I’m due to start levothyroxine today and I want to optimise its effects by supplementing. I’m having monthly injections of Vit D and B12. I cannot take B12 orally as it causes nausea. Anybody know a good B supplement without B12? Also I eat a lot of foods containing B12 so hopefully that and a monthly

I'm lost - no idea what I should do
I'm afraid this is going to be a long post. I have reached Liothyronine dose 60 mcg daily = 20 mcg x 3 daily. I have been on Teva because excipients in other brands caused me problems. I have a lot of other problems to consider. I have been trying to get a shoulder replacement operation for over 3

Dr Tim Spector says we are “mugs” buying supplements
At the Hay Festival, Tim Spector gave a talk on supplements and says that 99% have no effect at all. He did say B12 for vegans and vit D were OK, but the rest should be got from our food. He said “manufacturers of supplements are going to be the new future junk food companies – their budgets are massive

5k or fartlek? 5k fartlek!
I’m sort of back on the Nike Half Marathon plan ready for the Great North Run in September. I say sort of because I’m not sure if the long run increases will work for my knee. I’m focusing on doing the other runs and letting the distance evolve. Two runs left from week 1. 5k or fartlek? I thought

Gluten/Dairy restriction, can it really affect your blood results in a short time?
Hi, I have posted here before about levels/symptoms. But I wanted to ask about elimination diets, particularly gluten and dairy and if it makes significant changes to one's blood tests. I did an elimination diet in October, cutting out nightshades, nuts, soy along with dairy and gluten. I reintroduced

Need help finding Diet App for tracking dietary intake
Hi. I have been monitoring my intake but no formal or efficient way to track daily intake: protein, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, sugar, fat, calories, etc.I also track water intake, which is much easier. I've been writing down what I eat, but this is so time consuming. Does anyone know of

19 struggling with ectopics
Hi all, I just wanted to come on here for a bit of advice or just to share what I’ve been struggling with recently, I’ve struggled with ectopic beats for over a year now, and they have been manageable as they have predominantly been quite spread out or predictable, and the only bad episodes happening

Natural T4 vs synthetic T4
All the experts say there two are essentially the same. But is that definitely the case? Some people (my wife for one) can't tolerate synthetic T4. At present she's T3 only. Just wondering if she might be able to tolerate Armour or other NDT, eg. because the natural thyroxine is bound to a transport

Vitamin D
Does anyone have evidence (for a questioning GP) about vitamin D levels? Mine was 172nmol/L and GP says it’s too high. However optimal is stated as 250-350.
