I am so sorry this is really long but I am at a loss as to what I should do and struggling waiting. I have struggled with what I believe to be endo for years.

Problematic mucous & dry cough ..
Hello, Dad's cough is now pretty mucousy, and dry at the same time. Both are frustrating/aggravating for him, in different ways. For the mucous part - we try to do some mild chest tapping to encourage it out & I know that drinking good amounts of water is good for that too. Any

Advice on codeine v tramadol
I'm hoping for some advice because my doctor and the neurologists have been no help. For the past few years I have been taking 50mg tramadol, 300mg Gabapentin and 50mg sertraline. Prior to this I managed to wean off Pramipexole. I haven't increased the dosage of any of my current meds because I had hoped

pain in arms, looking for alternative to naproxen
Hi, I have been struggling with fluid retention and swollen legs for some time now. Last week my orthopaedic consultant requested that I go into hospital so they could have a good look at the wound on my left foot as it wasn't healing very well. I had been taking naproxen for arthritis and shoulder pain

I had my pacemaker in 2020, it was repositioned last year as I was getting lots of pain from the left side of it , for the first few months i was pain free but gradually it’s started to cause discomfort which has now developed into pain . There’s no sign of any infection but at times I can’t cope with

Hypothyroidism and work patterns
Also I was told years ago at my GP surgery that I should not be working night shifts while on Levothyroxine (I’m on it for life as I had radioactive
iodine
treatment as originally I had hyperthyroidism when I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease.)

I think I’ve messed up!
Started to feel not so great. Was taking 2 grains of NDT and 25mcg T3( background RAI therapy around 10 yrs ago) I went to the doctors who took bloods. Results as detailed. I am not sure why my results are so low. I have been on the same dosage for a long time- blood results were always good! Has NDT

Serum iodine test, UK
The consultant said that test doesnt reflect cellular,
iodine
level (adaptive response/excreting minerals) so suggested a serum test is better.

B complex recommendation
Hi there, I have been using wild nutrition food source b complex which I was happy with but they have changed the formula to add
iodine
which I understand isn't good if you take Levothyroxine. Can anyone recommend an alternative "clean" supplement. Thanks X

GCA, Pred tapering and shoulder pain
