New to this website and am looking for some advice :)
Hi, I’m a 19 year old female who has suffered from IBS my whole life, literally since I was a baby. I have EDS, PoTS, Endometriosis, GERD and Gastritis. I had H.pylori from the end of 2017 to April 2019, undiagnosed and untreated for over a year because my gp said that I was ‘attention seeking because

Bad batch of B12
Hi I'm just adding to the posts about bad batches of B12 - there's been a couple in the last month. I have self-injected since 2020 - originally every other day, increased to every day after having Covid in July 2021. Taking control has felt miraculous as I have been able to return to full-time

General questions about starting NDT
Hello lovely people, I'm back again with more questions... Just waiting on my NDT prescription to be filled by the pharmacy. It will be CAPSULES with powder inside (not tablets). It's 50mg, once a day. I've never had any thyroid treatment previously, so this is my first time trying any thyroid hormones

I really need some help and advice please.
I am struggling. I quit smoking back when I was 30 and I’ve been unwell ever since. I’m now 38. They put me on levothyroxine about 18 months after I quit smoking because my tsh went up to 11, my free t4 went to the bottom of the normal range, my free t3 went sky high. I also developed antibodies at 350

Update after Endo
Good morning, I'm just writing this as an update to anyone who may be interested in my seemingly-odd case... My Endo appointment went well. (Or so I thought but if you're learning from this post, please read the comments!) She believes I have Graves disease, despite the antibodies indicating Hashimotos
