Good morning. I wondered if anyone could comment on my recent results from a Medichecks test. The bloods were taken at 10.00 am and I had fasted beforehand. My diagnosis to date (approx 7/8 years) has been autoimmune thyroiditis with multinodular goitre. I have quite a large swelling in the right

still no luck
I have had no more luck with seeing the drs since I posted my last results. I’m going on holiday soon so will ask to be retested again when I come back. Just wanted a little advice as to vitamins. I take no supplements at the moment and dud but some but then I read I shouldn’t be taking them I think

I've been on these and both caused augmentation and with both was increased to maximum dose yet still had restless legs causing sleepless nights, anxiety and depression.Before I went onto medication I found out I was severely anaemic, I don't know how it happened to me as I was previously fit and healthy

Vitamin D - GP said no longer needed
My 94 year old mother, who never goes out or sees the sun has been told by her GP in an email that "in accordance with local guidelines she no longer needs vitamin D and her prescription is being cancelled" and apparently once you have had a course of vit D you should not need it again! She has been

Not wanting sleep
Does anyone not want to face going to bed because waking up means immediately facing constant bathroom trips? I dread waking up as soon as I’m vertical I need to go to the toilet and after 5 or 6 times and a couple of Imodium I can finally drive to work.

Your best adjunct therapy pick
If you could only continue with just one alternative PD therapy, what would it be? (My rather gauche attempt to pick your brains and not re-invent the wheel.) For me, it's MCT oil. What about you?

prolia and Actemra.
Hi everyone. I recently had an X-ray on my hip as I am having hip pain which causes my leg to give way when I transfer from my wheelchair. I have MS and GCA. The result of the X-ray was Osteoarthritis and “probable demineralization.” So when I saw my rheumatologist today I asked if I should have a DEXA

Hello forum Autoimmune Metaplastic Atrophic Gastritis (AMAG) results in the loss of parietal cells which causes a loss of production of stomach acid and intrinsic factor (IF). The loss of IF results in low B12. My general query is; are there consequences and symptoms connected to a lack of stomach

Travellers Diarrhea
Has anyone ever been abroad before and came back with diarrhea? I actually managed to get through 12 hour flights and 3 weeks in Brazil with only a couple of bad episodes .. thanks to Imodium helping me through. The day we were due to fly my stomach was so bad which was not unusual for me with anxiety

Will lower dose of Nintedanib stop the terrible side effects?
After a long wait, a bronchoscopy and endless CT scans and lung function tests, I finally started on the standard dose of 2 x 150 mg Nintedanib at the end of February. The first few weeks weren’t too bad, my gut was unhappy and I experienced the expected diarrhoea. Took Imodium as advised. But then
