Blood tests for chronic fatigue, hair loss, brain fog
Recently I went to get blood work done after experiencing some lethargy, lack of focus and brain fog. Pretty much everything came back within the normal range except for my LDL and total cholesterol which were slightly elevated but nothing too out of whack (LDL 125, HDL 50, total 207) . My doc said I

Recently diagnosed with Hyper Thyroid. Where to go?
My NHS endocrinologist seems far too busy, so I am looking for private treatment. Also, I infer from the leaflet that he's sent that his standard recommendation is Radioactive Iodine ablation which does not fill me with confidence. Can anyone recommend a good consultant to approach. I live in West

Coming to the end of my thyroid journey
Hi everyone, I feel I’m coming to the end of my thyroid journey and am asking for any final suggestions. I had RAI for Graves 2014 and nine months later became hypothyroid and very unwell. I’ve been sick since May 2015. Zero energy, debilitating fatigue and a general feeling of being unwell nearly

Best blood values
Already learned a lot in this forum and from other sources about optimal blood values for Vit D and B12. Just wonder if similar recommendations exist for zinc, selenium, iodine, iron and omega 3 and 6? I’m on WFPBD, take some supplements and check my blood values every three months, some more expensive

Did anyone else listen to the talk about Electrolytes by Surrey ASG?
Very interesting, unfortunately i dont think it was recorded. Conclusions were to try and get enough Magnesium and Potassium from food, although results for Magnesium were inconclusive, it seemed to me that Potassium was key. I have heard bad things about potassium tablets in the past so i have been

Advice on tablets if liquid thyroxine is still unavailable.
Hi all Having seen my GP today to discuss the lack of liquid thyroxine, she tells me that they cannot just discontinue providing it on the NHS as there are several patients that can't take thyroxine in any other form. It seems it is all cost related and pharmacies don't want to order it and be out
