Mental health or thyroid issues?
Hi all - apologies for the length but I hope you can help. I was diagnosed in August 2013 with an underactive thyroid following the birth of my son. I had put on 4 stone in my pregnancy that I just couldn't shift no matter what I did and was incredibly anxious/down and lethargic with a lot of head fuzz

I'm not sure this healthy life is all its cracked up to be!!
Since being diagnosed with Hashimotos I have become a health nut. Quite apart from giving up gluten (and reducing my TPO antibodies) I have now stopped all dairy to try and help my RA. I am juicing raw veg and eating more fruit than I ever have in my life. I take a plethora of supplements plus cod

Pain relief
Anyone got advice for effective pain relief I'm currently on co-codamol, ibuprofen and tramadol. But suffering to many side effects with the tramadol and trying to avoid taking it, not very successful as so much pain can't stand up straight.

FECK........FECK, FECK, FECK....
Well, after years of no real problems, they are back!! The knackerd knees are starting to be troublesome once more. Maybe it's my advanced years (50), or my weight (12-and-a bit stone), or, more likely, it's years of tripple-jump training whilst I was at school. But, whatever it was, they are hurting

Are there stronger NSAIDs than Diclofenac? Does anyone give me good pain relief advice, please?
Hi I am getting pain which can't get rid of Diclofenac. I have been taking Naproxen regularly and still getting pain so I level up to Diclofenac but still getting severe pain. Diclofenac is the strongest NSADs I got from GP. I have codiene based tablet, co-codamol, solpadol and Tramadol. But co-codamol

Urinary Retention
Hello. Has anyone had urinary retention a while after taking Co codamol? This lasts until the next which makes my weight go higher. I also take diuretics, amitriptyline 20mg, gabapentin 30mg and Levothyroxine but this only happens when I take the Co codamol and is very unpleasant. My GP has changed

Help me please will I ever feel like myself again
Sitting here crying my eyes out feel so bloody alone and frightened. Only people I have to turn to are you all here on this brilliant site. Since April I was put on combo t3 20 and 75 eltroxin and my whole system crashed. When I look at it now I was completely overmedicated by the endo here in Ireland

Blood test results I'd appreciate any comments
TSH 0.849. T4 28.9. Free T3 4.9 still feel tired not as bad as I was but I'm just over 5 weeks on 125 eltroxin so I suppose I may be patient I've just checked my MCH and that's 33 range should be 27-32 does that mean I've micro cystic anaemia B12 or thyroid malfunction. my B12 results B12 615 that's

Solgar Megasorb B Comples
I'm thinking of trying Solgar Megasorb B-Complex as well as my B12 sublingual and my cod liver oil capsuls. I looked up the ingredients and it contains soya lecithin 50 mg. Is that ok to take or will it react with my underactive thyroid. Should I avoid anything containing soya. I was also looking

Hi I take 20mg of Methotrexate once a week, 2000mg Sulfasalazine everyday, 50mg of Diclofenac 3x a day. With 30mg of Co-codamol to help
Have just been to see my consultant a couple of days ago, says Rhuematiod is under control but I am still in pain pretty much on a daily basis. He did not seem to take much notice of this as blood tests indicate ok. Is it possible to be under control and still be in pain.

Hi, I suffer from RLS each night and I am due to go into hospital for a knee joint replacement. Any advice would be welcome
Having suffered with RLS for many years on a nightly basis I take Pramipexole and Co Codamol and have my own routine for trying to get some quality sleep. I am very concerned that immediately post operation with my leg immobilised, how will I be able to cope when my RLS kicks in?

Feeling a bit down...
I was diagnosed with early RA a couple of weeks ago and I've started methotrexate. I've only taken two doses and also had a steroid injection. I'm still on 90mg Arcoxia and 30mg/500mg Co-Codamol. I'm feeling a bit down because I don't feel much improvement. The steroid has improved my foot pain slightly
