laparoscopy NHS waiting time
Hi, I had my appointment with a specialist last week, and it went better than I expected. She went through everything with me, all my symptoms and everything I've tried to do to relieve the pain. She said as the meds given to me for PCOS were ineffective, she thinks its endo and has booked me in for

What should I do?
I had RAI on 08/31/2021 due to swallowing issues. My latest labs were drawn on 02/02/2022 and are as follows: TSH 9.31 (.465-4.68) T4 .54 (.78-2.19) T3 3.7 (2.8-5.3) I had been on 5 mg Methimazole since early December. I saw an NP and I think she's a fairly new graduate. She wanted me to cut the

Reducing pregabalin
I'm down to 175mgs pregabalin. Every time I reduce I have a terrible night. I'm sure it does nothing for me and it's the tramadol that stops the feeling. But not always. I try not to take tram every day so I take 1 OTC ibobrufen and codeine +Kratom a couple of times a week. I read about the doctor in

How do you cope with stomach/colon cramping?
I have started to get them more frequently, and they are excruciatingly painful to the extent that I have no choice but to lie down for the rest of the day and hope it somewhat passes by the following day (just for it to come back a couple of days later). Even sitting up can be very uncomfortable!

Poor nail quality
Does anyone else have extremely poor nail quality? My nails are in a terrible condition..if they grow 1 mm, they split and break. They look like I do 15 hours of manual labour a day. I have considered acrylic nails but think that would only make matters worse. This is accompanied by increased hair

Levothyroxine absorption variability??
Hi all, my GP had recently written to my Endo with evidence to suggest that i'm not converting T4 to T3 very well since RAI. I had provided my GP with all of my blood tests prior to RAI and prior to going back on block and replace to show a comparison of what my "normal levels" were before being solely

Cough and methotrexate
I have a very tight chesty cough that is stopping me sleeping as I can't stop coughing when I lie down. I increased my methotrexate last week to 25 mg injections from tablets. Don't think this has anything to do with the cough but does anyone know what I can take to help or suppress it? Codeine suppresses

Elevated TSH despite its suppression
I had papillary thyroid cancer 4 years ago with local lymph node metastases. I had a complete thyroidectomy and underwent radio iodine therapy. I take a high dose of T4 and normally my TSH level is 0.5 or below. In two recent blood tests my TSH was around 6mcUI/ml, just above and below, and T4 was at

Making rls manageable, a continuing story
I have had quite bad rls for the last two years and over time, very little sleep. However I have tried to persevere without drugs, although my GP has prescribed low dose codeine (15mg) which helped at first but I now try not to take. My rls is currently much better. It hasn’t gone away but it’s sort

Suddenly Hyperthyroid again
I had RAI in 2000 when I was severely hyper. I was put on 150mcgs and did well on that dose with no issues for 20 years. Went gluten free a few years ago. All of a sudden became severely hyper again with a TSH of 0.002 So they lowered me to 137mcgs. Still hyper with 0.09. During that time I had panic

AF Ablation at London Bridge
Hi guys, after being diagnosed with AF 18 months ago and two Cardioversions, I had an ablation at London Bridge yesterday which now has me in Sinus Rhythm with a nice strong beat. I’d been in persistent AF for 7 months, so had my doubts wrt a successful outcome, seemed to be 50/70% chance. The team
