Big Ferritin Drop in a Year (over 50%)
Not a thyroid question, but a ferritin question if anyone is able to advise? Apologies in advance that this is long, just trying to set the scene. Brief background - I have Hashimoto's and after many years am on T3 monotherapy. I am vegetarian, and take various supplements as recommended on here, and

Dear amazing community I moved to Cornwall last year after having spent almost 5 years after being left alone by my brilliant GP to manage my own health with T3/T4 combo and bloods every 4 months. I am now having to justify why I’m taking T3! I have been super healthy for many years after having to fight

NHS pre diabetic programme- Second Nature
This is more on the helpful pre diabetic theme, currently running. I wonder if anyone has been offered this programme? I was called up, by my surgery, for a blood test, in Dec 23, l don’t know why, possibly my age- 88. The result showed l was pre diabetic and l was immediately offered a free 9 month

Tegretol (carbamazapine) supply?
I wonder if anyone else has the same problem with their supply of Tegretol? My doctors pharmacy does not seem able to get it for me and I have had to go miles out of my way to get my prescription fulfilled out of town.

Need reassurance for upcoming fistula surgery
Hi! I am in CKD stage 5 and my last GFR was 13. Other than anemia, which I’ve been getting EPO injections and IV Iron for the past 1.5 years, and metabolic acidosis, I feel okay. My other electrolytes have been in the normal range so far. I am scheduled to get a Brachial Basilic fistula in my upper

Affect of exercise on Thyroid levels
Hi everyone. I, realised back in March that my long suffering with nerve pain had got considerably better. I don't know why it suddenly reduced. I'm just really pleased that it did! I decided to get my health and weight under control as I am now able to exercise. I started doing three or four walks

asking for advice please? I started with PMR last October, as soon as I was prescribed 15 ml Prednisolone I felt like I had been given a magic wand. The medication has gradually been reduced & I am now down to 6mg. I have had no trouble ever since. About 4 days ago, I guessed I had pulled a muscle

I applied

IVF transfer protolols (adenomyosis / endometriosis)
Hey there fellow warriors. I am agonising over IVF transfer protocols. After a year of batch stimming I am very fortunate to have 3 euploid blastocysts on ice ready to transfer. I have had five failed transfers (x2 miscarriages, 3 BFNs) and feel like I have tried everything already in terms of protocols
