CGM - Continuous Glucose Monitors
I’m seeing a lot of advertisements for using CGM for improving health. With the role glucose plays on liver health I wondered if anyone has used these devices to keep track of the impact foods and lifestyle has in their condition. And if so did you find it helpful?

Stress-Mediated Abnormalities in Regional Myocardial Wall Motion in Young Women with a History of Psychological Trauma
Just noticed this - and with Johannes W. Dietrich in particular as an author - it looked very much worth posting about. The title doesn't give much away but it is very much on-topic for thyroid - when you read it. (Mind, I admit I have only managed the abstract for now. :-) ) The idea that this might

Atypical muscle aches?
Hi again everyone, I am really struggling to answer something and am hoping some of you might be able to help. Basically, I am on 7 mg pred, and I have mild muscle soreness in my shoulders and thighs. My rheumys don't not think it is PMR inflammation. They think it's either pred withdrawal, AI, or

Now down to 1/2 mg Pred. Feeling good.
Been on 1/2 for 3 days with no ill effects. Have lots of energy. Seem to have lost the need for prednisone. Still on Methotrexate 12.5 weekly and daily hydroxychloroquine. My glucose levels are back to what they were before PMR. Question is can I reduce Meth? At some point likely won't need any. At

Tests required after more troubles with thyroxine
Hello, I’m after a bit of advice re blood tests. Long story short, in 2019 it appeared that thyroxine was actually making me gain weight (a stone and a half in a short space of time) while diet and exercise remained the same. I had battled with thyroxine for around 20 years at this point do I decided

Possible GCA and Treatment Questions
I have been diagnosed with PMR for 4 years and have been on prednisone the whole time. I have learned to reduce slowly because I will flare if I move too quickly. Recently I have been on 2mg a day for the last 6 months feeling good and ready to move to a lower mg. I am an active 69 yr old and walk

I do 3 month testing and it has held for 6 months. I can feel the difference and am not only doing more but my weight is

Low Estradiol and low Iron - is it Thyroid?
Hi all, I have been on 2.375 grains of Armour and 2.5 T3 since May and my results are: Ft4 33% Ft3 75% 24 hours after meds since Armour is slower release. I don't tolerate Armour in its own, tried everything from 3 to 2.25 grains. Iron 49 (50-180) Estradiol 12 (21-280) checked 4th day of cycle FSH

The future didn't look too good, I finally I reached rock bottom. Several months ago I started down the Gastrology track and with a Dietitian.

Degarelix and increased diabetes risk?
My husband had his first Degarelix injection last week. I have been reading that men who get ADT have an increased risk of diabetes. Just wondering because he had a blood test today, and his glucose was high. Diabetes runs in his family as his father, brother and sisters all had/have diabetes. Both father

Health News: Nourishment for Eyes
When my Mom was 6, an Alsatian (German Shepherd) dog jumped up on her, jarring her head round to look, left her with a cast in her right eye. Known as strabismus, the ancient Greek for squinting. More accurately, it means the affected eye can’t really focus and can thus appear as a cross-eye. Off her

A great video on the effects of 10 years MAF training
This has always been something I have been interested in from around a year after starting running , especially when I was running regular 10k's Like many, I found it very frustrating as I needed to stop running and walk for a while every few minutes to keep my heart rate below my MAF Max. At the time

SGLT-2 Inhibitors to (partially) “Starve” Glucose Dependent Cancers
There has been many theories proposed about how to “starve cancer”. And many have gone down rabbit holes chasing unproven theories about how to do so. Unfortunately, IMO, they simply do not work. Cancers are very metabolically flexible. They will take what they need to survive and grow and adapt to whatever
