How to proceed?
Around 2017 the debilitating hypo symptoms started up. LDL cholesterol was flagged high and my morning blood fasting glucose started to rise by ten points (still within range), while terribly hyper/hypoglycemic all day. Before 2017 I recall living and functioning normally but looking back now I remember

Blood results
Hi everyone, So a few weeks ago I posted my latest TSH, T3 and T4 results and advised I’m a poor converter and advised to take T3 and test vitamins. Luckily my doctor agreed to test Folate, B12, D and Ferritin. They came back all satisfactory according to their ranges. These are the results and would

Borage Oil and PMR
So we were just watching a documentary in the US that originated in the UK about alcohol and new drinking guidelines in the UK. A hangover remedy that had some success was borage oil in capsule form because of its anti-inflammatory effects. I’m wondering if anyone with PMR has had any success with borage

How do you test for b12 absorption?
How can I test my b12 absorption? I had my b12 tested a few months ago and it looked normal, but I have Hashimoto's and also tingling hands, dizziness, eye twitching, and gut issues -- all of which correlate to low b12. So I'm wondering if I'm maybe just not absorbing it. I've read that this can happen

Fish oil without the fishy smell or taste.
A new study, co-led by University of Cincinnati researchers, describes the development of a refining process that scientists deem a superior method to help produce better dietary omega-3 health and dietary supplements containing fish oil. Fish oil is widely known to be an excellent dietary source

GP refuses to prescribe Hydroxocobalamin as B12 is within "Therapeutic levels"
Hi Everyone :) I have been diagnosed with Pernicious Anaemia since 2013 and have injections at my GP surgery every 10 weeks. I am due another injection in around 2 weeks time. I had a telephone appointment with a Nurse Practitioner yesterday to get my hydroxocobalamin prescription, who insisted on more

Balanitis for 3 months
I’ve been dealing with a fungal infection / Balanitis for the past 3 months 1/2. It started when I had smegma underneath my foreskin built up that caused redness. I was prescribed Ketoconazole and Desitin which got rid of the infection in 3 weeks. I was dealing with a bit of tip issues towards the end

Is an Omega 3 Supplement a good idea?
I've been reading about the anti-inflammatory properties of Omega fish oils (3-6-9) - I would be interested in any experience with taking this type of supplement and whether it is safe to take with steroids? There is also a bewildering array of different formulations of these supplements, so any advice

Post-treatment lab results -- interpretation help appreciated!
Hi, everyone! I'm hoping those of you who have more experience appraising lab results can help me here, since I still have two weeks before I can go to the hematologist to have these explained to me. I have iron deficiency anemia (formally diagnosed) and, until recently (?), what I assumed to be pernicious
