Night sweats etc.
I am tapering down from 30mg pred since April 2022 and I am now down to 3mg (4mg alternate days). I am finding I am having a lot of night sweats. Has anyone found else had this problem and if so how long it lasts for? I have to add that I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and didn't know

K2 supplement
Having read on this forum that calcium/D3 is best supplemented with K2 to aid absorption, I've been taking it with my (prescribed) iCal D3 chewable tablets for some years. I had breast cancer in 2016 and was prescribed Letrozole, and as I had radiotherapy too, advised to take iCal and Alendronic Acid

Staying on 5mg indefinitely.....
Forgive me if I've brought this up before but after my rheumatologist advised me that there are little or no side effects when on 7.5mg prednisolone providing one takes the right precautions - Calcium, Vit D supplements and healthy eating habits e.g. low or no sugar, low or no carbs, etc. I thought I

Blood test results
Could you help me make sense of these? 18 months ago my GP lowered my levothyroxine dose on the basis of a suppressed TSH. I got all the symptoms back. I did not have a blood test between Jan 2022 and a fortnight ago. I waited 15 months for this hospital appointment. The consultant wrote to me with

Statin Side Effects
Hi I have been on statins for many years now and for about 12 months I have been feeling quite generally unwell occasionally. Mainly weak, achy, shaky & sometimes upset stomach. I’ve had blood tests & calcium levels are found to be raised. GP said that statins wouldn’t cause high calcium levels,

Calcium Confusion
Not sure if this info matters, but I do have regulated hypothyroid and am on NP thyroid. And calcium has always been normal, around 9. Any time I take calcium supplements I get a bad headache and kinda feel loopy/confused…anyone know why or experience similar? It’s hard to find any info on it. So now

Help for appointment.
Hi, I have my first actual face to face appointment with my Endo on Tuesday next week since lock down. I had written to him a few months back to say I wasn't feeling particularly great, and I pointed out my just in range T4 and said I think I would benefit with an increase in my Levothyroxine and maybe

update part two!
The lovely cardiac medical secretary called me yesterday as the consultant emailed her about my questions. To be honest it sounds like the consultant thinks I have already had my calcium ct scan results, which I haven’t! He said some calcifications doesn’t always mean heart disease - I didn’t know I

High White cell and neutrophils
I had a blood test last Thursday, on viewing it said both above normal on the white cell count and neutrophils. I'm still waiting for the others to come back like ferritin, B12, folate, liver function, CRP, thyroid function, vit d, calcium, lipids and U&E's. I have been feeling a bit rubbish but the

Wake up please and you will understand.
Last year I was a mess, my ocd hit high levels but alot of that was because I came off valium cold turkey and it gave me a massive physical and psychological major major battle, that breakdown taught me alot my friends and I hope this will serve you well. I suffered and still do at times when stressed

Vitamin D Status & Cancer Mortality
New German study of British data below [1]. I was born on the SW coast of England at latitude 50 degrees. (Edinburgh, Scotland is at 56 degrees.) St. John's in Newfoundland, Canada, is at latitude 47.6 degrees, so one might expect the average Brit to have a much poorer vitamin D status than the

calcium supplement
I am wandering if it will be better for me to take a low dose calcium supplement, I take 20mg of pantoprazole a day and that might stop me for absorbing calcium, I am getting aches in my back goes off with rest, I also have locally advanced prostate cancer but that's under control at the moment but

how common is Hypoparathyroidism after TT
hi all. Back again 😬 my endo tells me this is really common and she sees it a lot with the surgeon I’m scheduled to see but that he’s a very good surgeon. Do I need to look into seeing someone else? My endo told me it happens in between 5 and 10 per cent of TTs. She never mentioned the possibility

Update
Update. Had a phone call from cardiac department today, it was the secretary again who said my consultant said my echo was fine. Phew good news. I asked about my calcium ct scan result and she didn’t know that. I said could she ask my consultant for the result and why did he think I needed an angiogram
