Questions about TSH and advice on results over the past year much appreciated
Hi everybody, I've posted several times lately and I just wanted to ask for advice on thyroid related issues. I had COVID 3 times from June 22 - Jan 23 and was symptomatic each time. I did have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia in 2018 but had been feeling a lot better in 2020 until I got COVID. Above

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping

Nicotine Patch helps immensely.
For the last week, I’ve been wearing a 7mg nicotine patch with amazing results. Almost every night since I’ve slept through the night. My symptoms have improved, I have a much better sense of wellbeing. Nicotine has been known for years for its medicinal properties. Eggplant has the second most nicotine

first orthotics
disappointed. The podiatrist hardly looked at the foot and spent most of the appointment typing then without any measurements or gait test said he’s ordered me a pair that would arrive by post in the fullness of time. I suspect these will be no better than the well known brand I ordered online and

How effective is fenofibrate for itch?
My doctor suggested a few different drugs, like rifampricin, naltrexone, and fenofibrate for my itch. He prescribed fenofibrate as he thinks it works best. Does anyone here take it and if so, has it helped? I'm worried about the warnings it comes with about severe liver damage.

I had a medical crisis, I didn't die, I wonder why
Last summer I had a medical emergency. The odds were it would kill me but I survived with few life threatening consequences. The problems I had are commonly fatal for 80 year old men. There is a message in my experience which I hope to share with you in this article. It is a bit longer than most

COPD and Pneumonia
Hello. My mom has severe COPD and got out of the hospital last week after a 3 week stay for pneumonia. She’s had COPD for 16 years and just went on O2 about a year ago. She’s always done well with the COPD and never had an exacerbation until the pneumonia. I know it can take a very long time for the

Heavy cold
Apologies if this seems quite trivial but I have had a heavy cold for the past 2/3 days which at present is getting worse. Have tested negative for Covid so no concerns about that so I’m just wondering whether to miss my medication tomorrow or whether it won’t make any difference. I take 20mg MTX but
