Help with test results
I am feeling a bit better, not so spaced out, no depression or dizziness. I stopped HRT in July. However, I do still get tired, have weight problems, have a swollen scalloped tongue, high cholesterol, goitre, tinnitus, joint stiffness. I am on 100mg Levothyroxine. I take B complex, B1, selenium

Magnesium glycinate supplements
Hello everyone I’ve been taking magnesium glycinate for a while before bed and found it really helps with sleep. I still wake up during the night, but go back to sleep much more quickly than before. However, the tablets I take are big and I find them difficult. I have to eat something afterwards even

Hello. I have been on the planet for a bit. I'm not even sure I tapped the right place to do a general post. Will try this. I joined yesterday. This depression stuff is not a new experience but it has gotten much deeper. Much more uncomfortable. I have started treating myself to seeing a counselor

Now for something completely different
Monday, when you probably will see this post. Crack of dawn. I will be on my way to University Hospital London for a Radical Prostatectomy on Weds. Yes, I've had to learn a new lexicon of terms and medical knowledge. Whilst for the last few months I have been an observer of comments and post rather

Cramps
I am experiencing incredibly painful foot leg and hand cramps during the night and can't sleep as I'm continuously flying out of the bed and pacing the floor. Does anyone else have this. I went to boots and the pharmacist said because you are on diuretics you are deficient in things. She recommended

I have found the sweet spot for magnesium supplementation for constipation and its about 600mg split between 2 doses of 1/4 ts oxide but its also unfortunately causing me muscle cramps and dry eyes to the point I can't wear contact lenses during supplementation. I have tried many

Major issues with sleep and waking up in the morning.
Hey everyone! I'm back for more advice. My 16 year old ADHD son has the worst time getting up in the morning. I wake him up about 4 times before I leave which ends with me snatching the covers off of him and sometimes squirting him in the face with a water bottle. He has an old school GM alarm clock

RLS returned after taking Duloxetine
Had RLS for many years, associated with Fibromyalgia. Having taken Amitriptylene, Nortriptyline , Pregabalin for my Fibro, my RLS has been under control. Recently started taking Duloxetine to help my Fibro and my RLS has returned with a vengeance. I get very little sleep, as soon as my head hits pillow

Advice on iron status
Hi lovely people, I was hoping to get some advice on my iron status. A bit of background, I have just recently increased levo to 88mcg a couple of weeks ago, and was on 75mcg before that. So, I am aware that my thyroid hormone is still too low. It's a slow process getting docs to increase! My question

Iron levels
Had an awesome break through with a locum GP who checked my iron levels, found them to be low and gave me Ferrous Sulphate. It’s worked wonders. Yay! However, three months in and my normal GP has asked me to go for another blood test to check my iron levels now and won’t give me further ferrous sulphate

First ever Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Test
Hello lovely folks, I've had my first ever Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Test and would really appreciate your views on next steps. The TSH result would indicate I need to increase levo, also I'm concerned at high CRP and antibodies! Plus I don't think I convert T4 to T3 very well. Your thoughts are very

Hi everyone! First of all, I have to say thank you. This is my first time posting, but I've been lurking around here for a while now and I have already learnt so much from this forum! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Nov 2021 and put on 25mcg levothyroxine. It has been a slow battle to get doctors
