curious any hypothyroid diabetics experience out there?
22+ years of both Hashi and diabetes (Type 3c)…Gp has cut my levo from 100 to 75, and I’ve kept the T3 (5x3) as he is convinced that my high HR is from ‘overmedication on levo’ ( long story involving 4 1/2 years long covid)…felt obliged to take lower dose to shut him up and get referred to correct drs

Neupro patch - how do I get off it?
I was put on the 3mg patch in June and only get relief with an addition of 30mg codeine. I then have no symptoms and sleep all night. I have a sleep clinic appointment next week. My ferritin is low. I know I should ask for an iron infusion. What else should I be asking?

PBC and Cholesterol
My total cholesterol level has shot up to 6.39. My internist wants me on a statin (Atorvastatin) with it's many negative side effects. I've been researching other cholesterol lowering medication options and many sites (including the Mayo Clinic) list bile acid sequestrants - including Cholestyramine

Having been on my thyroid journey for 4years, I've learnt so much and feel confident to learn more and help myself if needed. Any advice regarding

Neurologist in South of England
Hi fellow RLS people. Can anyone suggest a private neurologist in UK preferably South of England who will prescribe opioids? My doctor didn’t want to prescribe codeine (although had done so in the past). In the past I have also tried DA, gabepentin, clonazepam, amitriptiline, and some sleeping tablets

kidney stones
The doctor has said I could have kidney stones but because the pain is very mild it’s not an immediate concern as it’s the weekend. I should try and ride it out until my blood tests and scan next week unless it gets severe.
