Weight, bloating, and itchy arms
After a long, tortuous fight to get diagnosed and treated with/for hypothyroidism, which was achieved almost entirely with the help and info from this forum, I think that my meds are now very close to perfect and my blood test results are continuing to improve. So thank you again to everyone. But I

Octasa and Diarrhea
Hi there, I have diagnosed UC, on last day of an 8 week course of steroids which stopped all my symptoms (bloody lose stool).I am also on day 10 of 6 x 800 mg Octasa. In the last 48 hours started getting diarrhea and fatigue and mild stomach cramps. 6 x loose/watery stools a day. Is this a normal side

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

Warm sensation in anus
After some bowel movements I'll feel a warm sensation afterwards in the anus. No diarrhea, no straining, no hemorrhoids, no bleeding. Just a warmth in the anus and feels like it isn't relaxing perhaps Anyone else have this? What causes it?

Ah...I am breathing easier
This is for everyone (though it is old news for most) but I haven't ordered Pan Pharma hydroxy for a year...in fact I believe I got the end of the lot and when it finally came it had a very short expiration. It also took 6 nail-biting weeks to get here. I was worried but have noticed the trend of it

Alverine and/or Simalvia - (which is alverine citrate with simethicone.) Side effects.
I have recently been put on these. I have found that both the standard alverine citrate, which I had tried first, now the Simalvia, cause feelings of extreme anxiety about an hour after taking the tablet! Weird and not listed in the side effects. So far it seems ineffective on the pain anyway. Would

Hyperhomocysteinemia or lack of vitamin 12

Update on Dipyridamole
Talked to my Doctor and he felt that taking Dipyridamole as needed was OK. In two months I have had three bad nights. To me a bad night is going to bed and getting back up in 10 minutes, when ya know ya know. So that is the good news. I am also going for a blood test next week, that should be

PiP - Aids being 'prescribed'
This appears to be coming up a few times from reading previous posts regarding PiP claims. People who have bought their own aids to facilitate an easier existence are being told they cannot count as proof of either disability/change in disability, because they have not been 'prescribed' by the GP. Yet

Cataract removal
I had a cataract removed on Friday last and make the stupid mistake of putting the wrong post op drops in my eye. I had to ring the emergency services and between them and my daughter I managed to get to the emergency room. They sluiced my eye out after administering antiseptic and rang the consultant

Stronger sense of taste on Urso
Has anyone here noticed a stronger sense of taste whilst taking Urso? Specifically sweet and salty tastes seem much stronger since I have been taking them.

Finally a specialist appointment...
I am looking forward to an appt in 2 days with a specialist in proctology and she is a colon surgeon and does pelvic floor therapy as well. My hemerrhoids - or whatever this is - are not getting better. Keeping the constipation under control with diet, water, miralax and occasional stool softener.
