Can we purchase T4 in UK without a prescription?
Could somebody PM me please regarding the above. I have developed a few issues over the past 2 months since changing to Bitiron and think I would probably do better to take thyroxine separate with a small amount of liothyronine. I swopped from Thyroid S to Bitiron in October because it just didn't

Medications for RLS recommendations
I have ALMOST transitioned off pramipexole with severe DAWS. I had been taking 3 mg every day. I believe this to be an unusual high dose but my neurologist ( not the doctor that ordered the high dose of pramipexole) says the maximum dose for any patient is the highest dose for the patient without

Suspected B12 deficiency and about to start SI
Hi everyone, I’ve had ID anaemia (microcytic hypochromic) for over 20 years and was told by a GP many years ago that this was due to malabsorption. I’ve had hypothyroidism since 2014, long covid for the past 2 years, and a vax injury from March 2021 that is only just being investigated by rheumatology

Recent Thyroid test (need thoughts)
I recently did my thyroid tests. I decided to do my labs 4 months sooner then scheduled because since having Covid in October my body has been on speed (My pulse randomly jumps to over 120 bpm) doing absolutely nothing and then drops to low 70s just as fast doing the very same thing I was doing when

Medichecks iron blood test results. Low ferritin?

Hair loss getting worse - what am I missing?
I have been struggling with hair loss for 3 years. It is now falling at an alarming rate and I fear being forced into wigs or hair replacement surgery. It's been a long journey, so I don't know that I'll remember everything, but I'll try to hit the important points: 1. I have no thyroid 2.

GP appt on Friday - what to ask?
Hi, following my post a few weeks ago, I have more test results and a follow-up appt on Friday with the lead GP. As mentioned, I've been offered anti-depressants more times than I can remember over the last 20 months since multi-nodular goitre was identified. I've gone on HRT to rule peri-menopause

Causes of iron overload / hemochromatosis
I recently posted that I was anaemic, however it seems I misinterpreted my results and the opposite is in fact true - my results actually suggest iron overload / hemochromatosis. The symptoms of which, can be similar to anaemia apparently (fatigue being a key one). Below are my results, in effect I

Liver update
Hello all Had a follow up after my wife’s recent diagnosis of advanced liver fibrosis and fatty liver. The consultant basically said that although there is scaring on the liver, that her liver is functionally normally and that there is no need to be worried. He used the analogy of having boiling

Advice on blood results
Hello - thank you to this community I am much more informed about thyroid issues and role of vitamins in its function. In Oct I had to remove my thyroid because of cancer and started 120mcg Levo, increased to 150 in December. My latest results are: TSH 0.04 (0.4 -4) - surgeon wants surpressed T4 22.3

It’s not just what you eat, but the time of day you eat it
This is the title of an article in the Washington Post today. For the life of me I can't figure out how to share it, but someone else might be able to, hopefully. The article says to finish meals earlier in the day. "This pattern of eating aligns with our circadian rhythms, the innate 24-hour clock

BLOOD PRESSURE DROPS ON LEVOTHYROXINE
Hi there everyone! Just wondering if any of you peeps out there have had experience of major blood pressure swings on levothyroxine. Mine has a tendency to be really low generally and at times so much so that I feel like I'm falling. Doctor has referred me to heart specialist, but if I increase my levothyroxine

RLS during in the morning and during the day when trying to take a nap?
Dear everyone here, fellow RLS sufferers, I am so grateful for this forum, I am on it daily to see what else can help my mother. First time I was here because she suffered badly from RLS which worsened a lot after hip replacement. And she was on 900 mg Neurontin and 0.0375 mg of Pramipexole that time
