Falling asleep troubles getting me down
I’ve come along way but this is getting me down. I cannot sleep before 12, often 1am, Wednesday was after 3am. I’ve taken sleeping tablets for a few years (low dose Amitriptyline) and gawd that helped massively resulting in a good 7hours sleep from midnight. I’m titrating NDT Armour and in January

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting

DI02 Gene test
As if I hadn’t spent sufficient thousands on trying to find the answers I went and did a DI02 test to see whether I had difficulty in converting T4 to T3. Primarily to present my findings to the endo in the hope I may get Liothyronine on the NHS. The result came back saying the TT genotype appears

Anyone been prescribed T3 by endo in Leeds? I need to advise my son's partner. Please send a pm (chat) to me.
Good morning, can I pick your brains? My son's partner has Hashimoto's and still has symptoms despite normal blood test results and I'm urging her to request a referral to an endocrinologist for a trial of T3. She is new to hypothyroidism and her fT4 and fT3 results indicate she is a poor converter,

Is there a study using 100mcg of T3?
Hello everyone. Is there a study in which a group treated with t3 monotherapy receives at least 100mcg of liothyronine? I want to convince my doctor to increase my dose, and I noticed that he is only interested in studies. He thinks that even 60 mcg was a super high dose and he hardly wanted to give

Help Please!
Things just keep going from bad to worse with me. So sorry for the long post but I really need some help because I don't know what's going on I really don't and I don't know how to try and balance things anymore, it's all beyond me now. Near end April this year I did a full panel, rather than link

Questions about rise in HbA1c
Hi, I started on prednisolone 20mgs on 26th January this year for 4 weeks, tapering 1mg every two weeks, currently on 16mgs (10 mgs am, 6mgs pm). HbA1c last August was 5.5% , result last week was 6% (42.0 mol/mol). My diet has been much the same throughout although I’ve been trying to reduce carbs further

long term omeprazole use
I was taking omeprazole for about 15 years and stopped in December last year, as I had done some research and found out it can affect stomach acid. No one told me to stop taking it. I don’t even know why I was put on it in the first place, up I think it was for IBS. I haven’t had any acid reflux or indigestion

Generic Teriflunomide
Hi, I’ve been taking Aubagio for almost 6 years now and had been very pleased with the medication. No new plaques or lesions issues were found on my MRIs and I hadn’t noticed any side effects which were caused by the medication. Taking Aubagio was a great improvement over Avonex for me as I had pretty

medichecks results different from GP
I did a home test back in. March in order to get some information other than the GP test who wanted to reduce my Levo and put me on Statins. I take 100mcg daily and feel well on this dosage, when I was on 75mcg, I felt lethargic and not myself. The new results are CRP HS. 1.510 mg/L. (Range < 3
