Consultant
Hi all, I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands and the consultant I have been seeing never keeps me updated and rarely follows up with me. As a result I have gone months not knowing where I am at with things. I am currently back on 20mg of as a result of a relapse last October but now have no idea

Further update on flare or muscle pain
Having made several visits to GP about back pain, I ended up being admitted to A and E 3 weeks ago because my blood pressure was 200plus/100plus, spent 24 hours sat in a wheelchair.This was after a 4 hour wait for ambulance in the early hours. Eventually moved to Acute Medical, the consultant there doubled

Update re: decision on RAI
Hi everyone, I posted last year regarding feeling nervous about being referred for RAI. I just thought I'd update on my situation. I didn't go ahead with it and I am so glad I gave myself some time to do further research and to adopt a wait and see approach. My TSH was low but perceptible and my

Graves and muscle pain
Hello, I was diagnosed with Graves in 2012, responded extremely well to Carbimazole. I relapsed in 2019, and in 2021 and now in 2023. I’m now 52 and a half and going through menopause with dry skin and eyes and global muscle pain. I was of course tested for Sjogren and other autoimmune disorders but

Muscle Relaxers?
So I think we established that NSAIDs we’re no-gos, with Naproxen the least objectionable and codeine as a possibility for strong pain relief, and paracetamol/acetaminophen for regular pain relief. How about muscle relaxants? Are there any that are safe with Afib? Thanks so much!

running out of options
hearts been tight since Feb 23rd. Been to A&E three times. Nothing but codeine and naproxen. gp didn’t take my blood pressure or listen to my heart. Just shrugged me off Work GP (doctor care anywhere) recommended diazepam. he concluded it could be coronary muscle spasm. Nobody will sign off on it

Staying positive/ mind set
How do you keep going?! Until now my pain was manageable. But now nothing helps but codeine. I have 2 kids. I'm exhausted. I'm self employed so missing my work colleagues support network. Plan is to have a hysterectomy but can't have it for a year. I just feel very stuck. Are GPs supposed to help

Alternative
Hello All, I have been diagnosed by my GP as being hypothyroid, possibly autoimmune. I'm reluctant to go on pharma drugs, as I prefer to go down the natural route using iodine and supplements. Has anyone else on here done that? I'm currently reading 'The Iodine Crisis' by Lynne Farrow. 'Overcoming

High GGT Level
Morning All, so my GGT level is now up to 136 & my GP has requested a liver scan, I’m still waiting for the appointment. I’ve been virtually teetotal for 5 years, just the occasional drink on special occasions. I do/have taken a lot of paracetamol & codeine due to headaches from a previous brain operation
