Advice needed on thyroxine management
I am hoping someone can advise me about my thyroxine dose. Here's a little background: In September 2023, I was underweight and having trouble gaining weight and suffering from anxiety. I had been on 75mcg of levothyroxine daily for an underactive thyroid. I had recently developed pins and needles

Emphysema on Lung Health Scan
I have mild emphysema FVC/FEV1 ratio 65% FVC % of normal 119% FEV1% of normal 104% I recently had a lung health check for cancer ( negative ) but there was no mention of emphysema on my letter --- I asked my doctor this morning & he said it probably didn't show up because your lung damage is mild

Defining well controlled asthma

Eye problems following catheter ablation
I am now 10 weeks post catheter ablation.Following the procedure I developed aura migraines daily for around 10 days. The fact sheets explained that this was a possible complication and should rectify itself, which it did and 🤞 I have not had any migraines since. I have now developed a bloodshot patch

Help, need your help
My TSH is .37 so I am low. Do I need to take a higher dose of Synthroid or a lower dose of Synthroid. I can’t remember how that works. My T3 and T4 are within normal ranges.

Genetic Testing for cholesterol and insurance
Hi The only test I have outstanding is a genetic test for familial hypercholeserolmia (high cholesterol) . I was told that insurers shouldn’t ask for genetic testing but looking into it FH is considered to be an illness and diagnostic tests can be disclosed. I know travel insurance companies are funny

GAZYVA & VENCLEXTA…I thought it wasn’t working. Apparently it was, extremely well
Had PET scan yesterday, read the report today. I haven’t spoken to my Doc yet. But according to this report there are no signs of enlarged lymph nodes anywhere. Kind of blows my mind, the main reason I started treatment was because of my abdominal pain (which I still have). I am considered high risk
