I am having a bit of trouble getting my dose before the weekend apparently the GP has to agree for me to have them monthly although my prescription says long term so I thought they were on a repeat anyway if I am unfortunate and they are not signed off today can I go a day or two without them safely

Interactions between food and Levothyroxine.
Could anyone suggest a decent source to help me choose the correct foods depending on the time of day? I recently read that calcium shouldn’t be consumed until 4 hours after taking Levothyroxine. It looks like fibre shouldn’t be eaten too soon afterwards as well. That makes breakfasts more difficult.

Calcium/Vitamin d tablets causing AF
Back in April, I discovered that I had a dairy intolerance. I have had a gluten intolerance for about 12 years now. More recently I have also discovered that I have a soya intolerance. Following stopping dairy, my blood tests showed that my calcium and vitamin d were low, so my oncologist asked

Metabolic Acidosis
Hi there I have a current GFR of 11. I am 27 years transplanted with my first kidney. I have metabolic acidosis as one of my problems. I was wondering if it causes any of you leg weakness. Some days I feel like I am walking through treacle. My legs are like jelly. Today I am like that. I am on sodium

When should you take medication?
I had a scan 3 years ago and got scores of -2.6. I decided not to take medication at that time and stuck with calcium and K2 supplements as well as exercise. I am vegan so eating dairy was not an option. I am sure that if my scores are worse on this scan I will get a lot of pressure to start on medication

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years

HELP! I'm New to osteoporosis - should I take meds?
I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis (at 63 - I think I'm too young) but I've always had osteopenia and am a small person. I've had doctors talk about medications but when I read the side effects and consider not being able to stop them (in the case of Prolia... which was highly recommended) I

Bonescan
I had a cupped knee few days ago, suddenly my left knee gave in, I couldn’t stand, last bonescan showed bones are getting weaker. I am 78, small built, are there any supplements I should be taking, calcium or fosamax? I take milk & yogurt for bones. Any suggestions? I have Hashimoto thyroid.

Calcium
It is recommended that older women get 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day. Shouldn't body weight and size be taken into consideration?

New Iron, Calcium and B12 results
My GP decided my earlier iron test results weren’t good enough and ordered new ones and I just received the results and the results are slightly different which is weird since its the same lab. My B12 is high because I supplement and I think my D3 is a little on the low side. Let me know what

Raised Parathyroid Levels
Hi Back at the end of June I had a lot of bloods taken,one of these included electrolytes. My calcium levels,both actual and adjusted came back as below range. 2.1 on a range of 2.2-.26. However my surgery didn't pursue it even though I queried it. I've had a lot of health issues since last autumn

Food grade Bicarbonate of Soda
I think that I may have responded to a tip on the forum, but I have no memory of what it was. Lately I have been troubled by heel pain and right side lower abdominal pain. 2 kilos of Bicarbonate of Soda arrived today. I obviously thought I needed a lot. Can anyone help? Otherwise, the fridge gets it.
