Carbimazole & Antithyroid arthritis
Hello, I’m a 33 year old woman, I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid around 2months ago, was put on 15mg carbimazole a day. Started with a painful mouth ulcer so stopped medication & waited to see my consultant for advice as I didn’t know how bad the mouth ulcer had to be, he advised me to go back

Family planning treatment advice
I don't know if it's best to have

Iodine
treatment before hand or stick with medication, taking in to consideration the risks associated with each treatment. My thyroid levels at the moment are stable on 5mg carbamizole.

Iodine contrast injection for CT scan
Hi, Is anyone aware of this being problematic for people with Hypothyroidism? I do take Levothyroxine and am reasonably stable now.

Hi everyone I'm new here. I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia in January, I've been struggling for 3 years . I've had lots of tests, xrays, mri scans...nothing comes up!!. I'm on fluxotine, pregabalin, codeine and Naproxen. This is my second time applying for PIP and yet again I've been refused

Muscle Relaxers?
So I think we established that NSAIDs we’re no-gos, with Naproxen the least objectionable and codeine as a possibility for strong pain relief, and paracetamol/acetaminophen for regular pain relief. How about muscle relaxants? Are there any that are safe with Afib? Thanks so much!

Strange?
Yesterday I woke up feeling really rough, banging headache and nausea. I took some OTC paracetamol and codeine (12mg),one dose at 5 a.m and the last at 10.30 a.m. I do occasionally use this at night to help with RLS, but in this case I had nothing at all after 10.30 a.m. Yesterday evening I had an

Staying positive/ mind set
How do you keep going?! Until now my pain was manageable. But now nothing helps but codeine. I have 2 kids. I'm exhausted. I'm self employed so missing my work colleagues support network. Plan is to have a hysterectomy but can't have it for a year. I just feel very stuck. Are GPs supposed to help

High GGT Level
Morning All, so my GGT level is now up to 136 & my GP has requested a liver scan, I’m still waiting for the appointment. I’ve been virtually teetotal for 5 years, just the occasional drink on special occasions. I do/have taken a lot of paracetamol & codeine due to headaches from a previous brain operation

Ibuprofen with methotrexate and azathioprine
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am on methotrexate and reducing the azathioprine for my lupus. The trouble is I was told by the pharmacist she wouldn't give me ibuprofen as I was on the methotrexate. My rheumatologist said it was OK to take both so now I am confused. Is it safe or not

Hi everyone! I just stumbled across this website again and thought it may be a good place to seek advice from others who may have gone through similar events. So my story is a bit of an odd one. I’m 29 years old and I had always had heavier periods that were more on the painful side. But I was able

Possible CRPS?
I was diagnosed with Small Bowel Crohn’s Disease in the early 1970’s and had 18” of small intestine removed. I was on steroids for a while, then codeine for diarrhoea. Later diagnosed with Bile Salt Malabsorption. When I was around fifty the joint pain which I’d always suffered from since childhood began
