When we have any blood work done, there is always a 'normal' range given with our results. Hospitals or labs can somethings differ as to what their 'normal' is. Always look at what your results are according to that normal. According to Dr. Jones, in

I’m on 87.5mcg levo. My last blood tests showed low ferritin (32), t4 19.1 (12-22) t3 3.9 (3.1-6.8), slightly over range testosterone (on hrt but not on any testosterone). I’m seeing a thyroid specialist for the first time at the end of the month and will ask about iron testing and low ferritin, and

Is there any information available for the brand Strides Pharma T3, I've only had Teva or Mercury Pharma?

I take one or two small Brazil nuts every day because I have hashimoto and it was advised for selenium which is lacking in thyroid patients. I read of someone whose doctor told them they had high levels of barium which affects memory and the doctor had no idea how you can rid the body of barium. This

As expected I had a negative pregnancy test this morning. We knew the odds were against us, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I’m not really sure how to feel at the moment, as we had expected this outcome, but until taking the test, I was still holding on to that tiny bit of hope, that maybe, just

There are only two ways to order online through the search engine. The first does offer PayPal but refuses to do what even the manufacturer will do, which is pack the product in Styrofoam to protect the integrity of the medicine! Sure, you'll save a few bucks but the medicine will be inferior. Not because

My son has recently been diagnosed with DCM and I came across some info suggesting first degree relatives should be referred to a specialist clinic to be checked out. The BHF apparently will provide a letter to your GP to support this referral. How does this work. Will there be a fee for the letter?

Hey all,So we went for frozen embryo transfer on 28th Aug with 5bc that had defrosted perfectly and my body responded well to the HRT fet protocol. Day 9 home preg test was neg right up until bloods on day 12 which also came back neg. Feeling down, low and upset along with anger and frustration. Want
