A refreshed journey
I am not sure if I should treat these posts like a journal blog where I just write my thoughts and feelings, or like a forum post where I'd get a response to- but I will just write. Be prepared for a lengthy post. I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer back in 2012. I was just under 150 lbs and looked

Hashimoto’s or Graves’ symptoms or…? Help to clarify please.
Hi everybody! I’m new here. Would be very grateful for your advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 17 years ago. It was in different country not in the UK. I have never been on medication as I was told if my T4 level is ok I don’t need any pills. I’m now in UK for about 5 years. I’ve never seen endocrinologist

Gluten or dairy free?
Hi everyone. I have posted previously about raised antibodies (Anti-TG 347 range <115, and Anti-TPO 53.6 range <34) Now having got my head around this, I can considering a gluten free diet to try to reduce the inflammation. My thyroid appears to be working normally - most recent results with a 9am

Low-carb diet
Here's something that says that a low-carb diet may be helpful for IBS: https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/05/30/g-s1-372/ibs-treatment-diet-low-fodmap-carb I've been following one for other reasons, and it seems to be working pretty well for me. Anybody else ever given it a try?

Ezetemibe side affects
Hi all. Has anyone been on Ezetemibe for cholesterol? I've been on it for 3 weeks and I'm feeling dreadful. Very low mood on verge of tears all the time. My chest aches as do my shoulders and one foot. I can't take statins so they're trying me on this. My cholesterol was 6 total and it's come down to

Anyone out there try the carnivore diet.
I have been on a low carb diet since my diagnosis back in March of 2023 . Eligard and Erleada have got my PSA down from 195 down to 0.01. I have been watching a lot of YouTube video's touting the health benefits of a carnivore diet. So far the only prostate diet person posting video's on YouTube that

Low carbs
Im 2 years in on my PMR journey with a really bad flare last July. Which took me back to the beginning. After reading on here about eating a low carb diet. I got out my 800 fast keto book and started cooking from it. Where I don’t stick to 800 I do try to be no more than 1,200 calories. And no more

A few developments - anybody got similar
Don’t want to bore you all but I have had a couple of developments recently apart from having my Rituximab extended for another year. Firstly I am on statins since last Thursday, I am fit, I get out, eat a low carb/high fibre diet but my cholesterol is around 7 so it just shows you. No after effects

T3 trial continues
Hi there - here are my latest bloods - done fasting with no meds and before 9am - last dose of levo 24 hours before - last dose T3 12 hours before I've worked hard at improving vitamins and minerals - still ferritin is a bit low but currently on a dose of iron tabs from GP so may improve by the end

W3R1 - lead leg running
Oomph, this was hard. I couldn't breathe, my legs were from lead, the wind somehow was always in my fave and not the back, and it started raining at the end of the run. At least my dog was obedient and she was happy to run with me :)I googled reasons for lead leg running feeling, and I don't expect any

Which is more damaging, high triglycerides or high blood glucose?
I have both conditions and have been given a different diet for each. I think it’s going to be impossible to live without fats AND carbohydrates. Which do you think would be the lesser of two evils? I’m currently on a low carb high fat diet.

Pred reduction and feelings of low blood sugar
'Morning everyone! I am using DL's slow taper and have reduced to the dose which has caused flares in the past - between 5mg and 7mg.

levothyroxine
Diagnosed eight weeks ago underactive thyroid even though I had no symptoms. 25mg given and 12 days later reduced to 12.5 as I was so ill. 4 weeks later I was bedridden, severe headaches and unable to urinate so took myself off them as Surgery would not respond. Informed Surgery what I had done they

gluten free
I kept reading about gluten free diets helping people on levothyroxine but never stuck to it properly for more than a few days, until now. I have been, to my knowledge, entirely gluten free for 2 full weeks and I just wanted to come here and say that I feel much better ! I have been going to the toilet

Benefits of low carb and heart-health
I know this is a controversial topic, but would like to put it out there anyway and get some views. There is a massive debate about fat vs carb and its merits on health in general. Any personal anecdotes or research that points to following a low carb diet for healthy heart health? What do cardiologists
