Help With Starting point with Cannabis
Hi everyone. After a really bad bout of RLS, I went to see a north west based Neurologist, who really understood RLS, and helped me walk through the options again from scratch. Iron is now over 90, and tried tramadol and codeine which didnt do a lot, and the final option he has asked the GP to give

Frustrated, fed up and back to square one
I'm new here, I guess I'm looking for experiences that sound similar to mine and whether it's endo or other ways you got diagnosed. Background: - From 1st ever period, periods were a nightmare. Flooding, heavy, painful, went on pill aged 14. Stayed constantly on birth control to manage (7 different pills

Better work security and rights for us
Ok so I only recently joined this endo group as I was made to believe by a certain consultant the pain is all in my head, I was addicted to codeine or just wanted an op!! I read everyone’s comments, see how much it affects our daily lives and get angry. Endometriosis is a debilitating disease so why

High TSH, mid f T4 graves ablated thyroid now on thyroxine
Hi I had overactive graves thyrotoxicosis which was ablated using Radioactive iodine. The TSH levels are currently (Aug 19) 4.42 (range 0.3-5) and free T4 12.2 (7.9-16). I have gained weight and also have PCOS but heard that ideally TSH should be lower than 2 to be optimal. My doctor said as it’s in

3rd time lucky??
Just managed to talk my consultat about not having RAI and Give the block and replace another go. He said if I have another relapse that i will have to go for it. Why do they push RAI over block and replace? Surely as we know that once it's done it's done and no going back. I am 42 and dont want to give

Monthly inj
Hi everyone, hope your all coping with lockdown. The new consultant (same clinic) I've been seeing since January after reading my notes put me on monthly inj....I think it's because other consultant kept me on 8 weekly even though they stopped inj in left eye due to scarring ( I was told)...although

Codeine and thyroid
Hi folks, I take codeine on a prescribed basis from time to time. Does anybody know if codeine interferes with the thyroid or thyroid hormones?

Bleed during Eylea Injection
Hi, hubby had his 17th Eylea injection yesterday for BRVO. Good Covid arrangements in place and he was the first appointment 👍👍 or so we thought. He zoomed in after a temp check but patients came out and he didn’t appear! The usual excellent nurse injectors were there, who fill him with much needed

Thyroid/Afib issues
Hi, I need some help please! I have PAF so on daily dose of 5mg warfarin but for years I've had thyroid issues which are dealt with by taking 100 mcg of thyroxin every day. Been speaking with a Naturopath lately and she told me to do an iodine test which involved dropping some iodine onto my wrist

Pregnant (4 yrs infertility and recurring miscarriage) with (?) Hashimotos - SCARED!
I've had two miscarriages in the past in 2017 (have posted before)! Had bloods 15th June 2019: TSH 0.02 T3 7.9 T4 32 and a bunch of other stuff - I basically had everything tested prior to starting IVF. Couldn't start IVF because my thyroid was crazy. Further blood tests November 2019: TSH 3.76 T4

No more hot feet and much less RLS
After about two years of taking 65 mg of iron every other night along with 125 mg of vitamin C, I no longer have hot feet when I get into bed. A Harvard study reported that taking it every other night is more effective and another study showed that taking iron with vitamin C is beneficial. More importantly
