Another Medichecks set of results for your expertise please as my brain fog can't make sense of them.
My TSH results through my GP swing from 0.03 mu/L to 8 mu/L over the years and back. In November 21 result was 0.0 mu/L and I was on 150/125 Levothyroxine alternate days. GP decided I should reduce dosage and put me down to 125 mg and retested in January when it came back as 0.1 mu/L so reduced me again

Low Carb on Prednisone for weight loss
Hi all, I hope this isn't a daft question. I've put on just over 1st while taking prednisone, luckily I'm now down to 3mg and doing OK. I understand the best way to lose the weight is by cutting my carb intake. Obviously, starting with processed cakes, biscuits, chocolate etc. But where I'm getting

B12 and brain fog?
I don't post very often as it has seemed up until now that my 1mg, self-administered monthly B12 injection seems to have been enough. My recent health has though taken a nosedive with ridiculous weight gain and increasing brain fog: I'm nearly 20 stone (127kg or 280lbs) now having been a manageable

Brain fog, other symptoms, dosage, B12 deficiency and testing?
I don't post very often as having had the radioiodine treatment for hyperthyroidism, I thought that my position was now permanent and I only needed the annual thyroid function tests my doctor (new this year) takes every year. I may still do. My recent health has though taken a nosedive with ridiculous

Low Carb really works for me
May 3 rd this year was my moment of truth when I knew I had to do something about two years of pred use weight gain. After two weeks of thinking I was low carb, the scale had not changed! Discouraged I sought the forum’s help and was alerted to the existence of carbs in many hidden places. It is true

Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction Type 1 with cirrhosis of the liver
I had an Endoscopic ultrasound on Tuesday where they confirmed I have Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD) Type 1. Last week I was diagnosed with cirrhosis with a score of 22.5. I'm still not sure what this score really means except I'm in the risk category (20-25). A score over 25 is high risk. I'm a

Headache since starting Armour - should I stop taking it?
I have started taking 1 grain of Armour ndt after being on 100 mcg of Levothyroxine. Since starting 10 days ago I have had a headache every day. I have taken Armour before with no headaches that I can remember but changed to Naturethroid when Armour became too expensive. When that was found to be sub-potent

Good news - I am done with PMR!

Full Cream Milk
Oh I love it! I have decided and ordered a tin of it to add to my low fat diet in which I have recently lost 2 lbs. My decision is not based on emotions. In fact one of our Holy Imams (a.s) advised a man to drink 'milk' for weakness which I am experiencing while dieting and exercising and once in a week

Medical Issues & RLS/PLMD
Hi all. I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac Disease (CD) and now wonder how much of my RLS/PLMD could be the result of an iron and/or other nutritional deficiency. My ferritin level is 160 so, a gluten-free diet may not help me re: RLS but, thought others should know that there is an established

Has anyone cracked the code? How to loose weight??
Still trying to get things under control.. But how DO we loose weight as Hypothyroid? - Should we stay away from certain types of exercise? (Cardio, weights, HIIT, walking, etc?) - Many said Keto may not be great… is low carb ok? On Keto I would stay within 30-40g of carbs a day which is more low carb

Gastritis and Iron tablets
Following a recent blood test where the following levels were reported-iron 10 umol; ferritin 18ugl; tsr 15.3%; my GP wasn’t keen on giving me iron tablets said they could be “nasty” but didn’t explain the impact they could have on my atrophic gastritis !I am struggling to keep pain free from the latter

Gallstone Attack
Do other P.A./B12D sufferers have gallstone problems? I have had them many years ago, but yesterday brought a whole new meaning to the word pain! After several excruciating hours I eventually fell asleep exhausted. Have felt weak and pathetic all day. I have braved half a banana and peppermint tea,

Test results
Hi everyone, I'm new to this whole Forum things so I thought I would just start anew thread for anybody who is interested in what my ultrasound test came out to be. I'm a little nervous about them. Keep in mind I do not drink. I have never been a drinker. So this is not because of any kind of alcohol

Low carb, high fat diet
When I was first diagnosed I decided I wanted to watch my weight. I had put on weight over the years and was 12 stone. I had read about reducing carbohydrates. A few months after my PMR diagnosis I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I read all I could and changed my diet to a low carb, high fat diet
