Can anyone help me with hair loss?
The picture is from a hair wash this morning. It comes out in little clumps each time I rinse my hair. I have hypothyroidism and had my thyroid out 8 years ago. I take thyroxine 150mcg and have blood tests every 6 months to check my levels. I've been given ferrous sulphate 200mg and take this every day

Update on my phone appt. with Neph. last Wed.
3 months ago myNeph. had said he may take me off Prednisone in Jan. as an experiment to see if my kidney numbers stayed up since when I started Pred. they jumped from eGFR of 28 up to 50. It had been 35 - 30 the previous 4 or 5 years. My Jan. labs showed I'd dropped to 42 which is still my best in 8

About 'good' oils for NASH and NAFLD
I haven't been officially diagnosed, but believe this is my issue and has been for some time. I am going to overhaul diet and do what I can.... but I have a question about oils. I know all veg canola etc must be avoided. High quality olive oil is on your list to take daily. What about coconut oil

Anyone know about Globulin levels
Anyone had experience of “low globulin” count when having a blood test? Had my monthly Methotrexate blood test last Tuesday, the GP rang me Wednesday afternoon to say my globulin count was a bit low & with my “Rheumatoid factor”. Of course he didn’t explain what it was & when I asked what needed to be

Undiagnosed painful bladder with neuropathic extensions in legs and up to head.
Please help. My partner was admitted to hospital 9 days ago with an extremely painful bladder/urination problem accompanied by unquenchable thirst. A sudden and desperate need to urinate without actually urinating anything much at all, and then having to constantly retry. It also seems to have a neuropathic

Burning legs a statin side effect?
I started statins approx 2 yrs ago following a diagnosis of CVD. It’s hard to put a time on it but I’m sure that it’s since then that I started with burning legs. I’ve changed from Atorvastin to Simvastatin because I’d also started having discoid eczema. The eczema on my legs seems much better although

Sodium Oligomannate
Today, there was a new article in Parkinson's News Today on Sodium Oligomannate being studied for Parkinson's Disease because Chinese studies have been so successful using this seaweed-extracted sodium for Alzheimer's disease. Seaweed is sometimes available in supermarkets, and I also see that it is

Help with bloods please including iron levels.
Bloods taken last week in the morning before Levo or any other medication at 8.50 in the morning. I’m currently taking 200mcg and 212.5mcg alternative days. As Aristo brand. Still getting a few palps and still very tired. Would I benefit from t3 if so why as need support as endo not wanting me to take

Lifestyle 🏊♀️ 🧘♀️ 🏃♀️💪🏻🚴🥗💧🍷🧂🍫👍 (long post alert - get a cuppa tea ☕️)
Lots of people ask about lifestyle & what has made a difference to ‘me’. Emphasis on me because everyone is so different. That said everyone should live as healthy as is possible, respecting ability, illness, and other limits people have. A 2 hr walk to me might be 10 minutes is all someone can manage

Imodium/stool color?
Does Imodium cause stool color to be different than normal? It makes mine a weird beige color. During an IBS-D flare, stools or liquid is normally brown or yellow. Never this color.

Probiotics for Parkinson's disease: Current evidence and future directions 2020
So... I'm taking lactobacillus casei Shirota, which is both the probiotic used in the PD study that showed it helped with bowel movements and is also anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. It has been shown to reduce the EBV titers in your system too. If you think PD is autoimmune

Multiple Bowel Movements
My son (aged 40) has been diagnosed with IBS. He has had a sigmoid colonoscopy that was all clear. For 12 months now he has to go to the toilet about 6-10 times a day starting early in the morning till about 11am. No diarrhoea just lots of bowel movements. Doesn’t matter what he eats, tried everything

Iron /Ferritin Level and Menopause
Hello Everyone...Quick question. Is it necessary to test your iron and ferritin if you no longer have a menstrual cycle? The GP who is filling in for the regular GP stated that since I no longer have a period, that I could not be anemic due to low iron/ferritin. This does not make sense to me , so

Changing brands of T4 - will I notice any difference?
Hi, I believe most of you here are in the UK so you may not know this brand (I'm in Belgium and I've had to order it from France), but I am about to switch from the Belgian brand L-Thyroxine to Thyrofix and I wondered whether anyone had any experience of the latter or a brand with the same or similar

Underactive Thyroid, Hashimoto, Anaemia or none of the above
Any thoughts on the below please? I am considered normal but hoping to see an Endo specialist privately. I do have some more blood test results re: blood count but thought these might be the key ones. Can add if needed Creatinine 83 (range 53 - 97) Calcium 2.41 mmol (no normal range) CKD 75ml/min/1.73m2

Low Sodium Salt
Thinking of my blood pressure I want to reduce the salt in my diet. I have some low sodium salt (Brand: Saxa So-Low) in which the reduced sodium is primarily taken up with potassium chloride instead. The packet says it contains 50% less sodium than table salt. It has 51% potassium chloride and 48% salt

Struggling to cope...
Hi, I first got tinnitus about 8 years ago, seen a ENT specialist and after getting hearing aids, combined with a sound unit at my bedside it lessened to having no impact on my life. In fact I used to explain to folk if they ever get it, their brain would habituate to it over time. Hopefully still true
