Help! Swollen face and extreme fatigue. Labs are normal but have started on T3. Should I raise the dose or consider NDT?
Hi Everyone. I have had ongoing symptoms of severe hypo for one year now following a stressful event. The most troubling is facial swelling, pain, and extreme fatigue. All labs are "normal" (see below). My doctor finally agreed that it may be thyroid resistance and to prescribe T3. I have been on it

Sorry another question lol, has anyone had success with anti D immunoglobin or WinRHo?
High pulse dexamethasone is losing its efficacy so my next emergency treatment is anti d immunoglobin. Has anyone tried it, what are the side effects and has it worked for anyone? Tbh I'm so fed up with ITP even if it lasted a few weeks I would be over the moon. Steroids have really messed me up and

Travelling by plane and low platelets? Does a menstrual cycle lower platelets?
After three pulses of high dose dexamethasone, my platelets have crashed once again, down to 20. However my petechiae is looking a bit redder and spreading a bit and I've started my period since then so Im wondering if its decreased further due to this? Anyway, I'm due to go on holiday in two weeks

Thinning hair
I have been on quite a combination of drugs, fighting last relapse, since November: rituximab, two 4-day pulses of dexamethasone 40mg 1st and 3rd week, IVIG, then azathioprine for 2 weeks and then 6-MP for 2 weeks. As rituximab has eventually worked, I was taken off 6-MP about a month ago and after

Is there any problem with taking oral terbinafine and topical clotrimazole together?
I have an external fungal infection. A dermatologist prescribed oral terbinafine, which I have started taking. Prior to this I had been applying topical clotrimazole - canestan HD. This had some effect, but wasn't eradicating the infection. I stopped applying this when I started taking the pills, about

Glucose and Cortisol Blood test interpretation help needed please!
Hello, I am a patient of Dr Gordon Skinner and as most of you know he has passed away. Apart from being absolutely devastated about his untimely demise, I am now struggling to find anyone who may treat me as he did...symptoms first rather than lab results! I know that many of you on here are as good

Hi, does anyone have any tips for dealing with thrush when breast feeding?
My new daughter is only two and a half weeks old and we were both diagnosed by the health visitor. Baby is having Nystan four times a day and I have Clotrimazole cream twice a day. Baby's mouth now looks clear but I feel worse than ever with a gnawing pain deep in my breasts after feeding and sharp pain
