Higher CSF/serum free-T4 ratio is associated with improvement of quality of life during treatment with L-thyroxine
An interesting paper. Note a parallel with Pernicious Anaemia/B12 deficiency in which some have low CSF B12 while having high serum B12. Asking the question, though the answer is almost certan, has anyone ever had their CSF thryoid hormone levels tested? On Twitter: [i]Johannes W. Dietrich @drjwdietrich

About to have my first Ferritin infusion
Hello from Tasmania, Australia. Briefly, I have had RLS for over 40 years. I am taking 2mg of Pramipexole and 1200 mg of Gabapentin per night which enables me to get a few hours of reasonable sleep . I also have to be careful not to sit for any length of time during the day or the RLS crank up. Tomorrow

When is genetic testing done?
Hello, I think my husband would like to do genetic testing and I am curious at what stage this is done? He is in the process of deciding on treatment and hopes to have a decision made within the next 2 weeks. We have talked to the surgeon oncologist already. We are waiting on a PSMA scan on Apr 24 and

Treatment resistance
I have had genetic testing done. I have tried almost 75% of meds listed that are supposed to help but they wear off after a few months. I am feeling hopeless. Anyone have a suggestion for treatment. I am in a coping skills class.

Blood thinners and ferritin levels
For the last few months, I have been suffering from low ferritin levels and wondering if it could be caused by Edoxaban. I take a course of iron tablets, feel okay for a few weeks and then it starts again. Just wondering if anybody has also experienced this.

First cycle & ovulation before egg collection!
Hello! This is my first post on here, and having just (almost) completed my first IVF cycle yesterday, I wanted to find out if anyone else has got to the day of extraction to be told they have already ovulated?

positive pregnancy test - natural !!
I’m in shock. Did a first response test this morning cycle day 23 and it’s positive. I don’t want to allow myself to get excited because of the huge odds of it being genetically abnormal and miscarrying 🙃 especially with the high levels of DNA frag. I’m also worried it’s just going to delay treatment

I’ve been on thyroxine for 50 years and for last 30 years reasonable stable on 1.25 a day. I do have a medichecks test every year. I don’t have high antibodies . A few years ago I was waking in the night chocking and mri showed my thyroid gland had all but disappeared, with a small part of what was left
