Prep For Thyroid Blood Test?
Hi folks. I’m sending off a blood test next Monday for FT3, FT4, TSH, anti-Tg, anti-TPO and want to prepare properly for taking the bloods. I’ve taken in doing it before 9am, drink only water. But unsure about vits, I’m taking Fish Oil, magnesium, B Complex, D3+K. I also SI B12. I think I heard one

#1 Symptom Reducer
I am a PwP and 56 years old. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all of the information, sometimes conflicting, out there regarding treatments and supplements. I am trying to determine what to try first. I am a predominantly tremor parkie. I exercise regularly & eat well. I take levadopa 25/100 4x a day.

Rasagiline/Azilect?
Hi ! My hwp (77) diagnosed 2017. But of course with hindsight symptoms manifested earlier. Started C/L last year : 25/100 @ 3 times a day. Azilect 1 mg once a day . Walking became a really serious problem a month ago. Partly because of ongoing "sciatica" but also freezing a few times a day. Two weeks

Edoxoban Update
I recently posted that my Cardiologist had put me on Edoxoban 30mg daily, instead of Aspirin which I had been taking for years. He said the Edoxoban was both safer, and unlike Aspirin would prevent the risk of stroke. A day after starting Edoxoban, I either came down with a cold, or allergy symptoms

Dry eye syndrome - and castor oil!
Some weeks ago someone posted they were using castor oil for dry eyes. I was rather sceptical that that was a good idea - it sounded as if they were putting it IN their eyes. Anyway - today I got a notification of this study of castor oil as a potential natural remedy for dry eyes: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com

My Tumour is shrinking
I am at the end of chemo cycle. In August my tumour was 1cm after I had the MRI. So 80% removed from right side of my brain. I have gone to 1cm to 1.5cm. In the three MRI's. My latest one has shunk so much I think it is now a 1/4 in size, comparing August mri to this mri. I am so pleased. I have

RA overlap just diagnosed. Who else? Tips?
I have had PBC since 2009. I have just been diagnosed with overlap rheumatoid arthritis. UGH! I know some of you have too. Would appreciate any tips. Unfortunately for me because of both PBC and the fact I am allergic to sulpha the list of medications is small. Starting with hydroxicholriquine.

First IVF Cyle - Endo sufferer - What should I be doing to prepare?
Hi All! Just looking for some advice about what to do prior to a IVF cycle. Bit of background… I have stage 4 endometriosis, kissing ovaries, 5cm cyst on one ovary and a small fibroid. My partner and I have been TTC for 6 years. The years of lack of success led to a lot of weight gain as I took

second time lucky ?
Can I hope for a totally different result? Has anyone gone from NOTHING first round and then had a decent result on the second round? As I approach my second nhs icsi cycle I’m anxious, nervous and hopeful that I will get a better result this time. We collected three eggs which were quite small

Citicoline Warning
Citicoline and choline contain the trimethylamine structure which can be detached by gut bacteria into standalone trimethylamine. Trimethylamine is toxic. Excessive intake of choline results in a dramatic increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease. My writing on this subject here: https://tinyurl.com

If you're trying to follow Dr. Mischley's DHA for dyskinesia protocol, please read this REGARDING DOSING
EDITING TO ADD: Dr. M says (right at the beginning of the video) that fish oils are often contaminated with heavy metals, and that many supplements don't contain the levels of active components that they claim to contain. She recommends the (relatively expensive) Pharmax oil because she believes it's

Odd things that you learn...
So I had my pre-op checks a couple of weeks back, today was due to sign consent forms, chat with pharmacy etc but it got postponed. Pharmacy then phones a bit later to discuss when to stop my cocktail, so we have a mix of 1, 2 & 3 days before except for 1 one, my over the counter Omega 3 fish oil. I

Request for Information
Request for Information Hi from the UK, I take trihexyphenidyl (2 mg 2 x day) I want to take Citicoline but I’m sure I read somewhere that the two are not compatible as one stops the other from working. I’d be very glad if anyone has any experience of this. I am twenty years in and have been taking

Ear dilema
Hi folks 💛 I recently followed some bad advice and put warmed, diluted tea tree oil in my slightly clogged, itchy ear not realising that Tea Tree can be Ototoxic to the Cochlear. I diluted 3 drops of Tea Tree oil in 30ml of Olive oil and put 0.5 ml in my ear. I let it sit there for around 10 minutes

Cod Liver Oil Supplements with Prednisolone
Been on prednisolone (UK) since 01/11/2022. I'm currently taking 3mgs/4mgs on alternate days. 3mgs was too much for me. Anyway if on pred, can we take cod liver oil supplements please? The tablets are ginormous so my husband has bought the liquid. Don't want to start unless it's OK to do so. Any opinions

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit
