Have had UTI once a year for past 4 years. At stage 2 ckd from acute injury. I know antibiotics are hard on kidneys, so trying to figure out what has worked best for someone at my stage of ckd. Last year was prescribed Macrobid, but ceftriaxone, clindamycin & monural are used in people with kidney

The good news is that my husband sailed thru the Orgovyx with no problems whatsoever, now is in his 6th month and is due to complete that treatment at the end of June. The bad news is that he has had 22 sessions of salvage RT. He is supposed to have a total of 38 however, he has developed severe cramping

I just discovered this wonderful site. I am 69, female, and live in Quebec, Canada. I have had RLS since I my youth and can identify with so many of your struggles.

Hi all, I would appreciate some advice, please I have recent blood results as follows: TSH 5.6 (0.27-4.20) T4 13.1 ( 12-22 ) TPO antibodies 97 ( less than 34 ) My daughter has Hashimotos, has had a thyroidectomy and takes Levothyroxine. I have general symptoms of fatigue, very dry skin

Another interesting paper. I have long believed that metabolomics might hold a key, or even a bunch of keys, to the impact of thyroid disorders. We know very well that some things are associated with high or low thyroid hormone levels but have little beyond that association. Metabolomics might

Hi everyone! I know that we have one of these posts every week but I want to share my latest communication with Endo. I had my first appointment with him end of last year and he was very sceptical about the use of T3 - it will cause osteoporosis BUT he was willing to prescribe and test with his ultimate

Hi All, it's been awhile as I have been doing many tests due to a bad blood test. However, now it seems my test may have been a fluke. Iron results were in a high/alert level and couldn't get in to see a hematologist. Retested and all seems back to normal. However, been having major gut issues so

I’ve been prescribed 10mg Carbimazole. I’m hesitating to take it since symptoms seem mild and TRab and TPO are improving (though only 2 tests). Any help appreciated😊. 1.

In January I was diagnosed with sub clinical Hyperthyroidism and Thyroid Eye Disease after attending the emergency eye clinic with terrific orbital pain/tighness, swelling around my eyes, redness, more blurry vision than normal (on steroids for another condition which causes focus problems) and slight

Latest blood test shows I actually have Graves, although GP originally thought it was Hashimotos due to TPO antibodies high. Also have had an ultrasound of thyroid showing small non cancerous nodules. I have hyper symptoms but propranolol is reducing BP and HR nicely and T3 and T4 in range,. I was

Hi I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease Nov 24 after a long period of ill health including high resting heart rate, debilitating fatigue, eye issues, Palpitations and chest pain. I was initially put on 40mgs carbimazole. After a few months of treatment and reducing doses of carbimazole I became

Hi all. Just wondering what high FT3 with normal TSH and FT4 means? I’ve had a history of going hyper and then back into euthyroid without meds and last lot was postpartum thyroiditis which saw me hyper then hypo then back to euthyroid (I was medicated in the hypo phase as TSH exceeded 48). Currently

Hi, I wonder is anyone could give me some advice. My TPO antibodies are repeatedly raised (87 IU/ml) but I have normal T4 (20.3 pmol/L) and TSH (2.78 mlU/L) - blood test from the end of January. A recent scan of my thyroid last month showed a "diffusely enlarged thyroid gland with diffuse heterogeneous

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had the side effects of coming off the depot provera shot like I have and was wondering how long it took your hormones to level out? I'm 39 years old and had been on the shot for 20 years with 3 breaks in between. My last shot was in March of last year and about 4

Hi all, I've been on Levothyroxine for half my life, I'm 35 years old. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism. My levels across all these years have never been stable. Finally, I was referred to Endocrinology who has tested my bloods and here are the results. I have always thought I had hashimoto's disease.

I have recently been diagnosed with Pmdd and have been through years of hell with my mental health during the two weeks before my period, virtually every period since 12 years old, I am now 45. I read an

My Tg antibodies are over 1000, which is extremely high. Plus, elevated TPO, but normal TSH, F3 and F4. I was told that I don't yet qualify for any medication and I have no idea how to help myself get better. Severe symptoms of exhaustion, leaky gut, joint pains, low mood....Does anyone have any suggestions

This looks like it is in the normal range but by NHS standards 0-34. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Would appreciate
