Slimpod feedback, please
I am really interested in whether hypothyroid people with a weight problem have had any experience of Slimpod. I don't snack or eat junk (except occasionally) and wonder if Slimpod can help someone with an underachieve thyroid whose choices about food are already fairly healthy. Have you tried it

enlarged sore breasts
hi - rather embarrassing but here goes! Approximately 2 weeks ago I had to increase levothyroxine to 100 mcgs- breasts are now enlarged and sore. I can’t be pregnant- I happen to of had routine breast scan just prior to meds increase and no abnormalities detected. Has anyone else experienced this

Weight gain
Has anyone gained a lot of weight with hypothyroidism? I have gained about 25lbs and don't want to leave my house. I am basically a recluse. I can't go to town, or work, I just about manage to make it to the store, but struggle because I have no transport and exercise is a non starter. I am always out

feeling tired after levo increase?
hello all. I have recently upped my dose of levi for 75mcg. I have since felt nothing but tired. I did have headaches the first 4 days but they subsided. i also seem to have gained weight since the increase in dose. What gives? Im yawning throughout the day.

medConfidential Bulletin , 8th December 2023
Another bulletin that should be required reading for anyone concerned about who has access to any of their health data held by the NHS in England. I'm not sure if any of this is relevant to Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. It talks about, among other things, the National Data Opt-Out. I opted out

Any successful treatment with red light therapy for peripheral neuropathy?
Hello, I am wondering whether or not it’s worth pursuing some sort of photobiomodulation (red light) therapy as a way of addressing idiopathic peripheral neuropathy which, in my case, means numb feet with burning soles at night. Has anybody had any success with these types of intervention, either through

Incontinence - A major problem
I have had Parkinson's since the spring of 2014. I had my first major fall (any fall that requires a trip to the ER) in Oct. of 2018, and I have gone downhill since that night. The Parkinson's symptom that's keeping me from leading a normal life is a freezing gait, although I do have overall tightness

A question for anyone who built a red light therapy helmet/hat.
Hello. I’m interested in building a red light therapy hat. But I’m having trouble finding a source for 670nm and 810nm led strips. I was wondering if anyone who has built a hat using these specific wavelengths could share a link to where they purchased them. Thank you.

A Miracle
Hi Everyone, It's been a while and I pray that everyone is one step closer to healing. I'm back to share good news and hopefully offer a glimpse of hope to others. My husband has recovered from PMR! This community was so helpful, encouraging and supportive that I had to come back and share. Moreover

Things, regimens,etc that are probably RLS worthless.
THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK FOR RLS All of us with RLS/PLMD have slightly different symptoms. We have tried various 'remedies' to try to relieve our RLS symptoms. We have read articles, some interesting, some ridiculous (bar of soap) that make amazing promises. And there is an entire array of things to

update Vanderbilt
just thought I would update and let y’all know that I have an appointment with a doctor at Vanderbilt university medical in Franklin Tennessee in April. Vanderbilt is a RLS quality care center and the closest to me. I actually had one of their Doctors call me and said that if there were any cancellations

red light therapy
has anyone ever heard of or tried red light therapy? I’m sure that’s not the proper medical term but that’s what Dr Cooper called it. After the nerve induction test he said both my legs showed nerve weakness and the red light therapy is what he prescribed saying that it might possibly help the RLS.

Severe cirrhosis, any hope?
My father is in hospital with severe cirrhosis. He has been drinking a litre of vodka a day for 2 years. It sounds silly but none of us knew about it. He never seemed drunk. We are beating ourselves up wishing we could have intervened sooner. We phoned his DR after finding the empty bottles and he was

Ureter Restriction from Radiation Treatments?
While I don't have any symptoms (yet), a CT scan and ultrasound tests show that the lower part of my right ureter tube is very narrow and causing the kidney to swell, apparently from restricted flow of urine through the ureter. My University of Chicago Medicine urologist suspects scarring in the ureter

10th year
Ten years ago I had my Gleason 9 prostate removed. PSA was .1 for a while. It crept up over .2, and I began taking lupron. The drug brought PSA back down to >.01 for a year or so. As the level started going up again, I received whole pelvis bed radiation, moving PSA to undetectable. After a year or so
