Another consultant cancellation
My husband was due to speak to the upper GI consultant next week.It has been cancelled again 3rd time. He has been waiting 12 months now for this appointment. I am so angry. I am going to ring the Secretary tomorrow to ask if they can please reconsider. He is very poorly now. Sleeping mostly, not eating

How to add adrenal support (on NDT)
I think I need to add adrenal support to my NDT but looking for some help on the practicalities and open to ideas about whether this is my problem. Specifically, do I need to stop NDT first? If so, how slowly should I taper off? I'd really like to spend as little time as necessary feeling so hypo!

Getting adequate bone minerals without milk or yogurt
I'm 66 and have osteopenia. I took calcium and Vitamin D for many years because I've always hated milk and yogurt. I have some digestive problems now and can't take calcium. I try to eat green veggies, and I eat cheese, but I worry about my bones. I tried calcium hydroxyapatite but got constipated.

Very confused by blood test results - grateful for help please
Hi All, Further to my previous posts, I continue to be very unwell, with my main symptoms being severe fatigue and disabling cognitive symptoms. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I do also have a diagnosis of CFS/ME (for what that is worth) which has fluctuated in severity for the last 22 years

Heart-healthy foods.
New study [1]. It's well-known that men with PCa have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Even before ADT. Mark Moyad coined the phrase "heart-healthy is prostate healthy" and I think he is correct. The American "food pyramid" is a disaster imo, with grains at the bottom & fats at the

On Thyroxine - 8 weeks bloods shows TSH has dropped but still feel dreadful.
Hi all I’m on daily 50mg Levothyroxine for 8 weeks after private bloods showed the following; TSH 6.51 (R 0.27-4.2) T3 4.1 (R 3.1-6.8) T4 14.6 (R 12-22) High antibodies so likely Hashimotos. GP was reluctant to prescribe me, but did at the advice of an Endocrinologist. For reference I am 5ft

Next steps/where to get active b12 test?
Quick background: B12 deficiency (152) in 2017, negative IFAB, received 2x 3 monthly injections then taken off them. Investigating various symptoms now, recent bloods show drop in B12 from December 2022 (455) to now (206). Doctor saying I just need to take a multivitamin with B12 in, but I am not convinced

Besremi Update 15 Months
Hi Community! I titrated my Besremi to 180 from 150 over the last three doses (a bit of a story there for another time). I assumed I'd need a phlebotomy as I hadn't had a CBC for 7 weeks and my Hematocrit was already 40 but it went down 2 points! Almost never happens without phlebotomy. Everything

Help with Folate
I am now having B12 injections. I ordered Folate that SlowDragon said. It says do not take with anti epileptic tablets, which I take for neuropathy. I also need a B complex and Ferritin. I also take Zopiclone (sleeping tablet), Diazepam (Valium) and I think these supplements interact with these drugs

Don't know What's happening to me!!
Doc recommended 2 x Amytryptyline in Feb., after it was discovered I had 2 x damaged discs in my lower back. Referred me to Physio, (appt. on 22nd!)I was OK for a couple of months, then started to feel dizzy, lost my appetite and taste, everything tastes sweet!, even a roast dinner. Went to see ACP
