so confused with different doctors and their differing advice
hello, I have underactive thyroid with high thyroid antibodies So I’ve posted here a couple of times over the last year. I feel like I’m getting no where. To cut a long story short, was given T3 to take each day as well as my levo 75 per day. This was back in November. I did see some signs of improvement

So Confused . . . . .
I have been dealing with trying to get my B-12 levels up for about three years now. I also have adrenal fatigue and am so sensitive to drugs, supplements and even some foods. I have tried so many sublingual B-12 tablets and recently tried some injections. Within 10 minutes of the injection I can taste

Apparently Total T3 doesn't matter?
After a long battle of getting the GP's to check T3, finding it was low and them increasing levo (from 75mg to100mg) - my results are TSH 1.3 (range 0.23-5.6) Free T4 - 18 (range 9-23) Free T3 - 4 (range 3.1-6.8) Total T3 - 1.2 (range 1.3-3.1) Vit D 53 (range 50-139) I've lost my previous results

More research /labelling needed for Vit D supplements
I have had a host of new and totally unexplained incredibly negative symptoms over the past 3 months that have all totally gone since stopping D supplements over the past week - I now realise they started pretty much at the time I started taking the extra pill each day. Never ever crossed my mind that

NSAIDs
Hello All! I am writing to ask about the received wisdom of NSAIDs in this group... I have wicked foot and Achilles problems and it is possible an NSAID would be helpful. But apparently some are linked with a 76% higher probability of having Afib! A cursory glance at google tells me that Naproxen

zinc supplements
hi everyone, I’m back hoping for advice please. I’ve just seen my GP regarding my latest blood tests. Her answer to most of the results are you’re fine they’re in the normal range. My zinc levels are 12.6 umol/L (11.0-24). Should I take zinc supplements at this level? I’m already taking D3+K2 and my

Vitamin D - daily dose?
when I was first diagnosed with PBC my Vit D levels were low so had a high dose supplement which brought levels up to normal range. Bone density scan was OK. With general vitamin supplement and cod liver oil in winter months I take 10 microg of Vit D. I would be interested to hear how much anyone else

Is this ‘normal’ or should I bite the bullet and get a doc appointment?
Last October I was admitted to hospital with sepsis, thought to be due to a kidney abscess, later diagnosed as kidney cancer. The kidney was removed last December, they got it all and other than monitoring there’s no further treatment needed. I had a CT scan between the sepsis and op, for staging.
