Newly diagnosed
Hi all, diagnosed 4th May after episode of very rapid heart beats that wouldn't stop. Went to A & E where the diagnosis of AF was made. Stayed in for 5 days while they did CT scan of lungs and ultra sound of leg. Reason for that was that I had no symptom at all until a partial knee replacement 2nd March

Survey on diet, nutrition and health knowledge and awareness - Reminder!
Iodine
, a nutrient found in dairy and some fish, plays an important role in thyroid disease, but is not well known by the public. Understanding how people gain information about diet and (thyroid) health, to convert it into practice is important to inform awareness campaigns and medical education.

Amitriptyline? Or something else?
I’m advised my by GP to take 30mg Amitriptyline daily. However, this amount makes my restless legs worse. I’m lying in bed now awake at 3am, so I’ve taken two paracetamols and 30mg codeine. I sometimes think the drugs we take makes things worse. What do you take for Fibromyalgia?

Pain and fatigue
Hi there, about 4 weeks ago my hdry was stopped as the chemist could not get it and my rumey nurse cancelled my prescription after they rang me up.

Subclinical thyroid disease for 5 yrs
My thyroid has caused me few obvious problems in that time, other than varying T3 results.Before Xmas, 2022 I had a radionuclear scan which diagnosed toxic nodular goitre. I returned in January '23 to discuss what Endo want to do. Apparently, my choices are RAI or take Carbimazole. The dose was low,

Codeine for RLS
Hi all, So I've been on Pregabalin for a year and a bit and still not slept a full night. Sometimes it's good and I can sleep for 5 hours straight, but other times...let's just say not so good! I've noticed sugar exacerbates the problem, as does spicy food and overeating. (I'm on the maximum dose of

Far from being a cause of distress as was the case with the untold misery of a month ago walking the house at night feeling that familiar dread that comes with severe sleep deprivation and feeling like you’re teetering on the edge of an abyss, I now feel a certain sense of euphoria knowing that I will

Burning pain to side of scapular post several breast ops - anyone have this too?
Dear all Hope you are doing as well as can be. I am really struggling with very bad, deep burning in the area of my upper left back, in-between the shoulder blade and my spine and wondered if anyone else has had this issue post surgery/ies? I have a lot of lumps and spasmed areas anyway, all over

I had radioactive
iodine
some years ago and am on levothyroxine (100mg). My results from the GP always come back as 'normal' but have fluctuated wildly within this over the years.

mastectomy
Well my surgery went well,Only problem was as I expected low oxygen levels after the anesthetic. so glad I opted for Mastectomy-would never have coped with further operations and up to 18 months of treatment if I had opted for reconstruction..Only appts now are with a district nurse to check dressings

pain….is it PMR or something else?
I posted about a month ago with pain in my mid back, worse laying down. I saw my GP’s Nurse Practitioner who said it was coming from the long muscles that are under the shoulder blades. He gave me exercises to do. I have mild to moderate scoliosis. Two weeks later the pain had gotten

It has been my longest and toughest journey of my life.
My fibromyalgia started in a writer way. In 2019, I became very ill with several bloody UTIS, which then affected my skin, my body was producing what was similar to small fish scales, they would ping out of my skin all over my body. Come out my tear ducks. When I was on the loo I could hear them hitting
