Vit D.
Quick question. How long does it take for Vit D to hit your system, any ideas? My Dr suggested I double my dose as it’s a bit on the low side so I’m taking 4000iu with Vit K 2 MK-7. I’ve done this for a week and I’ve just noticed my muscles aren’t aching so much and I’ve got a little more energy.

Medichecks results following last post.
Good morning everyone - following my last post when I was suffering a backslide from my previous post when I was feeling so much better - you recommended me to get a full private test - initially to get a T3 reading, but as I was unsure of my Folate /Vit D etc I went for the full Advanced Thyroid test

Adcal thoughts please
I just wondered what the experts thoughts are on taking Adcal when you don’t have thyroid problems? My 80 year old mother broke her hip 3 years ago, had a Dexa scan which was fine, although was subsequently told they’re pointless for someone of her age. I’ve got her on higher dose vitamin D and K2

Vitamin D test
I have been taking Vitamin D+K2 for a few months now, while in Tesco today I noticed a at home vitamin D test so I brought one. I have just done the test and it showed only 1 line which says vitamin D levels are excessive and I should contact my doctor, how reliable are these at home finger price tests

How do my results look?
I posted a few weeks ago about some numbers I had and I've since had other tests, so I am just wondering what the forum think.

Dexa scan results meaning
Hi Everyone I have finally managed to get a copy of the results of the above which I had done early March. I asked for the scan because I was automatically put on Alendronic acid at the same time as Pred although I had no likelyhood of osteoporosis. It wasn’t until I joined this site I realised the

Subclinical Hypo but symptoms have returned - advice please
Hi, I’m just looking for advice on how to approach the GP (it’s a teaching practice so Drs are never the same). There is a family history of thyroid problems (hypothyroidism with an immediate blood relative) and numerous other autoimmune diseases. I started experiencing non-specific symptoms (

The 'Brain Energy Gap' and its possible implication on the progress of PD.
Has anyone else seen the work of Professor Stephen Cunnane on the 'brain energy gap' and its implications for PD, Alzheimers and cognitive impairment? I've put a link to one of his talks below, but to summarise: - Cognitive impairment and brain health in PD, Alzheimers, is due in part to an 'brain

What’s at the root of this awful anxiety?
I am experiencing intense anxiety, alongside insomnia. Last year, after a few months on T3, I eventually felt really well: best I’d felt for many years. Earlier this year the T3 was changed from Morningside tablets to Roma capsules. Slowly I went downhill. After a couple of months I had the T3 tablets

Vitamin D Levels
I just wanted to thank all those people who recommended using the NHS facility for checking vitamin D. https://www.vitamindtest.org.uk - costs £31 - DIY kit and just pop into the post! I got mine done last week and my results are just in and I am pleased that all looks okay. I have been supplementing

3 grains of Armour Thyroid - a very high dose?
Hi everyone, I posted recently as I was a bit confused by my results - suppressed TSH but both T3 and T4 at bottom of range. Since then my endocrinologist has increased my dose from 2.5 grains to 3 grains, but said he won't be able to increase any further as this is a high dose for my size and weight

I am very rude, found my posts and upon checking haven't responded to peeps Pennyannie and SeasideSusie
so found a post about 8 months old, as always lots of good advice pointers but then for some reason I never responded. I will try to rectify this Pennyannie asked if I got round to buying T3, worked out my conversion rate as 5.53 / 5.69 . Asked why I had Thyroidectomy , never given a definitive
