internal shingles
hi, I’ve been diagnosed with internal shingles and it’s the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I’m on my last day of Aciclovir, I’m taking paracetamol and codeine during the day and 3 amitriptyline at night, this has been going on for over a week. Is this normal? Any advice gladly accepted

Tramadol augmentation, what next?
I've received plenty of great info from previous posts and need some help again. I've been on tramadol periodically for last 2 years, currently take 50mg once in evening. I understand that's a low dose for RLS but it has been sufficient to eliminate my night time symptoms. Until recently. I've started

Opioids for RLS- some useful information
Having put this in a recent Reply I thought that I'd add a Post to highlight the information from three key sources which may help members in discussion with a doctor: 1. "Where first line treatments have failed due to adverse effects or augmentation, low dose opioids are highly effective and do not

Is it necessary to start treatment with L-thyroxin 50 μg ?
I was referred to an endocrinologist who perscribed L-Thyroxin with
Iodine
50 μg. After two weeks my bloods showed that TPO had increased again to 118 but TSH had decreased to 1.51. I then found out at a rountine scan that my baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks, a missed miscarriage.

How to come off Armour or?
It maybe just co-incidence she is feeling worse or that her
iodine
is still too high, Ive posted about the
iodine
but cant find the original post on here?. The plan now is to come off the Armour to see if that was the culprit, my question is how is that best done?

From darkness into light and almost all the way back again
Due to persistent AF and by now, a diagnosis of Graves, I was lined up for either a Thyroidectomy or Radio
Iodine
and sent to the local Endocrinologist. The one request I had was: “please don’t make me fat again”.

Can Sea Moss Gel affect your thyroid blood test
The only change I have made is to add Sea Moss Gel to my morning drink , could this have affected my thyroid as Sea Moss Gel contains 92 minerals including
iodine

Iodine and the thyroid
Is this to be avoided due to its
iodine
content? Or is it good for hypothyroidism? I have added this to my diet over the last 6 months. Can this affect the thyroid e.g going overactive or under active? Also, what is thyroxine composed of in the drug we take? Not the fillers etc.

One thing I have not tested for is
iodine
deficiency. I keep reading that in the west it is very rare for that to be an issue for goitre and if you have hashimoto's , taking it could be dangerous? Is this true? They do not test on the NHS so would need do it it myself.

Update after hysterectomy for adenomyosis
I posted here just over a week ago with the background and my pre-operative anxieties: https://healthunlocked.com/endometriosis-uk/posts/150262788/adenomyosis-should-i-have-hysterectomy so I thought I'd update. When I went in to hospital I was still quite ambivalent and fearful. But when I talked to

Constant uncomfortable feeling
I'm hoping anyone out there can reach out. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 10 years ago and had 3 laparoscopies with the last one removing my left ovary and tube over 3 years ago. For the past month or so the pain is gradually getting worse. I'm worried that this will be the norm as its feels too

No stamina
I am confident I have my thyroid hormones at right level and most of my symptoms are gone. I am slowly losing weight, alert, happy, skin is better. My arthritis plays up hence the inflammation but my main issue is lack of stamina. I can only really do one thing a day after which I am wiped out and need

Vitamin C and B12
Despite weekly injections of b12 my blood results show that I am only mid range and I am still symptomatic. I take codeine for arthritic pain and with this I take about 4000 mg of vitamin C to alleviate constipation. Is the vit C helping rid my body of B12 and if so can I just increase my injections
