Overwhelming Pain (I am new)
First, my screen name, say it like this `eye see you a lot`! I have had kyphoscoliosis, which causes overwhelming pain in my lower back. Recently I had Radio Frequency denervation, it did not work. I have also suffered for a long time with pain in joints, muscle weakness, and spasms, headaches, upset

I hate my GP - making me feel like a drug addict
Just came off the telephone with the third GP I have spoken to in the last few months. I asked her to prescribe me either Tramadol or Codeine as the only thing helping me at the minute is taking shop bought Co-codamol and Nurofen Plus. I have tried Pramipexole and also now on Gabapentin 900mg. She said

Blood test results help tsh 189.95
Blood test results help. Please can someone help explain my blood test results. Drs don't want to even discuss anything on the phone! My previous blood test said I had an abnormal tsh with normal t4. Previously I was taking iodine but I stopped doing that. Previously my results showed Tsh 148.33

Lap yesterday
Hi everyone! So I had my lap yesterday and my consultant said she found some endometriosis but didn’t tell me where! She said it’s stage 2 and I will have a telephone conversation to go over it in more detail. She did diothermy to kill the tissue and said it went well. I had to stay in because I was

Disappointing hospital visit
I’m absolutely gutted. I asked to see the specialist endo that was on the list of endos provided by thyroid UK and I didn’t get to see him. I’m hypo following RAI in 2011 and my health has got much worse within last couple of years or so. Last test results in the photo. (B12 range 200-900) So apparently

My nightmare after taking Amitriptyline
I had never heard of Amitriptyline until my doctor suggested I take 1 every night to help with lower back pain....the only thing she really said was make sure to take it at night as it will make you sleepy..."Fair enough." I said and I left with my new medication to add to the collection. I am already

Can't Find Accurate Description of Liothyronine (T3)
Yikes! I have been searching on Google for an accurate description of the drug liothyronine. So far, nearly all of the sites describe it this way: "Liothyronine is a man-made form of a hormone that is normally produced by your thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism. Liothyronine

Iodine salt pipe
Hi, I've just read about the issue with iodine and hypothyroidism. So I'm waiting for more tests but initial ones indicate central hypothyroidism and apart from weight gain, I have a lot of symptoms. Thinking I may have covid 19 in the spring, I followed advice on Dr Myhills website about iodine inhalation

Colonoscopy
Another question Can I take mebeverine and buscopan before a colonoscopy? It says on letter to stop taking Imodium, codeine phosphate & lomotil 5 days before but doesn’t mention mebeverine and buscopan!

Augmenting on everything
Hi, I've been on codeine phosphate 60mg for the past 6 months and it's been fantastic but once again I seem to be augmenting on it, I've augmented on everything, tramadol, dopamine agonists, etc.. I really thought codeine was going to work this time, iron supplements really helped over the past 2 years

Bit of a rant! I’m so disheartened by lack of care.
3 years ago a nodule was discovered on my thyroid during various scans for breast cancer. I opted to see an endocrinologist privately just so I could get away on holiday. I had blood tests and a biopsy and was diagnosed with sub clinical thyrotoxicosis. The option was given of monitoring with blood tests

Home remedy/self-care suggestions for tension headaches
For the past five days I’ve been suffering really badly from this self induced tension headache. Which initially started from trying to get through to the GP for other reasons. But I’ve been trying all my usual methods: applying a cold compress, drinking Ginger tea, taking a bath, And have been avoiding

If it ain’t broke?????
Hi, I’m new to this forum and seeking people’s view on my position... I’ve had an over active thyroid since I was 19 I’m now 43, I just have carbimazole ( varying dose depending on if I’ve had a break) currently on 20mg. I’ve spent my whole adult life feeling absolutely fine, just taking 1 tablet a day

Been to hormone specialist...not sure what to think?!
I am new here, but not new to thyroid problems. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2001 after years of symptoms no doctor could explain: high blood pressure difficult to control even with medication, hair loss, high cholesterol, weight gain and fluid retention. Doctors suggested I was eating too much
