Well at least that’s one less thing to worry about.
I’m so pleased to learn that my recent dexa scan after seven years of prednisolone is normal and unchanged from three years ago. Not being a pill popper before diagnosis I have struggled to take the calcium and Vit D supplement and Alendronic Acid which were prescribed as routine by my GP. A dexa scan

High IronLow Ferritin
Hi, after my last results 2 months ago my ferritin level has dropped further regardless of the B12 suplaments (was told they are supposed to aid in converting iron to ferritin) however they have been no use. My ferritin has dropped further. Any recommendations on tests or suplaments? I live in Cyprus

Looking back on my thyroid journey, a success story and motivation to keep on fighting :)

Hi, I posted earlier about Tirosint in Gel capsules possibly giving me a rash. I stopped taking them 4 weeks ago and the rash continues. Not as bad but still all down my legs and arms. My question. Can it take so long to leave the body? Or am I blaming the wrong thing for my rash? Blood tests were

Statins
I had 2 HA in 2021. I have been on the usual medication since. I ended up with severe EF and now have an ICD. Recent blood tests have shown I have a lowered blood platelet. I am booked in with my GP on 15//2 but am concerned what is causing this. I have read it could be Statins. Is there anyone out there

Healing slowed due to lack of sun energy.
I am still healing but it is slower and I need more sleep to heal. It became definitive when there was stronger February sun and there happened to be fewer clouds. I got "good sun" and needed a lot of sleep. The sun is doing its part it is the peskey clouds fault. 🙂 I do take 1000 IU of D3, 3 IU of
