Question about essential oils, and Epsom salt.
So I have some essential oils, herbal teas (peppermint tea), Epsom salt (for baths), and Himalayan crystal salt lamp. One of these oils is lavender and I put it under my nose, and it helped me relax. I haven't used the Epsom salt yet, but have used the lavender oil, peppermint tea, and Himalayan crystal

Alternative diagnosis to IBS?
Hi all, have struggled with accepting the IBS diagnosis as it’s so hard to believe that IBS can be so severe. I’ve tried all IBS medicines under the sun: mebeverine, peppermint oil, buscopan, silicol gel, probiotics, digestion tablets, charcoal tablets, citalopram, and finally amitryiptaline which I’

sharing a small positive
However, I have made two changes this cycle which I think have helped me: 1)
castor
oil
packs. I read it online and thought nah that can't work surely? But then a bottle only cost me £6 and I had nothing to lose. Well I think they have helped.

Is B12 196 normal?
Hi everyone, I'm just after a bit of advice please. About 6 weeks ago I went to my GP because I had tingling in my toes on my left foot, was tired all the time, getting headaches, feeling unsteady on my feet, being a bit more clumsy than usual, feeling groggy. My GP did some blood tests and it came back

Blood results
Hi all. As per first post I am newly diagnosed with Hashimotos. I take 125 mcg Levo, still have fatigue, muscle aches, eczema. Any idea when this will improve. I had my dose increased 3 weeks ago and I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in 2013 before the Hashimotos was found. I seem to have a bit of rheumatism

B12 injections
Hi guys I first posted on here at the end of March - many thanks to Sleepybunny for your help at that time! - I tried a couple of injections because of constant nausea and vomiting for a period of 6 months and the symptoms improved for a little while and then came back.

On a mission to eat healthily!
I’m quite proud of myself today as I was in work but still managed to eat three healthy meals and a few healthy snacks. Breakfast was porridge, almond milk, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Instead of my usual cuppa I had two cups of hot water with lemon

I think all autoimmune Thyroiditis suffers should go gluten-free
As per the title, this is an opinion piece. Please see the disclaimer at the bottom that has been there since the start. I’m surprised the Thyroid UK site doesn’t say this already. I’m living proof of the dramatic impact, on anti-thyroid antibodies, that switching to a gluten-free diet can have. It

Rheumatoid Factor of 96 but Negative ANA test...what does that mean?
My name is Katherine and I am a 33 year old female. I have moving joint pain in pretty much every joint in my body (elbows, fingers, back, hips, knees, feet etc). My RF came back 96 but my ANA test came out negative. Can anyone explain what that means? Thanks so much!

PA without IF antibodies?
Hello PA Hive Mind! Newbie poster but have been researching my B12 def and also lurking here digesting all the amazing advice.
