Hi! I have been hypothyroid for many years, and until recently I never had problems with my thyroid numbers, or with how I felt on the medication. I was taking a compounded T3/T4 for years, but then moved locations, and accessibility plus costs led me to change to NP Thyroid, which also seemed fine.

DBS levadopa challenge. Glad its over, but it does raise a question.
Just left hospital after my levadopa challenge assessment for DBS.Wow, i wasn't prepared for how I'd be after having no meds since 7pm last night. I can honestly say I appreciate my meds so much more now. My normal day starts at 4:30am when i take my Stalevo 125mg. I'm very slow, shakey, and have some

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.

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

Atrial natriuretic peptide
So I went on a bit of an adventure. My last episode, while again still thankfully not as intense as previous episodes, had an interesting twist that I hadn't really noticed before. I had to pee 6 times in the space of an hour. So I went searching on the internet as we do, and I learned about atrial

My experience with CKD
I wrote this in a chat and then realized that maybe sharing my experience with everyone, might help someone. So here's my story. I too, have CKD 3A and I also was given the, "ok you have it, see you next time!", from my GP and even from the first nephrologist I went to. It didn't seem right to

I returned in January '23 to discuss what Endo want to do. Apparently, my choices are RAI or take Carbimazole. The dose was low,

Working full-time with a DBS
DBS Deep Brain Stimulation. 1) Are there any warriors who have received DBS and are still employed full-time? 2) Are there any IT/computers warriors who have received DBS and are still working? Just wondering if that's humanly possible. Thank you for your time.

OFF time but so much more!
I learned so much about our disease through this video. It was about OFF time but through that lens I learned out about the medications prescribed to us. There is a clear description of the different DBS devices available. This guy made my neurologist look like an amateur. https://youtu.be/TunPzh2Lw3U
