Dr Toft has retired.
Hello everyone. After six weeks of feeling very ill . Excruciatingly pain exhaustion migraine etc I decided to make a appointment with Dr Toft. Dr Toft has now retired and in his place is a lady called Dr A. Wow what a breath of fresh air. She treats on a person centred listen to the patient view.

MD Anderson/Mayo or Peter MacCallum for treatment?
Hi all, My husband is just diagnosed with CLL with WBC at 49, Platelet at 77, enlarged spleen 20 cm and enlarged liver 17 cm. 70% lymphocytes in bone marrow. The FISH test is not available yet until next week so the treatment plan is also not available. But seem that he’s on Stage IV under RAI classification

Opinion on TENS Machine
Hi everyone, So unfortunately Codeine just isn't doing anything for me anymore except just making me high and tired. Pain relief is non-existant. I really don't want to go on tramadol or anything stronger as I just won't be able to do my job. I was thinking about trying a TENS Machine, and I have an

My situation (a rant)
Okay, so last year I had an operation that was meant to solve a long-standing pain-related gynae problem and I had 18 months of peace, and the only time it was problematic during a period, but I thought it was normal as I've always had painful periods. Something I never thought I'd get - that is of course

Answers please!
I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few years ago and was proscribed 25mg of Levothryoxine along with 50mg of Zoloft. I eventually upped to 50mg on the Levo and did fine until April of this year and was upped to 75mg as I had put on weight and was lacking iodine in my diet. (I’m still so new this

Extreme TRAB levels (2577 iu/L)
Extreme TRAB levels. Hello all. I am being treated for severe Graves disease. I had I131 treatment three months ago. Since then, my TRAB levels have increased to 2577 I/L (from 40 and 255 prior to iodine treatment. TRAB should be less than 0.55, so I am tracking at around 5000 times (the maximum) normal

Appointment with surgeon
Hi I have my appointment with the surgeon tomorrow and just wondered what to expect/ask. I have been referred by my endo as he asked me if I wanted surgery or RAI, even though he was trying to push me towards RAI i eel that surgery might be best. Just wondered what sort of questions I should ask. Thanks

Has anyone successfully treated an iodine deficiency please?
Hi I've been taking a drop of iodine as advised, for 6 months to correct an iodine deficiency (38). Just previous to that my FT4 was 16 and tsh 3.6ish, so I was considered borderline underactive thyroid. My iodine level has only raised to 41, so have managed to find a liquid that has different ingredients

Pain relief
Hi guys! Im after some advise and guidance on pain relief, I have extreme pains including severe sciatica with my endometriosis. I tried a TENS machine but this made things worse and heat therapy is becoming less and less effective unless I'm burning my skin (more of a distraction from the pain). In

Does anyone know of a Certified Gluten, Dairy, Yeast, Soya and IODINE FREE multivitamin available without breaking the bank please? 🤔😊
I am looking for a multivitamin (not necessarily mineral as well) without all the above, but can't seem to find one. I don't want to have to buy loads of individual supplements as I already pay out enough due to self medicating. I would gratefully appreciate any help on this. I have purchased several
