Hi everyone, I have been taking 150mg of thyroxine for over 10 years. At the beginning of the year, I spoke to my doctor because my fatigue was increasing, I didn't feel like myself, and I was having heavy periods. I thought I was starting to become perimenopausal. The doctor said I was depressed

has anyone ever heard of or tried red light therapy? I’m sure that’s not the proper medical term but that’s what Dr Cooper called it. After the nerve induction test he said both my legs showed nerve weakness and the red light therapy is what he prescribed saying that it might possibly help the RLS.

I have had problems with one eye for 9 months now. Started with gritty feeling, watering eye. Inflammation and baggy eye bags. Then fatty bumps appeared to be coming through above one eye, and one eye ball seems slightly higher than the other, and pushed forward slightly. Then came the double vision

I was diagnosed in November 2020 with stage 4 Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate. I had EBRT and 24 months of ADT which was terminated in October of 2022.

Which I am glad to hear, but frankly I don't feel I'm as well educated as all that 🙄. It could be that

Before my Dx, I had been a very regular blood donor. I am CMV (cytomegalovirus) negative, only about 15% of the population has not been exposed to this.

Hello everyone, Just a general question as to whether any of you find that you need less thyroid hormone in the summer months? I’ve been well on a dose of combination t4/t3 for about 8 months now- having found my sweet spot last October. However over the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing
