Constantly overheated
I’ve had hypothyroidism for over 10 years and first few years struggled to get my meds correct in terms of ‘ how I feel’ (unbelievably sluggish and tired) which has meant fighting my Gp to allow TSH to be on low side (0.03). As I’m in UK they won’t test T3 levels only TSH and sometimes T4 (which last

Very belated intro
I've had rls since I was in my teens. I'm now 66 years old. About 6-7 years ago, I was finally diagnosed with RLS, and given a medication that I can't recall the exact name of, but it was something like lebadopa carbadopa?? Anyway, that worked very well for me at first, but after a few months it would

Hi Guys, New to this forum but have 7 years tackling & experimenting with nutrition for Hashimotos. With a keen background in nutrition I was determined to address it with this and avoid any thyroid drug interaction if possible. My antibodies were as high as 3500 at worst and are now 528 and dropping

Mortar and Pestle time - Ginkgo dose regime
Taking Ginkgo daily has proved to be a disappointment. No benefit achieved. I'm going back to my tried and tested dosing with Ginkgo. How: crushed tablet, for absorbing via the mouth How much: Day 1 - 3 x 30mg Ginkgo spread over (with crushed tablets that is 62mg in weight. 30mg Ginkgo and 32mg binding

Mortar and Pestle time - Ginkgo update
I was startled to wake up the other day and my mild tinnitus wasn't there. In the eleven months since I've had it, that hasn't happened before. I was left 'feeling alone' if you can imagine that. A brief recap. I've had limited success with Ginkgo and when the lower dose tablet became unavailable I

Brain Fog help beyond Ginko Biloba
Hello - So 10 years before I got into HT I used ginko because it seemed to keep me a bit sharper and I think it has helped a bit over this past year on HT, but I do feel the fog coming up a bit. Does anyone else have success with another supplement?

Elevated ALT level.
Hi,I am 41 yrs old and for the first time ever I have raised ALT levels. Nornal range 5 to 55 u/l. Mine was 88. Is this classed as high or moderate or mild? The only thing I have changed in the last 9 months, last test was then and was fine, I put myself on a high protein, low calorie diet, so I was

Mortar and Pestle time - An observation
In my kitchen yesterday. I measured out the crushed tablet. 62mg, which comprises 30mg Ginkgo and 32mg binding agent. I had been tipping the tiny bits into a glass of water and swallowing. 3 of this on dose day. Instead, I chewed those tiny bits. I am now accustomed to a slight rise in tinnitus intensity

Advice
Hi All, I have hearing loss in both ears and have tinnitus all the time. This is a difficult challenge for us all. The doctors just put you on betahistine or amitriptyline or alprazolam or any anti depressants they say it helps reduce tinnitus or improve blood flow to inner ear. This is the same

It's mortar and pestle time - Ginkgo update
Holland & Barrett have discontinued 30mg Ginkgo tablets, leaving 60mg and 120mg on the shelf. No more convenience for a 3 x 30mg dose. I tried a 120 but the increase in tinnitus which happens for me on dose day was uncomfortable so I won't be doing that again. It looks like more is not necessarily better

how soon after stopping prog/estro did you get period?
Found out today that our first fet failed. I already took my progesterone shot and morning estrace today but will not take it tomorrow. Wondering, if you've had a fet that didn't work, when did you get your period after stopping progesterone and estrogen?

what supplements do you take for your glaucoma?
just thought a thread on this might be useful. I was taking vitamin b3 3000mg per day, and noticed improvement until I ended up in hospital. Ginkgo bilboa is another I’ve heard to be beneficial.

Ginkgo - possible adverse side effect: Nervous anxiety
It's me again. On about Ginkgo as usual... Having taken Ginkgo for over 6 months, and having planned relief from Tinnitus by doing so, I may have experienced a side effect. Recent bouts of nervous anxiety. This is not the kind of anxiety you might experience in a dentist waiting room. No, this is

Back to life thanks to this forum! GP Next steps though - further levo increase?
You've been so helpful. Your collective knowledge has led to a diagnosis of (ords) hashimotos, my levo being upped to 75mg and I'm pain free for the first time in 5 YEARS! Thank you. I feel alive again. I armed myself with printed NICE guidelines and facts/ research and GP didn't resist this time and

Gingko Biloba - Supplement Advice
Hello everyone, I'm reaching out for advice on using Ginkgo Biloba to combat brain fog. My previous experience with the Amitamin Ginkgo complex yielded promising results in boosting mental clarity. However, I've noticed it contains iodine (150ug), which I'd rather steer clear of. With that in mind

Facing thyroid surgery?
Have you been told that you're hyperthyroid, and / or been told that you need to have your thyroid removed – but you're not convinced because your symptoms don't seem to match the diagnosis? That's exactly where I was nine years ago – and I want to urge you to follow your instincts ! To put it simply

apixiban and tumeric
I stopped taking tumeric and related supplements when I started taking apixiban on advice of Anti-Coagulation clinic. As a result of stopping tumeric, i got really bad joint pains over past four years. Is there really a possibility that I can actually take tumeric while taking apixiban? I do
