Starting on Armour
Starting on Armour for first time tomorrow, I have been told to take 1/2 grain at 8am and 1/4 grain at 3pm. According to the Thyroid Pharmacists conversion table that is equivalent to 75 levo, I am currently only on 50 levo which I have been told to stop while I trial the Armour. I tried 75 levo 3

Hi Everyone All advice gratefully received. Although I have had hypothyroidism for 20+ years plus many other health problems. I have always just believed everything my doctors told me and I was either told my results were normal and everything was ok or not normal and I needed medication. I have

I had a senior moment this evening and when I went to take my magnesium as I do every night, I mistakenly lifted my levothyroxine and took it instead. I normally take it in the morning. Should I NOT take it in the morning now or should I just carry on as normal. This has never happened me before.

Rejoining the world - An update on my cancer experience as a patient with cirrhosis
People have been asking how I was doing so I thought it was time to provide an update. A quick review. I was having very painful time with back muscle cramps and had a fall which resulted in 3 compression fractures. While dealing with that I saw my PCP who identified that I was having a critical calcium

My Labs are back- recommendations pretty please.
Quick summary- RLS for last 20yrs but self endured with no meds until Covid hit and exacerbated symptoms x100. Went to sleep MD and he just started with scripting meds….Gabapentin, Pregabalin, Busibar, Doxepin, Requip, Lunesta. None of these really worked…Requip kinda did but then it did not. So

Ferritin and TSI results.
Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.

Neuropathy in feet, stopping Cymbalta - try more natural?

signs of mild hypothyroidism?
Hi there, New to this forum 👋 grateful to be here 🙏 I’m wondering if anyone could shine some light on my thyroid test results. In March 2023 my TSH was 0.98 (range 0.27-4.2), and my T4 was 15.5 (range 12-22) - this was done with a private GP so sadly no T3. These bloods were taken after 12pm and

things blocking calcium
I was talking to a nurse at the royal osteoporosis society and I asked about phytates and oxalates blocking calcium absorption, and she said that they don't block all the calcium, anyone say different.
