Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and T3
I'm raising my thyroid Medication. In the past couple of months I was taking T4 71 mcg/T3 18 mcg. My cortisol level is flat all day based on four point Saliva Test and suffering from adrenal fatigue. I asked my doctor to increase T3 so she prescribed T3 in small doses 3.5 mcg so I can add it and find

Is there a study using 100mcg of T3?
Hello everyone. Is there a study in which a group treated with t3 monotherapy receives at least 100mcg of liothyronine? I want to convince my doctor to increase my dose, and I noticed that he is only interested in studies. He thinks that even 60 mcg was a super high dose and he hardly wanted to give

Questions about rise in HbA1c
Hi, I started on prednisolone 20mgs on 26th January this year for 4 weeks, tapering 1mg every two weeks, currently on 16mgs (10 mgs am, 6mgs pm). HbA1c last August was 5.5% , result last week was 6% (42.0 mol/mol). My diet has been much the same throughout although I’ve been trying to reduce carbs further

long term omeprazole use
I was taking omeprazole for about 15 years and stopped in December last year, as I had done some research and found out it can affect stomach acid. No one told me to stop taking it. I don’t even know why I was put on it in the first place, up I think it was for IBS. I haven’t had any acid reflux or indigestion

Hi, I’ve been taking Aubagio for almost 6 years now and had been very pleased with the medication. No new plaques or lesions issues were found on my MRIs and I hadn’t noticed any side effects which were caused by the medication. Taking Aubagio was a great improvement over Avonex for me as I had pretty

Constantly bleeding / zoladex
I'm coming to to my 3rd shot of zoladex next week but for the last 5 weeks I've had 3 periods and all have been a week long. I had 5 days respite between 2 and my current period. I'm currently on day 7 and is not letting up, so don't know how much longer this 3rd will go on for. They aren't light,

Painful Sex
Hi Ladies If you had painful sex problems would you mind reading this and sharing if you experienced anything similar and if so what action was taken? My fear is that maybe the sex pain is an indication of a more worrying problem eg bowel adhesions or even recurrence. Thanks. On Friday my boyfriend

symptoms flare-up
I have been battling an iron deficiency since November, that seems to be a result of my correcting b12 deficiency with shots. I have not been taking the full recommended dose of iron until about a week ago. My ferritin is 25, which is up from 14, but still deficient. The last 3 weeks or so I have notice

New FDA approved genetic test to predict the chance of opioid addiction
I am concerned about the new genetic test AvertD just approved by the FDA https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/03/25/dna-test-opioid-addiction/ It uses DNA to predict whether a person is likely to get addicted to opioids. I can envision where doctors will require patients to take the test and

Hyperthyroidism and Pegasys
Hi everyone, I have been on Pegasys for my ET for about 5 months and have now found out I have very low TSG levels and too high t4, i.e. hyperthyroidism. Has anyone else experienced thyroid problems and did they have to come off IFN? Thanks!
