dosing changed
Just to let you know I have atrial fibrillation directly caused by hyperthyroid about 25 years ago. I had my thyroid removed eventually. About 20 years ago. I appear to be very sensitive to medication changes. So I was taking 100mcg levo 5 days and 125mcg on Monday and Friday. This was reduced

Bone problems?
Had radiotherapy 16 years ago for anal cancer, am taking calcium and vitamin D as concerned about future hip arthritis, bone breakages. Am 66. Anyone else had experience of thinning bone density? Would like to prevent this. Many thanks.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) - Hypothyroidism
Hi everyone, Does anyone have experience with being hypo having high blood pressure. I am a 45 year old male - I am in pretty good shape. Exercise everyday and eat pretty healthy. I finally got my thyroid within range. I kinda neglected (only looked at tsh) it for the last couple of years.

Endo asking for calcium and magnesium blood tests
Hi, my private Endo is considering prescribing t3 and has asked for a whole range of tests before our next appointment. These include calcium and magnesium blood tests. I have read here that the magnesium test is not very accurate but leaving that aside I'm wondering: (a) what the tests might mean

Shellfish Allergies and Plant Based Calcium
Has anyone with seafood/shellfish allergies successfully found a plant-based calcium supplement made from algae that you can safely take? And, if so, could you please share the supplement brand. I'm in the US. Thank you.

Still only 1 and 1 only AFIB reading since Oct, 2020
Only one finding of afib since October 2020. I bought a Kardia immediately after and check myself about 25 times a week. 73 years old and all is good. Moving forward to November of 2022, my cardio doc believes I should still take the miserable Eliquis twice daily. Eliquis pretty much makes my life a

P -Afib. Doctornow wanting to prescribe lopemide
I've had P-Afib for a few years now well managed with a calcium blocker SR Verapamil. Due to an unrelated condition another specialist has recommended Lopermide 2mg 3×s per day up to 5xs per day. I'm not keen to take it like this long termly as I see irregular heart beat & palpitations is linked to this

Timing of calcium supplements
I know that it is a no-no to take Adcal, Accrete etc within 2 hours of pred because the resultant 'soup' impedes the pred from being absorbed. But is this the case with gastric-coated pred? I notice that on the PIL it says it should be taken within 1 1/2 hours of a meal. Gets tricky when you have to

parathyroid blood test question
hi Has anyone had a parathyroid blood test? My appointment is 8.25am, so should I follow the usual fasting and Levo 24 hours before routine? Do I stop/ reduce D3/K2? currently on 4000iu drops. I’ve read it makes sense to get calcium and vit D tested at the same time. Anyone know if this is routine

Anyone clued up on bone health please?
I recently had a bone scan and was very concerned to learn that there had been severe degenerative changes to both my spine and hips which weren't expected as my scan 3 years ago wasn't bad. They did take me off Alendronic Acid 18 months ago at which time I also went gluten and dairy free (found out

Kidney Stone Update
A few folks said they were following my kidney stone story, so I thought I'd share the most recent. Things get interesting when you add a new doctor to the mix. The urologist said that because the u/s and CT images show the kidney stones and the X-ray did not show kidney stones, that the stones were
