Peak Flow
Hello, I hope this is not a silly question. I have slight facial palsy, the right hand side of my mouth drops slightly so I never seem able to take a full "puff" when taking my peak flow, which is normally between 450 and 500. If I hold up my right cheek to match the other side it goes up to between

Your thoughts please on suggested levo and thyroid glandular regime
I’ve been complaining for ever about static weight, sleep issues and other niggles but since metavive had nucleotides added I noticed more niggles (or an exacerbation of) and actual weight gain and so I had to decrease the dose to the point where they just weren’t enough A few weeks ago I began phasing

Looking for UK endocrinologist
Hello, I've recently been found to have antibodies for Coeliac disease after an over 5 year search for a diagnosis for my brain fog, joint pain, hair loss etc. While hopeful that continuing a gluten free diet will bring me relief, a lot of my symptoms resemble hypothyroidism, which is common in people

Is sugar bad?
I’ve been trying to follow a gluten free diet to see if it helps my Hashimoto’s symptoms. Last night I ate something with a high sugar content and woke up feeling awful😭 puffy, red eyes, terrible brain fog, exhaustion. Now I’m wondering if sugar could be the culprit. Anyone else experienced this?

It's all good now!
Pmr hit just about three years ago. I am now reporting one month at zero pred, down from thirty originally. Fingers crossed that that is the end of it. If not then pred is my friend. If I had the opportunity to live my life over and not get Pmr I don't think I would take it. It has taught me a lot of

Low Carb Diet makes a difference?
Does a low carb diet really help? After 5 years of PMR, down to 8 mg daily pred and overweight, I'm ready to try cutting carbs. What has been anybody's diet experience with meat, beans and green veggies with no potatoes, rice, pasta or sweets?

metastasized to brain
I just don’t have the heart to retype/edit an update. Please forgive my “family version” dialogue: After a painfully long and concerning wait dealing with insurance issues, Jeff finally received his cancer fighting drug, Zytiga. He started taking the Zytiga/Prednisone combo Friday, August 6th. The effects

Keto / Low Carb and Cognitive Functioning
I was reading a story about a woman who improved her memory by following a low carb diet. The research on this subject seems mixed. When I eat very low carb (as opposed to moderately low carb) I swear I have easier access to my subconscious. I also have a lot more memories from many many years ago pop

Peak flow after blue inhaler
Hi all, I was diagnosed with asthma during the first lockdown and I've queried the diagnosis since the blue inhaler never gave me much relief from my symptoms. I've never had an asthma attack as such but what prompted the diagnosis was the fact that I had an episode in which I was bent over my kitchen

Hashimoto's and not feeling better
Hi there! I'm wondering if it is possible to just never feel better (lethargic, mentally slow, unable to concentrate/difficulty reading, fatigued, short of breath, etc) when having hashimoto's? Like do some people just feel bad for their entire life despite doing all the right things? I know other people
