New Test Results - With A Question
I just got back my results from my latest urine and renal blood test. I was very happy to see that my creatinine level had dropped from .96 to .87! My BUN is 11. My potassium, calcium, sodium and phosphorus are all within normal limits. However, on 24-hour urine my urine creatinine clearance is low

Thyroxine and treatment of hypothyroidism: seven decades of experience
Why do we have such difficulty in finding endocrinologists who seem to understand? The abstract below seems to explain that wonderfully well. Because there are so many comments to be made, I shall depart from my usual approach and will use footnotes. I couldn't help but hear words such as "smug", "

Fluctuating GFR
Hello, it's been a while since I have been here but I have a question. My GFR about 6 months ago was 52 and my a1c was 8.7. Three months later after I went on a very strict diet my GFR was 74 and my a1c was down to 6.7. Now 2 weeks ago my GFR went back down to 66 but my a1c went down to 6.4. All of these

Cortisol results - help needed please
Hi guys, I was hoping for some help interpreting my cortisol test results. Looking at the results it looks like my adrenals are normalising? Recent bloods also showed sodium, potassium, and magnesium levels are in the high or normal range, so it looks like no more mineral dumping is going on, and I

Cortisol results – help needed please
Hi guys, Advice needed please regarding my cortisol results and related changes to adrenal symptoms. I took the test after stopping Adrenavive and prednisone for over 2 weeks, so this is a true reflection of my levels without medication. Hopefully, you will agree with my actions to phase out prednisone

Update and ideas!
I thought I’d update you on my Weekly Taxol treatment and ask for some ideas to shift a problem I have! This may be long, please bear with! I’m about to have my 9th treatment, which means I’m halfway through. Overall, this regime has suited me well, apart from a couple of emotional wobbles as I got

Help with Sodium Pico sulphate and movicol to help with soiling
I’m looking for some help. My daughter (will be 5 in September)followed a disimpaction regime about 6/7 weeks ago. This was her first disimpaction. It worked well and has lessened her soiling greatly but we are now in a cycle of 5/6 days with no accidents and then about 4 days running of constant accidents

How I reduced my Parkinson’s meds by 50% and beat my addiction to dopamine
Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Within a year I was taking the standard medication associated with the disease, dopamine in its various forms (levodopa/carbadopa, aka. Sinemet). Like most sufferers of PD, my need for Sinemet, grew and grew until I was taking 200 mg every

ORS Hydration Tablets and cirrhosis
Evening all. Feeling a little dehydrated I’ve used ORS Hydration Tablets. However I’ve just seen in big bold letters DO NOT USE if you have problems with liver or kidney. It’s done now so hopefully I’ve not done any more damage but I assume the risk is high sodium to aid the fizz? So need education

Abject fatigue
I am curious if anyone has a cheery solution for abject fatigue. I’m finding it to be a potential terminal issue. I don’t see a way out. The more I try to exercise the worse it gets. I’m currently on Rytary, klonazapam-dose hasn’t changed in 4 years- and levothyroxine. About a year ago started

Extreme fatigue
Hi I may have questioned this before at an earlier time but it is still a big concern. My partner has post ET myelofibrosis. (ET for 5 years, diagnosed with myelofibrosis in April this year) He was taking hydroxycarbamide (not sure if I have spelt this right) for his ET and was started on Rux for

TBG, Reverse T3 & SHBG Issues - What Does This Mean?
Greetings and happy July all. I have Hashi's confirmed by ultrasound and blood antibodies. I am not being treated as my family doctor and encrinologist say my blood work does not justify it. I have every symptom of hypo, I mean every symptom, and I also believe I have fatigued adrenals big time. But,

I’m new here
Hello, I was diagnosed in 2011, at age 39. I was able to manage my symptoms quite well until about 18 months ago using only an agonist. I started on Sinemet at the beginning of last year, but within 6 months had increased from 3 tablets a day to 9 and started experiencing wear-off in about 2 hours.

Omeprazole and Imodium... Thoughts?
I’ve recently been prescribed 40mg Omeprazole (20mg to be taken twice a day) after experiencing difficulty swallowing. I felt great for 4 days then started to experience difficulties again (for the subsequent 4 days) although not with every meal. At times I’m having to cough my food forward due to fear
