Update- I no longer take Dipyridamole
I have been meaning to update the group on this. I have stopped taking Dipyridamole for over a month now, closer to two months. I took Dipyridamole for two years. I was nearing the end of my Dipyridamole supply. I was wondering how much it was helping. So I stopped abruptly. Since then I have

Not sure what's wrong.
Hi, I wasn't sure as to which community to post in but here goes. I am a 52 year old male. About 6 months ago I became unwell due to a virus of some sort. It’s likely I had COVID but I never tested positive for it. Ever since I’ve just not been right and most days I have a lack of energy and usually

Prescribed levothyroxine at last!
After a long struggle, you know how it goes... I have finally been offered a trial of levothyroxine by a GP. My Medichecks results in 2020 were ignored by my GP (serum TSH 6 range 0.7-4.2) plus presence of large amount of antibodies. NHS ones kept coming back 'normal'. A different GP agreed to

After Radioactive iodine treatment, what do I put on travel insurance docs?

incorrect dose of prednisolone?
Just less than a month ago, I reduced my first prednisolone dose from 15mg to 12.5mg. This was after a blood test. I wasn’t keen to reduce by more than ten percent, especially as I was going to be travelling a long way and be away for Xmas and new year, then home for two days and away again for eight

New to all this!
Hi. I am new to this and feel overwhelmed by it all. I've just been in A&E and have now added yet another condition to the already long list I have. Due to autoimmune hypothyroidism I have had lots of problems with my health and have struggled with finding the right solutions. Now on more Bisoporol
