Jaundice advise
Hello:) Just hoping someone might put my mind at ease. I’m currently jaundice (they think obstructive jaundice as I’ve already had my gallbladder removed) and although my bilirubin is dropping and I think my skin colour is lessening, my eyes are staying yellow- if anything they maybe more yellow. Are

I had to a forum on my love for thyroid uk
I have been in one this site for at 1 year and I can say my thyroid health has tremendously improved. I want to thank the administration especially greygoose and slowdragon. I tell you an important lesson is not to give up on your treatment! One thing I am going to do is call IBSA and ask about the status

3 months after kasai
How long it will take to clear jaundice after kaSai? Is it 3 or 6 months? Even with slightly higher of bilirubin, can we expect to see yellow eyes ? I can't able to judge what level my daughter is now? She is going on pale stools in the morning and white on the evening Am worried about her progress

Elevated Bilirubin with normal remaining LFT
Hi, new to the site & hoping someone can help. I have a thyroid problem so regularly have bloods taken (thyroid panel, u’s & e’s & LFT). Had them done a couple of weeks ago & had a call from my GP to say I need another LFT doing as there was a problem with the previous test. Had the bloods redone today

Levothyroxine and St Johns wort
Has anyone ever tried to take St Johns wort when on Levothyroxine? Are there any adverse effects if I do so? I am currently on 50mcg Levo. If you do take it, how long do you wait after taking your levo to have the St Johns wort? Thanks, Emily

Is creatine a bad idea?
Hi is it dodgy if I take creatine? I'm early stage one CLL. I've gone on a vegan low-carb diet and my numbers go down each month with it but I've lost some weight. I wonder if taking creatine to boost my muscles is a bad idea. Thank you!

Update
Went back on zoloft a few weeks ago and went back to 50 mcg of levothyroxine. I'm not feeling well and feel like the zoloft Is working less effectively than before starting levothyroxine. Its discouraging because I thought that combo was what was making me feel so well in the beginning. Then I got off

The female problem: how male bias in medical trials ruined women's health
A recurring theme here, and in many other health forums, is how female patients are treated differently, less believed, less understood, than male patients. Even by female doctors. Although this article does not mentioned thyroid, I think we all realise that it is a prime example. Nonetheless, I hope

Vit D
I take Promacta 15 mg and it is holding me somewhere between 50 and 80. Everyone seems O.K. with that. A couple of months ago, a few posted that vitD helped their numbers, so I tried that on top of my promacta. I don't know if it was wishful thinking, coincidence, or what, but after 6 weeks my platelets

Low Fasting Gastrin.
Hey guys, I had a blood test done recently and got some of the normal tests done. I got a CBC and HGB/HCT came back normal and I got an MMA test done and it came back at 99 (0-378 normal) so all of that checks out. This time though I did get a serum gastrin test for the first time. It came back at
