Understanding the way forward
I am an 81 year old female. My Thyroid/2nd goitre was removed about 7 years ago. Prescribed Levothyroxine and seemed to recover OK for a while. About 5 years ago experienced tiredness, and a long-standing viral respiratory infection. GP referred me to consultant but usual blood tests etc rated as normal

Watch Out for Vit B12 Deficiency on PPIs & Vit D3
Hi all I had 2 stents in 2020 and as usual was on cocktail of drugs. At present only on 75 mg Apsirin & Ivabradine 5 mg OD along with Omeprozole - PPI 20 mg. Been on PPIs for 3 years as Aspirin doesn't go well with my tummy. Recently started to feel bit nervous, tired, recurrent headaches & unproductive

T4 levels in relation to T3 dose
can anyone tell me - is it normal to have a T4 at the low end of the range once you start taking Liothyronine T3.? I take 125mcg thyroxine and 10mcg Liothyronine 3x a day. My T3 comes back mid range and T4 at the bottom of the range whilst TSH is v v suppressed (0.01). I’m sorry but I will need to get

Advice on taking Naproxine with Pred
As I flagged up last week - was diagnosed with Bursitis on the right hip. X-ray was done and no fractures found which was such a relief. Prescribed Naproxine 250 mg twice a day and paracetamol if pain got over the top. I also take thryroxine 75 mg and 100mg on alternate days and Losartan 25mg. Magnesium

Adrenal crisis or flare ?
Evening all, I've been a casual observer for many months now - my PMR was 'gone' (ie in remission/on holiday/not troubling me) and I had adjusted to Adrenal Insufficiency and a likely permanent dose of Hydrocortisone and Vitamin D. I recovered from a dose of covid about 3 weeks ago. On Saturday

Apologies -Loperamide Liquid Oral solution Discontinued
My post should have said Loperamide Liquid Oral Solution has been discontinued. I have tried taking half of an instant melt Imodium which wasn’t very successful so I will try to get tablets (as opposed to capsules ) and break up! Not sure why the liquid has been discontinued!

Prep for GP appointment update
I hope you can bear with me on this one. Following on from my last post re prep for my GP appointment I was dissapointed with the general way the consultation went (they were new to the GP practice ) Although I didn't expect him to agree to testing my Vit D, Folate, Ferritin I did hope he would agree

Blood results
Hi all, Following on from the very useful help and advice I received on my previous posts, I have some blood results back and am hoping for some advice this time. My B12 came back in the normal range but low and my ferritin came back only just scraping into the normal range (results attached).
