Test results and more questions than answers!
Hi I am hoping one of you more experienced people can help me move forward with my medication. I am currently on 75mcg Levo and 30mcg T3. I am greatly improved especially mentally - much calmer and no anxiety or feelings of panic. My weight has stopped piling on may even be reducing a wee bit - I no

Diet and misleading result?
Hello everyone I posted a question yesterday and said many of my test results were normal then. But now I've started thinking and thinking about what might have actually caused it! Before my last blood test, I had started a diet (low potassium, low calcium, low protein, low everything! I actually

Prolia
I am 64 years old. I have been off calcium for about 5 years due to chronic kidney stones. My dexa scores have declined more and I am now at -3.7 in spine and -3.3 in hips. Doctors are telling me to start injections which I assume are prolia. I am to meet with a specialist soon to discuss next steps

Eylea experiences please
I was very frightened to have a sudden extreme distortion in vision in one eye just before Christmas- my optician immediately referred me to a consultant in January and l have a macular oedema (think that’s correct) probably due to extreme short sight -12dioptre in that eye. I was told the only treatment

Bisphosphonates
I was diagnosed with PMR at the end of January, it did take 4 GP's to finally decide on the problems, my GP started me on 20mg Prednisone which has helped greatly, no more pain! I am now taking 10mg for a couple of weeks, then advised to alternate take 2 and 1. My question is, do I need to take a bisphosphonate

Please help - recently discovered various issues which may all be linked to thyroid disorder? Still in the dark, no Endo appointment yet
Sorry, this is a long post! I am 35 and am lucky to have had really good health until recently. I lead a very active lifestyle (sea kayaking, running, snorkelling, hill walking) and eat a varied, healthy diet. There are now various issues (some of which I have found myself with private blood tests),

Recommended dose of Vitamin D3
Vitamin D I see in the discussion on Vitamin D many people seem to be taking massive doses. The recommended dose of D3 which I take together with calcium is 800 iu, which I believe is what the government is issuing. Mine is already prescribed I don’t have the link handy, but too much is shown to be

Dosage reduction
Following on from my post a month ago, this is where I am now. Continued with 10 mg daily until I reached 6 weeks, then reduced to 9 mg, which is where I am now. My Dr wants me to continue to taper slowly by 1 mg every 6-8 weeks. Dr prefers to focus on symptoms rather than blood tests. I asked if

Bloods Advice please - new and feelimg wobbly
Hi all, I'm having a bit of a hard time mentally and seem to have lots of little niggling symptoms that I'm not sure are related to the thyroid or are stress/anxiety related. Briefly, I gave birth last March, noticed a lump on my neck in the Spring and had a scan and biopsy. Scan showed a 'patchy' thyroid

Does anyone have silent reflux following the start of medication following a heart attack?
Hi Hearties After a heart attack mid February 2020, I developed silent reflux causing the back of my throat to become sore and affecting my speaking and singing which became croaky. Following advice from a Speech and Language Therapist this has been mainly resolved by me taking a couple of tps of Gavascon

Hopeful but still keeping fingers crossed!
I am today posting, to give hope to others on tapering plans! After 4 years of first GCA followed by two bouts of PMR, my third attempt of tapering , continues to be promising. I chalk off a new week every Wednesday on my calendar and I have reached the ten week mark. That is ten weeks of no prednisolone

Calcium
Since adopting a vegan diet I've thought a lot of how to ensure adequate nutrients but one I've overlooked is calcium. I see the NHS guideline is 700mg a day. How do we ensure we get that?
