Underdosed with Armour
I have a couple of questions regarding people’s experience with Armour Thyroid after reformulation. A quick history: I have MS (diagnosed in 1981) and Grave’s Disease (hyperthyroidism) (diagnosed in 1986). Thyroid ablation with RAI in 1987. On Synthroid for over a year during which I was basically non-functional

How painful should a flare get?
I am quite new to RA and seem on an even keel most of the time but get occasional sharp flares that leave me very weak. Last weekend I had a serious flare in my left shoulder, radiating to chest cavity. It began, as they usually do with me, during the night, and by 3am I was passing out with the extreme

Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment
Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment A long-standing problem with cancer radiation therapy is that it is not effective at the center of tumors where oxygen levels are low due to the lack of blood vessels penetrating deeply into the tissue. X-ray irradiation needs oxygen to generate DNA-damaging

Advice please?
I had a TT in Sept 21. Follicular and no subsequent RAI. I’ve been monitoring my bloods and Vit levels and these are my latest results. My ferritin and cortisol remains high and I don’t know why? Also my T3 concerns me. It has remained at this level even when I was on higher dose but T4 was 22 I am on

Hi, I have just received these results. The report said I have subclinical hypothyroidism. I had RAI nearly 3 years ago due to graves , should I be worried that my levels are like this or should I just increase my dose? Thanks

Heartburn
Hi, I hope someone can advise please? I take 100mcg eltroxin, hypothyroid following RAI for Hyper/Graves. I've been struggling with heartburn for a while now. Was originally put on pantoprazole by g.p. then slowly weaned myself off as I was concerned about being on it for years, doctors don't seem concerned

IBS back pain and pain killers
When my. IBS has flares up it aggravates my back problems. I used to manage the back pain with pain killers and anti inflamatories. I think the latter are why IBS got bad. I am now in extreme pain and paracetamol is not doing mu h on its own. Codeine usually leads to constipation which also affects

Returning to a Patient-Centered Approach in the Management of Hypothyroidism
If you watch the sea, as the tide goes out it seems to take forever. You keep thinking that it really must be low-tide. But it keeps receding. Eventually there comes a point at which it does just about stop going out, and maybe the odd stronger wave comes in a touch further than the one before. This

Hi I’m under investigation for PCOS. I’ve been put on the progesterone only pill so I’ve stopped bleeding, however I’m still getting agonising pain in my groin and the worst cramping. Has anyone else had this? Is there anything other than paracetamol and codeine that I can take? (Can’t take anti inflammatory

Getting stronger
Tomorrow it will be 2 weeks I have been home. I have had a fantastic follow up by a cardiac nurse,who gave me a right bollocking. Firstly for doing too much walking and for not taking the right amount of pain killers. I am now doing 2x15 min walks and started the full paracetamol and codeine dosage.
