Increasing Nature Throid dosage
Hi, I just started Nature Throid yesterday with 1/4 grain i.e. 16.25 mg and I'm meant to increase it by 1/4 grain once a week until I have 65mg (4 weeks). Does someone have experience of this kind of dosage? I was told by someone that it's too low. Did your symptoms get worse while increasing the dosage

DBS...feeling pressured & can't decide!
How does one weigh out the risks & make the right decision as to having the DBS surgery? It's been 14+ years since my diagnosis at age 45. I am currently on Rytary 23.75/95 MG, taking 3 cap. 4-5 x day. With the first dose of the day I also take 1 tab. Ropinirole 0.5 MG. The 1st dose usually lasts about

Falling over after DBS
I was very fortunate to gave undergone DBS surgery almost exactly two years ago at the JR in Oxford. Almost every aspect of my symptoms have improved dramatically, the only problems I am left with is my totally illegible handwriting; my weak voice and, worst of all, the occasional fall for no reason!

DBS Denied. Any recourse?
My sister was denied DBS after having been told she was an ideal candidate. The neuropsych evaluator decided she didn't meet the criteria. Initially she was told she would have to wait 6 months to be reevaluated, then it was a year. This was supposedly because she might remember too much about the

Gluten free newbie
Hi all I have 4 stone to loose and have been trying for what seems like forever. When I first put on weight I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid and I take medication for that. I am also Coeliac so have a Gluten free diet. The more weight I put on the less I eat but I know that doesn't work really

Deep Heat
Hi, Just wondering if the more expensive deep heat sprays/creams are better than the £1.20 version I've used this week that I got from the pound shop. The brand names can be expensive.

Hashimotos and gluten free diet
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid (and was told my antibodies were high although doctors seem reluctant to diagnose Hashimotos) two years ago and six months later went on a gluten free diet. I did so to see if it would help my migraines. Even though its been 18 months its still early days but

Over medicated?
hello, I'm wondering if I am over-medicated. I have Hashimoto's and have been on 100mcg levothyroxine since end march 2017 - an increased dose from 75mcg as my TSH had gone up to 2.75. I had another blood test two week ago and my results are as follows:TSH 0.27 (0.27-4.2) T4 20.2 (10.8-25.5) But I have

Ibuprofen Gel and an array of other remedies aren't doing diddly squat. I know this is a bit of a ramble but I am desperate to hear if this sounds familiar to anyone on the forum?

Duopa pump
My fellow Parkie's, I went to my neuro yesterday and he told my about the Duopa pump and how successful it has been. It essentially pumps a steady stream of Sinimet through a feeding tube placed in your stomach and into your small intestine. The drug is pumped during your waking hours allowing you to
