Decrease in Levo?
Hi, I’d gratefully like to receive your advice on whether or not I should ask for a decrease in levo from 100 mcg to 75 mcg. My problem is, I’m slightly over medicated but not enough to advise a reduction. However, the higher my dosage the more weight I pile on, especially on my midriff and stomach.

'Too much' brain calcium may cause Parkinson's
Before my diagnosis I always had Low level of Vitamin D (like many of Pwpd) and High level of PTH (Parathyroid hormone) but normal calcium level. This study is from 2018 but Calcium concept has been intriguing me for years specially after I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

age and PMR
I’m 64 and coming up to my fifth year (October). I was told “It’ll probably burn itself out in a year or so! Having said that I’m down to 5mg Pred. I’ve tried to reduce, very slowly and actually got down to 2mg but after a week couldn’t walk again. So … Pred it is. I’m resisting taking Omeprazole

low blood pressure
Anyone had this issue?I have been on a calcium channel blocker for about three years after taking bisop and flec for some twelve years, no issues. I am currently undergoing chemo for breast cancer, about to throw the towel in after three cycles, just too horrific. Have had two three night sessions in

Hello everyone! I am posting this on behalf of my hubby, he is about to be 42 and for about a year or so he had been feeling a bit off (mostly tiredness, lethargic, not a lot of drive to do things, etc - he even lost some weight without trying and with no changes to diet or lifestyle) which very unlike

Looking for Ozzie Bob
Around the middle of May this year, Ozzie Bob posted a link to a story about an A-Fib sufferer who spent about 10 years systematically trying one thing (supplement, vitamin, mineral etc) at a time until he discovered a "cure" for himself. I remember he found he had to keep Calcium lowish and I think

I’m pretty new to this group but am very grateful to be part of this forum. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2017 and started sodium risedronate around 2018. I took it until about 4 months ago when my Endocrinologist took me off to put me on Prolia, which she assured me had no contraindications

Managing Your Condition
I'm due another routine rheumatology appointment in approximately one months time and as usual, a full battery of blood tests are required. I've had PMR for over 3yrs now and spent much time researching my condition and the effects the steroids COULD have on my body! I know we're all well aware of the

Raised Ferritin, should I be concerned.
Hi I've had two over range ferritin results in 2.5 weeks, one on June 13 my ferritin was 160 ( range 13-150) the one on 29 June was 163. I had to have bloods repeated as had some abnormalities. I'm post menopause. I've always struggled with anemia throughout my life and spent much of it on iron tablets

Is there an ideal blood request
I've done a quick search but haven't found the answer so wondering if there was the ideal list when getting bloods done. My GP, if I write to her, will pretty much ask me what I want so on top of the full blood count (and the usual thyroid tests I have to have) are there others that need requesting,

Hypercalcemia under or overactive (para)thyroid?
Hello there, My gp started treating me for hypothyroidism in March for slightly sub-range TH level and very high calcium levels with 25 Levo. I was really exhausted, difficulty walking and getting out of breath, 38bpm HR, frequent nasty migraines, spells of sudden dizziness, weight gain, dry skin, brittle
