Verapamil and effects on thyroid

I stumble across the following article and wondered if anyone can make head or tail of it. It says at the end it was safe for the

Multiple nodules thyroid
Hi all, I discovered to have an under active thyroid about 26 years ago and few small nodules, called cold nodules in the medical jargon. I am taking thyroid hormone since then, in different doses depending on the hormones level in my blood. In the last years, the nodules, especially on the left

Strontium citrate results in regaining bone
For those who ask if bone can be regained without pharmaceuticals – you may be interested in this. I am 73 and was diagnosed with osteoporosis more than a decade ago. My bone density tests have shown continual decline. My doctor urged me to take Prolia but I declined. I researched strontium citrate,

Osteoporosis and Levothyroxine
My osteopenia has become osteoporosis! I have been supplementing with calcium and Vit D3/K2 for years. I have to make a routine GP appointment, no doubt that will take weeks. My TSH has always been on the low suppressed side. Last test results TSH 0.05 (0.27 - 4.20) T4 21.2 (11.0

latest DEXA scan
Just had my 7 year anniversary of my PMR diagnosis. The last couple years have gone well with a couple minor flares but I've been at 1 mg and in a holding pattern for a few months until seen by Rheumy #5 in another week, another one I've never talked to before. I did have a DEXA scan in the first

Calcium - forms, doses, timings
Hello, my adjusted calcium is slightly low and I was told to take two of the tablets I had been taking which are 600mg (so having two would mean 1200mg a day). My bloods were tested again yesterday and my adjusted calcium level has remained the same. Has this happened to anyone else?! I'm not on medication

Hypothyroidism & Pre-operative blood test results Abnormal
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism around 2012 - 2013 and prescribed Levothyroxine by my GP. Prior to an operation in 2017 I had pre-operative bloods taken, which included TSH and FT4. My blood test results showed that my TSH levels were very low and outside reference ranges. TSH : * 0.09 mIU

Hello everyone... A month ago I posted after being concerned about a raised organic serum level. 1.89. After a change of diet and a retest there is no significant difference it’s now 1.84. The normal range is 1.40. All other bone profile and renal rests are fine as is the parathyroid level. I know

CTCA result
I’m guessing this could just be down to image quality that my LCX isn’t visualised properly? My cardiologist said he’s personally going to take a look at the images himself and share with imaging colleagues. Anyone had anything similar from a CTCA? They were investigating me for CAD, looks unlikely

SlowDragon please comment on my situation if you're around.
Hi, I'm not able to get labs until Jan. 13, hopefully. This clinic is going under and everyone is struggling to be seen in this tiny community in the middle of nowhere. I am tired most of the time. However, I did walk the furthest today than I have in a month so maybe things are getting better
