Why doesn’t t3 work for me
I have always known I was hypothyroid, finally dr M. checked my labs, my Rt3 was 21 and free t3 was 3.4. Free t4 was 0.90. I have the other lab values if needed. My a1c , and I have never been diagnosed as a diabetic.... was 5.4. So I was prescribed cytomel 5 mcg and metformin 500er twice a day.

Metformin and Weight loss
I had no intention of posting today but after such a great visit to my GP, I thought why not. I have always been pretty clean with my eating. I tend to stick to low carb, high protein and good fats….92% of the time. That and the fact I cut back significantly on alcohol and I maintain a steady enough

One year since surgery
I had my psa test today one year post surgery and it is undetectable. I asked my urologist about getting on metformin and a statin because I have high triglycerides and an a1c of 5.8. He said they have anticancer properties and recommended them.

Treatment update
I’ve been posting here for about six months, but I am always uncomfortable about posting personal updates. I wonder whether I am bragging, whining, boring people or some combination of the above. Regardless, I enjoy reading the experiences of others, both positive and negative. I personally think

Do other medications interact with b12 injections
My mum's b12 level were at 274 last year, she went on to have a TIA. I think it ws caused by years of taking metformin. Her GP refused to give her trial of b12 injections but gave her a private prescription of 5 viles of b12. My question is, is it safe for her to take b12 with the medication she is

Does PCOS get worse with age? Can it lead to endometriosis if not treated?
Apologies for the very long post. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 17. My periods started when I just turned 12 and were always fairly regular (25-31 days) but quite heavy and painful, and although I was a healthy weight as a child and teenager, I did suffer with bad skin/acne which made the doctors suspect

She has said it is borderline but not classed as high and they won’t alter my medication at this time but will check again in six months time. I, however,

How bad is it for a type 2 diabetic to miss Metformin for 3 weeks?
I'm new here. I'm asking this question because my boyfriend has been unable to get his medication (due to an insurance problem) and his family doesn't seem too concerned. I want to help, since I think it may be unhealthy to miss medication to treat diabetes, but I don't know much about it. What can

PCOS, Metformin use and pregnancy
Hiya, I was wondering if anyone takes Metformin for PCOS? My question is when in pregnancy should you stop taking it, or just carry on? I'm sure our clinic recommend taking it until 15w, but I can't remember. Thank you xx
