Understanding Thyroid Test Results
This is the first time I have posted on this site. I have had hypothyroidism for 17 years now and had yearly blood tests. I must admit I have never understood what the result has meant other than the GP saying it's satisfactory. My recent test was Serum TSH level 2.14 mu/1. This means nothing to me and

I have bone mets in my lower back and sacrum w periodic pain that’s controlled w pain meds. My oncologist is recommending a chemo concoction of Docetaxel

I helped a long term sufferer today
Got chatting recently to a lady on FB who lives in my town. She happened to mention that she is hypo and been on meds for about 6yrs. Funnily enough she is registered with the same GP Surgery as me. Anyway she was complaining that she was always so tired and achy etc and I asked what dosage she was

Post-private GP update
Evening. A few people asked me to post an update following on from my visit to a private GP today. Well, it certainly wasn’t what I’d expected, which is to say I hadn’t expected much to happen other than another another blood test being needed and possibly a plan of action. What actually happened

Amiodarone
I have been taking this drug since October 23 after a failed CV last July and the only side effects seem to be sensitivity to sunlight and some sleep disturbance. All blood tests come back within normal levels. I noticed at the beginning of April that my HR was back to normal levels even with a resting

Lower stomach pain
Hi all. I am looking for advice as I’ve just had a rather underwhelming telephone conversation with a GP about stomach pain. To summarise, I had really bad problems with my back stating mid January. Was put on Naproxen and Ibuprofen gel and briefly (about 10 days) Baclofen 10 mg. I was already on Lansoprazole

Hypothyroid - Vit & iron levels
Hello, As recommended by this brilliant group, I have had my vitamin and iron levels tested through medichecks. My results have come back all in range, thankfully, but I know that sometimes ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ isn’t optimum. Would someone be able to look at these please and let me know any thoughts

Elderly mum exhausted, overweight, unmotivated, yellow tinge skin on sides of face
Hello, I'm really struggling trying to get the GP to sort my mum out. She's nearly 88yrs old and in the last few years has put on an excessive amount of weight, she was a size 12, now she is almost a 20! She is absolutely exhausted, just says she has no energy at all and barely gets dressed each day

Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about getting all my underactive thyroid symptoms back, joint pains, fatigue, anxiety and others.
