Atrophied Kidney
Hi there I had a CT scan of my lower back as I keep getting sharp back pain that is relieved after a bowel movement. No sign of kidney stones I have small scared kidneys and life time uti's (age 49) It says my left kidney is Atrophied. My doctor had said that my kidney function of 66 is fine

Chemo side effects and opioid intolerance
Hi all. This is my first post. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer in September and have just had my first chemo. I have had chronic pains in my legs that normal painkillers haven't touched. I'm opioid intolerant but took codeine an hour after metoclopramide hoping this would work but sadly

ropinerole
I have suffered from rls on and off for 40 years. 5 years ago it became unbearable. The doctor prescribed 1mg ropinerole at night. A miracle! From the first dose I had a full night's sleep. However, within a few months my legs were aching badly and keeping me awake at night. Spoke to a pharmacist

Iodine supplements
Hi. I have been on thyroxine for several years and generally well but still suffer with hair loss. My blood tests are fine including B vits and Iron I found a thyroid support formula which seemed to help but it has iodine in it. Can anyone explain why iodine supplementation is not recommended.

Despairing spouse
Hoping someone out there can help. Will try and keep it short. My husband is on levothyroxine following RAI in 2006. Six months ago he was absolutely fine, a bit overweight with a hearty appetite. Possibly because of this he suffered intermittently with reflux. In June he started taking lansoprazole

NDT in the UK
Ok, so I am a little confused (doesn't take much 😅) I happened to mention that NDT isn't licensed in the UK on a FB group I am on for RAI and Graves disease. A lady in the states said its now "legal" in the UK and posted a link to the Thyroid UK website which states this: American and Canadian brands

iodine? Or not?
I am thinking of getting supplements to help my general all round health but was just offered iodine at a health store. Didn't think it was wise to take Iodine when on thyroid meds. Can anyone advise me please?

Oncology ENT referral
At the end of June (25th) I started to have terrible ear ache. I tested positive for covid a couple of days later. As soon as I was negative, I went to the doctor. My ear canal was incredibly swollen. I got an antibiotic and anti fungal ear spray. It didn’t go away so I got another course of the spray

List of sympathetic Endochronologists?
Hi I had RAI and currently on T4/T3 combo. I have been getting a private prescription from my GP for the T3 as in 2018 she said our PCC wouldn’t fund it. She is now retiring and my new GP wants to refer me to an Endo to discuss the need for T3 as I have possibly been having heart arythmia recently

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 4
So today (Thursday), it was solo flight day. The PD nurse had me go through the entire connection procedure (which I will document once I get it all typed up this weekend) myself. No major mistakes other than spilling some iodine from the Cap onto my pants (learned to put something over my pants when

Codeine with paracetamol
I am suffering from sciatic pain which started back in June. I managed to get a GP telephone consultation, and have been prescribed 10 mg Amytripteline , along with a combined cedeine and paracetamol. The latter has helped,but only when I take it. I would like to know if anyone has taken codeine
