Graves - next stage
Hi all, I have posted a couple of times but still a newbie when Graves is concerned. Seen my endo consultant in April, diagnosed as having Graves’ disease (antibodies present) told to increase my carbimazole to 40mg for 6 weeks and then back to 20mg. Also told to stop propanol gradually. GP put me

Iron Deficiency May Predict Greater Risk for Hypothyroxinemia: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Pregnant Women in China
One of the parts of the thyroid jigsaw that is most often repeated here is the importance of iron levels. Here, in the context of pregnancy, another paper highlighting the importance of adequate iron. Yet, most of the time, we hear of standard treatment being ferrous sulphate - and the difficulty people

Feeling awfully hypo
Hello. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's last April, on 50mcg of Synthroid (levothyroxine). I should be on a higher dosage but can not tolerate it. When I was first diagnosed they had me on 100mcg and I was over medicated. My tsh dropped from 15 to 0.8 in one month and I ended up at the hospital with

Support before GP visit
I am so very confused about what to do with my situation. Anti-parietal cells have been confirmed in 2013, but I've not had treatment for this. I am repeatedly told my diagnosis is not something I need to worry about at the moment. In terms of facts, my most recent blood test taken on the 12th June 2018

Low iron levels and egg quality
So I started stimming a week ago, it looks like my egg collection will be mid next week. I already had low iron levels and have been on tablets for over a month as my levels were at 20% (I think they should be at 40 or 50%). I've been taking one tablet twice a day of 200mg ferrous sulfate. But last

The St Thomas Hospital Transcobalamin testing service
Hello, Has anyone on this forum had experience for the transcobalamin testing service offered at St Thomas Hospital? I am to understand that it requires a GP referral letter to get an appointment but the patient only pays a £15+vat private blood-drawing charge? Have I got this right from the literature

Hi All, I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful sunny day (well it is in the south of UK)! I had a phone consultation with my GP after test results and she got advice from the endo. Dr said she’s not going to prescribe levo yet(as I expected) and booked me in for a repeat blood test in a month. She did

56 years ago Doctor Claire Weekes wrote her first book on how to recover from anxiety disorder.
"Such feelings may have possessed you for a long time, even for years...And yet however deeply involved you may be in
nervous
breakdown
it is possible to recover and enjoy life again. I emphasise HOWEVER DEEPLY INVOLVED.
