Does sore throat come with hypothyroidism and Hashi?
Hi All, I've had hypo for over 2 decades and manage it with thyroxine, diet, supplements and lifestyle. Never had any long-term sore throat issues, however it all started this February, when I went through a lot of stress, my thyroid went out of balance and I was struggling with increasing my meds

Initially told it was long covid but then

PMR & Stage II Polycystic Kidneys
PCP determined PMR based on my “tinman stiffness” and bloodwork showing crazy inflammation levels in late January, and started me on 20 mg of prednisone. An ultrasound and xray turned up polycystic kidneys with a too-large to pass stones. I’ve tapered to 15 mg of prednisone at this point, and am wondering

Feeling woefully undermedicated……
Hi everyone, A friendly nurse practitioner agreed to run some blood tests for me this week. I remain undiagnosed. I’ve been using Metavive since January and have been trying to switch over to Thyroid S for a couple of months. I’m finding it very difficult to increase my dose (unpleasant side effects

1st appointment after finding out you are pregnant
I found out that I am pregnant just a week ago and based on the NHS calculator, I am 6 weeks today. I have referred myself to Northwick Park Maternity but have no idea when I will get my first appointment. This is my first pregnancy so I have a few concerns: 1. Should I be taking specific vitamins

should you take supplements at the same time as the Pred dose?
I recently read not to take calcium supplements at the same time as my morning pred dose, are there any other wisdoms about taking Vit D, potassium etc at the same time as pred ? or is it better to not take anything else at the same time? thanks

Is this right or should I request a second opinion?
Been suffering fatigue on another level, weight gain, brain fog etc etc so ordered private bloods for fatigue through medicheck. Results came back as low iron, low Vit D and low T4. THS was normal. Doctors notes was possibly hypothyroid but seek GP advice. Doctor wanted to wait for iron supplements

Back again!
Hi everyone. I was an avid poster here many years ago (where has the time gone?). I did lose 6 stone in a year and was feeling fab at 40. Now I am 44 and put 5 stone back on over the past 4 years! My body seems hugely resistant to losing weight. I think its fed up! I try all the "tricks" that worked

Blood Test Result
After being on ADT for two weeks, my blood test shows my Testosterone to be 109 (low). I guess this is the goal of ADT, to lower my Testosterone. However, in the same test result, the following was flagged as either low or high. Can my ADT attributed to the issues flagged by the test result? RBC

Vaccine and Prolonged Diarrhea
I had the bivalent Covid vaccine on 27 December (my fifth vaccine). I had noticed in the last couple of years that about two weeks after each vaccine, my bowels acted up a bit but they subsided after taking Normix. But ever since 10 January, which was two weeks after this bivalent vaccine,
