More recent bloods & dose increase
After my last post regarding my private blood tests, my Endo increased my levo to 100/125 alternate days. I've just had more blood tests, 6 weeks on through the Endo so no Ft3 and again he says they're in range! I really lost my sh*t and got out my list and explained how I've been feeling since having

Can you take an iron supplement for a short time without gp prescription?
Hi My last Ferritin result was 64 (30-150) I have read that Ferritin better to be at least 80 to help thyroid hormones work. I have lingering fatigue, terrible hair and a couple of other things. I read that the hair thing can also be low ferritin? I'm taking vit d and b complex. There's no way on this

A letter has finally arrived! Trigeminy?!
Well, the ECG was on the 8/9 & the letter was dictated on the 30/9. It was then typed on the 5/10 & has arrived today. Ventricular bigeminy but the letter says trigeminy too?! Which appears to be an electrical issue with my heart? One consultant is more concerned with the electrical side of cardiology

I feel my PBC is getting worse and no one is listening
hi everyone, I haven’t posted in a while as things haven’t been too bad regarding my PBC and I was getting on with life, but these last 6 months have been awful. In the summer my LFTs spiked ALP was 236, itching through the roof, fatigue terrible, mood swings, feeling really low. The spike was caused

ENT diagnoses laryngopharyngeal reflux caused by hypothyroidism
Had a scope up my nose 🤢 at my ENT appointment today. I was there because I have a persistent sore throat and swelling in my clavicle pits, ultrasound showed extensive thyroiditis and cysts. MRI results not back yet. I have a photo of my inflamed larynx! Wanna see? Hopefully sharing this will help

Zoladex?
Hi all, Just seeing who else has been put on zoladex injections whilst waiting for surgery? I have a few close friends who are also endo sufferers and not once have they been offered this drug - just bit confused how consultants can have such different approaches! I am having to take HRT as bounce

Possibility of hip replacement anytime soon ?
My reason for writing this is to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation during the past couple of years and had any offer of a
hip
replacement
( or any other joint replacement ) in the near future . I’ve read all the media stories of elective surgery having to wait for a couple of years .

good news I think…
thank you to everyone who sent reassurance. The Gynaecologist I saw today is convinced my Ca125 results are related to something that isn’t OC. She based this on a past ultrasound that said ovaries normal. She thought possibly my thyroid nodules which are being investigated in parallel. My pains

Timing of meds and supplements?
I wonder if anyone is able to share their optimal timing schedule- I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day for all the different tablets with their exclusion zones! Not to mention fitting coffee into the day! This is what I currently take:

Anyone had IgG food intolerance tested and successfully eliminated the offenders?
I know there's questions regarding the accuracy of IgG food testing but I had the test done out of interest because I've been considering going dairy free and/or gluten free. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in Oct 2012 but actually believe my issues were due to poor T4>T3 conversion. I'm waiting to
