A LOW BUDGET DIY VIBROTACTILE STIMULATOR FOR EXPERIMENTAL CRS
Modern techniques of Coordinated Reset Stimulation (CRS), which is usually administered with invasive deep brain stimulation, can have a miraculous effect on those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. However, the CRS technique can also apparently be administered via so-called vibrotactile CRS (vCRS)

Going for a blood test at 4pm, do I take/not take my levothyroxine?
Hi, Hope everyone is doing well. I am going for my blood test which I think is going to be late-evening (awaiting confirmation). I have heard in previous forums to stop B-vitamins for 1 week (due to Biotin interfering with results) which I can do. I had wanted to ask on the day of the blood test

TSH, T4 and T3 results - are they okay? Hair loss worse.
My Levothyroxine was increased to 75mcg at the beginning of September. I am due an NHS blood test next week via my doctors, but I thought I would arrange my own test (Monitor My Health) in advance of this. I mainly wanted to see what my T3 is, as I have never had that tested and also to see if my T4

start levothyroxine or work on vitamin levels?
Went to the doctor in September 2022 with symptoms of hair loss, fatigue and feeling cold. ( am a 36 year old female) Bloods were done and was told everything was OK. The hair loss was most concerning so I spoke with another doctor who reviewed my bloods who said thyroid levels were on the high side

Thyroid Advice
Hi folks, been lurking here for a few weeks after being diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease and sub clinical hypothyroidism. This diagnosis was made due to undergoing investigations as a result of recurrent miscarriage. My first TSH was 5.4 so I was treated with 25mcg of levothyroxine and

Off meds because of Shingles, but maybe answers to other concerns…..
So about 18 months ago I started feeling nauseous occasionally. Moved taking my mtx tablets to the evening, and upped folic acid from 1 a week to 3, then 5. Not making much difference so moved to mtx injections. Still feeling nauseous but RA team reluctant to pin on Mtx as nauseous is generally after

Advice please
Hello everyone, On my last post I asked if I could have Hashimoto's from my test results as I already have another autoimmune condtion called Psoriasis. I have many of the symptoms associated with Hypo or Hashimotos. Some of you said it was unlikely because of the antibody tests, but also mentioned

Health update
Hello everyone, not sure if this helps... I went through genetic testing and they found my KMT2B gene activated. This is odd due to my age and how aggresive it is. My Dr has never seen this happen before. In actuality, there is nothing in written human history (as far as I know) that shows late stage

I despise to the stigma of mental illness
I have been doing a lot of promotion lately to help pulverize the stigma of mental illness. I strongly believe the stigma plays a very direct and prominent role in people dying. Specifcally for MDD, as that is my main diagnosis. I have uncovered a lot of insights about the stigma along my journey.
