How much T3 to increase by?
So I tested too early at 4 weeks after my last dose change and have now left it 11 weeks due to being away for a while. There's been quite a shift in the results, so good job I retested later, although now wishing I had added another 5mcg back at the time. Anyway, on 125mcg Levo taken at night and 10mcgs

How do I know if I have too much or too little stomach acid?
Not strictly speaking a thyroid issue but one I know effects a lot of us. So I’m hoping for some expertise. I definitely have some sort of stomach acid issue but without going down the medical investigation route which I really don’t want to do, how do I know of my acid is too high or too low? My

Hello good morning, can someone tell me what the difference is between magnesium taurate and other kinds of magnesium. I see so many posts where where this seems to be the recommended type of magnesium to take. Thank you very much

Bone density improvement
After several years of investigations, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in August 2020. My t scores were -2.7 in my hip and -2.4 in my Lumber spine. I was prescribed with Alendronic Acid which I refused to take because I was also diagnosed with hypercalcemia Upon further investigations I was diagnosed

Recommendation for a magnesium supplement
My sister has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. She has been advised by her doctor to take 400mg of magnesium per day. As there are so many brands on the market, can anyone please advise, from their own experience, a good brand that has minimum bulking agents and gluten free. Thank you.

Ectopics in the night
I wake early every morning and this time I had a couple of ectopics which sent me into a panic, which increased the ectopics. The usual fear of dying comes over me. I tried to calm down with camomile tea, slow breathing and finally diazepam, but it took 2 and a half hours before I felt more settled

First Endo visit.... it went well 🙌
I actually got to see the requested Endo (from the list 😉) Happy to report back that I had a good experience 💃 even though I was like a rabbit in the headlights with stage fright! 😳 No telling off for self-medicating T3, happy with levels other than borderline TSH so wanting me to slightly reduce

PIP advice please
hi all some of you know my story but I’ve had PAF for 29 years about 8 times in that period. I went back in AF in August and went on regime of Flecainide, Metropolol and Apixiban. Decided to do Cardioversion end of September after being on drugs for a month. Went off all drugs after a few weeks told

More recent bloods & dose increase
After my last post regarding my private blood tests, my Endo increased my levo to 100/125 alternate days. I've just had more blood tests, 6 weeks on through the Endo so no Ft3 and again he says they're in range! I really lost my sh*t and got out my list and explained how I've been feeling since having

Magnesium
I’ve regularly been given magnesium in the form of a powder dissolved in water here in the Basildon Cardiothoracic Centre. When I asked one of the nurses why, she said “it’s good for AF”. I know that many people here take a magnesium supplement here for that reason but I thought it would be useful to

B-12 is Low (398), Folate is High, HCY is 55.6, uMMA is 1.7 , vitamin D and C and Magnesium are Low, all B vitamins are low.
Why is the GP not taking my labs seriously, I've been taking methylcobalamin tablets for a year and just began 5-MTHF because of Folate Deficiency found in my DNA, GP declined to do a MMA Blood serum test, I have been allergic to milk and beef since birth, peanuts followed with life threatening allergies

Calcium absorption blockers
I was trying to add calcium to my diet, and came across a website that said certain foods block calcium absorption. When I saw that, I tried to find other websites that said the same thing, but I was hoping I wouldn't find that. Unfortunately, I did find quite a few websites that say spinach, beans

Best Form of Magnesium Supplement
Interested in folks opinions on this. Looking to start taking Mg Supplement but confused about the relative positive/negatives for each type. L-threonate being talked up as it crosses the BBB and has slowed neural decline in mice - but quite pricey compared to say Malate or Glycimate. Aged 50, diagnosed

Let's Talk Kidney Issues
I had a stone removed from my right ureter 2 years ago; the preceding and subsequent CT scans showed stones in both kidneys. 6 months ago I went in for a follow up CT and found a stone completely blocking the left ureter (no pain). Surgeon removed the stone it but the kidney is only functioning at 18%

An interesting observation about anxiety and constipation
I've had increasing trouble evacuating, but I've recently discovered something interesting that may or may not be useful to others. I hope it will. I use vitamin C and magnesium citrate to help the process along, but even with that, I found I was having trouble and that made me feel --- STRESSED, ANXIOUS
