An ironic observation by the first synthesiser of thyroxine
Have been looking through some very old papers about thyroid and found one co-authored by Charles Harington, who was very much to the fore in efficient isolation of thyroxine from animal thyroid, and co-inventor of a method of synthesising thyroxine. The irony from today's perspective lies in this paragraph

LVA Surgery - Unsuccessful...?
I have primary lymphedema in my right leg. It first presented itself 3 years ago in my late twenties. I'm in good physical shape, get lots of exercise, eat a healthy, low sodium diet, wear compression garments, and use a Flexitouch pump. As uncomfortable as my lymphedema is, I am able to manage it by

Please help me understand my results - will this TSH level affect my fertility?
Hello all. I have been on Thyreogland - an NDT comprised of 100mcg t4 and 25mcg t3, for the last 2 years. Recently, the dosage I normally take was not in stock! So I have been taking 125mcg t4 and respectively more t3 (I don't know the exact amount), I realise this was a bit stupid given that I felt

BP is well down, but an increase in sodium drives it right back up. What to do?
Hello. Through weight loss/exercise/no caffeine/low sodium/medication (Lisinopril-HCTZ 20-25mg), my blood pressure has dropped from about 190/110 to about 100/65. Cutting back on my sodium intake has made a profound difference. I am a 55 year old male, I exercise daily and I hydrate well. Last weekend

phosphorous ?
I have been diagnosed stage 2 CKD : potassium and sodium fine, but phosphorous raised, so my GP sent me for a liver scan , which the radiographer said he could see nothing on it to be worried about, but I am wondering why my doctor sent me for a liver scan and not a kidney one ? I haven't been

NASH and how bad is this FibroScan? Guess my life just changed.
I found out about NASH after a year of chasing pain in my side, and generally feeling not normal at times. GP thought it was Pulmonary which was wrong by a mile. I am 53 active guy (Hockey, Hiking, Kayak, Ski) who has been over weight 255lbs with a BMI from 30-36 since my mid 20's. GP mentioned slightly

What is your preferred remedy for constipation? 🤔 🤔 🤔
I have suffered with the dreaded constipation almost all my life. I am currently prescribed Docusate Sodium capsules. Unfortunately they are not working any longer. I am suffering and don't know what to try next. I am on iron tablets, which I've been told do tend to make one a lil constipated anyway.

Alcoholic liver cirrhosis and kidney failure
Hi, I am new to this site. My husband (age 42) was admitted to the hospital in February, as his blood results showed a very high bilirubin count and high CRP. He was yellow and also he had a distended abdomen. However, a day later he was back at home with some antibiotics and laxatives. Since discharge

How little sodium/day is too low?
I am in the process of getting into shape -- primarily to lower my blood pressure. I am eating very carefully. I am consuming far less sodium than I used to, and I am walking 8-9 miles/every 24 hour period. I decided to tally up my actual sodium intake/day. It ranges from 278 mg/day to 638 mg/day, presuming

DBS for Parkinsons
Need a little info on the DBS surgery for Parkinson’s. Doc says our daughter has reached the limit for the Sinemet dosage and is beginning g to show signs of needing more help. The only thing left is DBS. She’s not worried about the actual surgery but the cost since her insurance won’t cover very much
