Free T4 high, what to do? Also IR
I am 63, 1m70, 62 kg Free T4 = 21.80 (pmol/L) or 1.69 (ng/dl) is high (ref. value 11.90 - 21.60 OR 0.92 - 1.68 ) TSH 0.431 (mIU/L) (ref. value 0.27 - 4.2) Free T3 = 3.80 (pmol/L) or 2.47 (ng/dl) (ref. value 3.13 - 6.76 OR 2.04 - 4.40) Also rather worrying: HA1c = 6.0 (pointing toward diabetes

Doxycycline - A Warning For Diabetics
A fairly high percentage of hearties are diabetic although generally lifestyle is often a major contributory factor. Anyway recently I was prescribed the antibiotic Doxycycline for the macerated wounds (caused by Co-Vee-ID Toe) on my remaining foot. It turns out that this makes the body's response

An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

Ped5i/Tadalafil etc as a benefit to SE of ADT?
Tadalafil , etc is prescribed for ED, BPH and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is pretty much agreed upon that Tadalafil increases insulin sensitivity thus improving lean body mass, particularly around the gut, improves Testosterone/estrogen relationship and is good for heart and vascular health

Metabolic symptoms at 3am
With increasing frequency, I wake up at about 3am feeling unusually hot, like a hot flash. Lasts about 30 minutes. As it tends to follow a larger than normal evening meal, with some alcohol, I don't think it is hormone related. If this is some kind of transient metabolic phenomenon - is it more likely

Transplant - it finally happened!
Hello,For those of you who have been following my husbands journey.....it finally happened. The operation was thru the night, 1am until 10.40am.

Just saw Endocrinologist; Cutting Back on Insulin
I’m pretty thrilled! Pre-transplant I had controlled my type II diabetes for a little over 15 years without meds. The anti-rejection meds have changed all of that. I’ve been taking 12 units long lasting insulin at bedtime and 1 unit of short acting for every 10 carbs with meals. But I’ve been experiencing

Covid Booster
I live in the Scottish Borders, my husband recently had his Booster (Spring One ) on Wednesday he is over 75. I got the winter one the same time as him. I didn’t get any notification to have one this time. So I called the number on his letter to ask if there had been an oversight as I have cirrhosis

Airport travel with Injections
Can some experienced travellers who use Pegasys give me some advice please. I am travelling this week from the UK to Mexico, and have bought a Disoncare insulin cooler to keep my Pegasys syringes in whilst travelling. I will keep this in my Hand Luggage, but I’m not sure what to do with the needle

Metformin experiences
Hi all, Hoping for some advice/experiences. I have been diagnosed “unexplained” however I do seem to have lots of follicles in my ovaries and although I don’t have any other typical “PCOS” symptoms, my new specialist seems to think as I am so active/fit I have masked the other symptoms and I may be

The 'Brain Energy Gap' and its possible implication on the progress of PD.
Has anyone else seen the work of Professor Stephen Cunnane on the 'brain energy gap' and its implications for PD, Alzheimers and cognitive impairment? I've put a link to one of his talks below, but to summarise: - Cognitive impairment and brain health in PD, Alzheimers, is due in part to an 'brain

Change to diet
Plodding along for years with T2, first metformin but now insulin twice per day. Reasonably good diet, try to avoid added or high sugar, although carbs can be my downfall, mostly active, low alcohol consumption. Blood glucose readings fairly consistent, though slightly above target and keep nudging

Supplement absorption
I posted the other day about being newly diagnosed and I received loads of brilliant support and advice from people on here about supplements and lifestyle changes that can help with PD progression. I haven’t yet managed to do all the recommended reading but I’m working on it. I’m still looking into

PD: the gut, covid, etc.
Good afternoon, I was diagnosed with PD by DatScan 3 weeks ago (age 50). As I'm sure is standard at this stage in my diagnosis, I am trying to navigate my way through the wealth of information out there. I am fluctuating between self-pity, defiant positivity, and utter bewilderment. I’m so very grateful

prebiotic collagen protein
Hi, I have searched the site re the above and most concerns relate to cost and getting collagen from diet rather than paying large sums for a packaged preparation. The main reason i want to take it is the hype regarding bloating, gut healing and digestive issues. It contains collagen peptides
