REPOST: chest heaviness won't leave
Hi, I had a long trip this Feb. After coming back, I had a bit of chest heaviness. It's not left but instead slowly getting worse. I've been calling cardiology, my GP, the BHF nurses, went to A&E and have had very little help. Honestly, right now, I don't care about figuring out what it is, I just

headache & wooziness, 5 weeks after steroid injection
Hello lovely community 😊 Can you help? About 5/6 weeks ago I had a steroid injection to help an RA flare, not for the first time… I have been having a blinder of a headache for at least a week and a disconcerting dizzy woozy feeling. Has anyone else experienced this as the steroid is coming to an

If Putin uses nuclear weapons, how can we treat radiation poisoning?
Potassium iodide is a salt tablet that helps block
radioactive
iodine
from being absorbed by the thyroid gland. Most nuclear accidents release
radioactive
iodine
, which is absorbed into the body.

Spirulina - any advice or experiences?
As you can see from previous posts, I have struggled to bring my iron and b vitamin levels up for a while, despite increasing my intake of both supplements...this has led me to look at spirulina as something that could possibly help, as there are quite a few reviews of this product from people saying

Stopping Cerazette
First time poster, but I’ve taken many tips from this board so thank you all in advance. 2 years ago I doubled over in agony, eventually got sent to A&E via my GP with suspected appendicitis. Wasn’t appendicitis, it was a haemorrhaging ovarian cyst. Sent home with painkillers, had a couple of scans and

Feedback on private Blood tests please, before my Endo appt..
I posted earlier this month asking for advice before I see my Endo at the end of November. I've not been feeling too great and my Endo put me on Hrt as my levels were all in range and he thinks my symptoms are perimenopausal rather than thyroid. (graves/Rai Oct 21) I feel it's a mixture of both. Hrt

Pain relief
Has anyone found any pain relief to be effective? I’ve tried so, so many and there’s not much left for me to try. I have a brilliant GP who is always happy to listen so I thought if anyone had found anything effective, then I could always suggest it. Currently prescribed naproxen and diclofenic suppositories

Last blood test it was at 5 on 100 levothyroxine. Just introduced a further 25 three times a week. As a result I am seriously struggling to cope with

Sky high Iodine result??
I posted previously and hopefully the link below will show that post. Bottom line is my partner was on 4 drops Lugols Iodine via patch test via Naturopath for thyroid, she felt worse with that treatment and stopt the iodine drops and the Naturopath on 15 Sept 22, we did a Genova urine iodine test on

Sugar
I have known for a long time that wine is a trigger for me. I decided to cut out sugar, not all carbs just sugar. The result is amazing. I still take 0.09 mirapexin (which hasn't worked on its own for years)I was adding Kratom, tramadol, codeine and still pacing the floor quite often. However now after

NDT Question
hi there, You guys were great at helping out before. I was having problems with thyroid……again. With my parents help I was able to go to a private endocrinologist and obtain Erfa NDT. So three months ago I started on half a grain in the morning, half in the afternoon. Felt great. Then we did some blood

Genetics Specialist??? Why?
Hey all! I hope all is well. So a bit of backstory. I am DX'd with Lupus (beginning stages but on Meds etc). I have had crazy reactions to CT Scan iodine which isnt that uncommon, however, when I do, it directly hits my feet (after shoulders and arms which goes away fast) and then I get the skin

Radioactive iodine alternatives?
I am struggling with letting the Endo perform a
radioactive
iodine
procedure to treat my Graves’ disease. The idea that my thyroid will be destroyed is unsettling. Has anyone had the procedure and has it helped. What is it like to have the procedure?

cannabis oil
hello I’m probably a bit thick but I know nothing about cannabis oil or gummies !! Never heard of them! Are they legal in the Uk? Are thus using good? I use pregabalin and codeine can cannabis be used in conjunction with these drugs are they any benefits? Would they react with blood thinner? Ie Apixaban
