Harmony magazine is out - article about Lyme
The Thyroid UK member magazine, Harmony, has now gone out in the post! This issue includes a short article about Lyme disease which some of you may find interesting. It’s very difficult to find a doctor in the UK who treats Lyme disease and so we were very pleased to find out that Dr Jess P Armine

Changing to Armour from Levothyroxine
On the advice of my nutritionist, I asked and persuaded my G.P. to switch me from Levo to Armour Thyroid but I've read a few other messages on here now about doing a gradual switch over and even a split dosage. I have been taking my normal dose of Levo ....50mcg a day because I was unsure how long it

Chicken pox
I have had PMR for about a year, I have read that we should avoid contact with anyone who has chicken pox. The virus is going round the school I work in. I definitely had chicken pox as a child - will my antibodies protect me or should I be careful?

Functional Neurology
A while back I posted a question, “Does anybody else use functional neurology as a treatment program?” I did not hear from anybody that does, but many responses asking me what it’s about. So I will try to explain my experience with functional neurology in very layman’s terms. I was referred to a functional

Feels like my life is on hold
I was diagnosed with endometriosis last year after suffering for many years, my first batch of surgery came back completely inconclusive but it was just a general gyne and it wasn't until I was seen in a BSGE centre that I finally had some of this evil disease removed. I'm used to being in pain everyday

Stevia better for Lyme than antibiotics? How much more can nature give us without dreadful risks?
In the late 90's I got my first Stevia when visiting family in the US... used it for porridge and where needed in place of sugar. Once hypothyroidism diagnosed, decade+ later, I was so happy not to have been using sugar. I enjoyed stevia [particularly granulated], certainly good enough as a sweetener

Confused and frustrated!
I developed acute onset pain and swelling in multiple symmetrical joints last May, and was referred urgently to rheumatology by my GP because my ESR was still high dispite two weeks of high dose oral steroids for an asthma flare. Initially the rheumatologist was helpful, and thought I was probably developing

The risks of Protein Pump Inhibitors...
I've been Googling PPIs because yesterday I was prescribed them along with my NSAIDs for the first time. My usual GP is reluctant to prescribe them, despite them being commonly recommended, so I thought I'd try to find out more. It turns out there is evidence that long-term use of PPIs may be associated

Continuing saga
Hi! I wrote on here a few months back asking advice on finding someone to look outside the box after being treated for 5 years for sero neg RA and was no further on. Got a lot of interesting feedback from people on here, thank you, so thought I'd update you and ask your opinion on a couple of other things

hypochondria- freaking out
hi everyone, I am currently freaking out. Let me tell you why. So I poked myself with this metal thing about 4 days ago. I went to the doctor and had to get a tetanus shot (just to be safe) even though I'm terrified of needles. I got the needle (2 days ago) and my arm has been sore since (i know its

Viral meningitis
Hi My son who is in his mid 50s was first diagnosed with Viral meningitis 10 years ago. Since that time he has had 8-10 relapses and is currently back in hospital. The best help has been with a virologist in the hospital who suggested infusions (aclovir?) through a lead in his arm-3x a day for 10 days

Lyme disease
Wow this has been quite the experience. So I just found out from an early blood test in July 2015 that i had several reactive bands from a Lyme IgM and Igg western blot, but never tested definitively positive for Lyme according to the U.S. standards. I am now taking doxycycline for 3 days (400mg/day)

Chicken pox
Is it true that being near a child with chicken pox can have a serious affect on someone with pmr. I remember my gp saying something about it when I was first diagnosed almost two years ago. I'm only asking because my sister brought her granddaughter for a visit last week and the little one kept saying
