I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in February and prescribed Levothyroxine 50mg per day. My February blood tests resulted in a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Disease and an increase to 100mg per day. My GP told me that my latest test results (18.04.23) show that my thyroid is normal and I'm negative for

Why you should NOT supplement high-dose D3
https://youtu.be/GsomcvdT7Po This random video I came across deserves more views. If you're baffled about how to get enough vitamin D when not exposed to regular sunlight, try supplementing raw cold-pressed cod liver oil instead along with vitamin K. https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/cod-liver-oil

I believe you.
And I believe in you. I heard you when you wrote you suffered less when taking more B12 than some said was effective. I heard you when you wrote you suffered less when you 'topped' off'. Even though that is contrary to the concept of loading then maintenance. I heard you when you wrote it feels

Tracking your B12 changes after injections? (Please share if so)
Hey everyone. In November 2022 I tested positive for parietal cell antibodies with a B12 deficiency. I started loading doses of B12 with weekly injections (of 1000 mcg/mL cyanocobalomine) over 1 month, then monthly injections since then. A friend had a similar situation. After she started injections

any advice please
I’m having the weirdest of times just now.. I redid all my anemia testing ,it had been a year since I did them so as I thought my iron was maybe too low and that’s why I felt tired all the time I thought I’d have it all checked and also Dr K at the infusion centre in Cambridge advised me to do them

Epsom Salt and essential oils foot soak query
just a quick enquiry. I bought these lovely Epsom salts to give myself a relaxing foot soak but then read the list of essential oils and thought they might not be so good after all. 🤦♀️ I take flecainide, bisoprolol, warfarin and levothyroxine. Do foot soaks mean you absorb a lot of the essential

Help with blood test results
After waiting at least 6 weeks post covid and one venous sample getting delayed I finally have my test results. I am due an endo appointment soon and last time my endo wanted to reduce levothyroxine to 75microgrammes from 100micro based on TSH alone which I fought because I have no symptoms of being

Berberine / Curcurmin essential oils?
I’ve been reading about use of Berberine, curcurmin, clove and cinnamon oils for SIBO/ SIFO symptoms. (In Dr William Davies book supergut) I’m pretty much there with resolving my GI issues so reticent to mess around, but you know how it goes, I’m also curious as to whether it could be even better.

Another ignorant GP - "is PA forever?" he asked
Firstly, I must say, I feel lucky and greatful that I have been able to get my b12 on prescription since being diagnosed with PA 7 years ago, I self inject twice per week. However, it has not been without challenges i.e. paying a private Neurologist (in 2020) to confirming to my GP that I need twice

I’m new to this forum
hi folks, new to this forum. basically was referred to consultant some 6 years ago and started on NSAID naproxen which I had been taking for a while prior and which seemed to be holding pain control quite well.

Natural remedies. Essential oils.
Have any of you used essential oils to help with PBC. I have been researching the use of oils to help detox and dilate the ducts to help with releasing the bile. I want to take info to my Dr for discussion. Medication side effects have been so severe that I only take milk thistle. My ALT and AST are

Hi Sue
I take 1200 mg gabapentin but in bed, 600mg getting into bed, and then 600mg in the middle of the night. This is partly because I have mild ADHD and am quite forgetful. But I don't suffer from RLS anything like some of the poor folk on here. Also I take the following supplements . 1g of vit c. 300 mg

She is also pretty confident I have RA (tons of tests ordered and I go back in a couple of weeks). Two things: (1) my original labs that got me referred to a rheumatologist showed a rheumatoid
