Test results - can anyone help?
Hi all, Can anyone help interpret my test results and advise on whether I need to work on any of my vitamin levels. Would also be grateful for any advise on thyroid meds so I know what to push for at endo appointment. Results from March (on no medication): Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) 1.930 mIU

On Nutrition & Exercise
Excellent Zoe Pod Cast/YouTube with Prof Cyrus Cooper & Prof Tim Spectre on explanation of osteoporosis and latest thinking on nutrition, exercise and treatments. It’s a long one but worth the listen and thoughts on latest research studies - may surprise many - especially on VitD/Calcium supplementation

Coronary calcium channel score
Is statin prescribing linked to Coronary Calcium score? In late 60's my recent Angiogram was fine but had a CCS score of 25. From what I've read, Statins do not eliminate existing plaque, but stop it getting worse. Always ate healthy, since a child being faddy, cut off every bit fat from meat, wouldn'teat

Persistent UTI's, appears only with sexual activity without protection
History of urinary tract infection I have had this infection for 3 years, Escherichia coli always comes out in the urine culture, except for one time when Proteus came out. For treatment I have used ciprofloxacin, amikacin, nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin (but there was resistance to it), Amoxicillin

Insomnia, mirtazapine, promethazine (& tinnitus)
A reaction to sertraline, prescribed for an anxiety condition, caused me to develop insomnia. To counter that I was prescribed low dose mirtazapine instead. Starting at 15mg that I eventually tapered to 7.5mg. It worked fine and I used it for about 3 and half years. Some of that alongside promethazine

T3 only and heart rate
Hi all, I was started on liothyronine only 6 months ago and it has been life changing. It has resolved 4 years of debilitating symptoms, including chronic fatigue. I have faulty D102 and am a poor converter. I was finally taken off levothyroxine following abnormal ECG and tachycardia. I had a scan and

is this subclinical hypothyroidism?
Hi, Any guidance would be much appreciated please… this is all new to me. I managed to persuade my GP that I have symptoms of hashimotos and to humour me a TSH test , T4 /T3 and anti TPO blood test was done. However the bloods were done at 10:30am, I’ve been having biotin in my multi vitamin and drank

magnesium
I have been taking vit D and K2 for a while now and have been told that I should be taking magnesium to help with the absorption , only not sure which one to take, there’s so many . A friend has recommended magnesium bisglycinate , which I’ve not heard of. Also I’ve read that taking magnesium can interfere

Update on my daughter's GP call today. So angry.
I'm so angry but not surprised. I didn't expect much tbh. My daughters last Vitamin results from 2022 were B12 290, Ferritin 24, folate 9.2 & Vit D 39. She been on thyroxine since a teenager now in her 40's. TSH levels fluctuating all over the place for past 6 years. Well the GP called today
