Paper showing which thyroid hormone assays are sensitive to biotin
This new paper is behind a paywall, but the abstract says all that is needed. It identifies those test manufacturers whose methods use biotin which disturbs thyroid function tests amongst others. This gives TUK posters/admin some ammunition to challenge incorrectand misleading results a) by not taking

The public-facing NHS England page about

includes this: [i]A particular drawback of testing vitamin B12 levels is that the current widely used blood test only measures the total amount of vitamin B12 in your blood. This means it measures

Focused ultrasound
I hear so much about PD patients receiving DBS, but I never hear about them opting for focussed ultrasound instead. According to this website, focused ultrasound will cure the motor symptoms of PD, but it would only be used on people with motor symptoms in one side of their body: https://www.fusfoundation.org

DBS
Hello PWP! I thought I’d let you know and share my journey with my husband who had the DBS surgery 6 weeks ago. 2 days ago the battery was turned on and will be adjusted weekly in the next 3 weeks until the right intensity is reached. I was personally hesitant for him to do this surgery as it sounded

Hair falling out with Piqray?
Hi everyone, first of all I am praying for and wishing everyone the best as I enter our site. I know that so many are dealing with very difficult diagnosis and the daily fight for us all is so weighty - so know I am thinking about you! I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing more hair loss

Is anyone else taking rhodiola rosea?
Hubby has been taking rhodiola now for a month, 1 per day for 2 weeks then 2 per day. He is doing very well this winter considering usually winter is when he falls to pieces. He is better than he has been for 5 winters! He is laughing, proactively doing things, and is interested in things. The rhodiola

Test Results - now what?
I am very new to this, but have found some good information and great suggestions here. I decided to go ahead and order a private thyroid test (finger prick). I did all that was recommended on the patient-to-patient suggestions of not taking my levothyroxine prior to the test and to do the test as

Why Am I Taking Butyrate?
A lot of us take a number of supplements. This thread is to make the case for Butyric Acid - Butyrate. I started taking it because some guy on another forum said Niacin and Butyrate "cured" his Parkinson's, and then later I noticed he was self diagnosed. This does not mean he was wrong. So please, anybody

Butyrate Head's Up
There seem to be a lot of folks here taking 12 Butyrate capsules a day based on that post on another forum by a person who said Butyrate, 6 in the morning and 6 at night, and 500 mg of Niacin, cured their PD. I know I mentioned his last week and I see he made this thread: https://healthunlocked.com/cure-parkinsons

Typical med progression?
My friend started taking l-dopa within the past year. She works fulltime and her workplace isn't aware of her diagnosis. Currently she's taking 8 Sinemet 100mg daily, plus 3 or 4 Rytary 145mg. She also takes sleeping medication, and botox for curled toes. She's reading articles on DBS. Any advice
