Hi, my question relates to home thyroid test kits (advanced) are they accurate? More info re this choice of action below :-)
My mother has a thyroid condition, and some other female family members too, I've had loads of exasperating and worsening symptoms over last four years but my gp will only test TSH and FT4. My symptoms are constant and some of them worsen periodically. To name but a few, dry eyes, very dry skin on body

Does anyone suffer Constipation? Whats the best treatment?
Hi, I'm always constipated and I've tried eating extra fibre and eating more healthy but nothing seems to work, I saw my GP a couple of days ago and he gave me milk of magnesia and Senna tablets, nothing has worked yet (I'm impatient!) I was just wondering if anyone has found something that works good

Gastroscopy / colonoscopy on Saturday!
Thought I would blog today. I saw a GE (gastroenterologist) Consultant on 5 Feb. Didn't really feel that confident after the meeting. 20 minutes of talk, and then he dictated his letter to my GP for 10 minutes. Not had that experience before and over the last 3 years been going to the Nuffield Orthopaedic

Is Senna gluten-free?
We've been invaded by threadworms! Apparently 4:10 kids have them. I chose the OTC anti-worm medicine that had the least number of ingredients. My son, who was diagnosed as a coeliac last year became very unwell after taking the medicine. He started vomiting and got diarrhoea and the ambulance had to

Do steroids cause constipation?
Since starting on fairly high-dose steroids a couple of weeks ago, I seem to be getting constipated. Is there a link? Right pain if there is, having spent years getting chronic constipation more or less under control! If the steroids ARE causing the constipation, I can deal with that, especially

Confused about flare ups.
Hi I have been following blogs for a few weeks now. A little confused about flare ups etc. I was diagnosed 2 years ago at the time I couldn't lift a cup or clean teeth and could hardly walk. I have been in agony with pain and muscle fatigue ever since. Almost 2 years to the day I had felt this way

I'm new to this site, my first ever blog
I was diagnosed with fibro about 5 years ago, infact I had to have 3 diagnosis as I never believed the first two, how could I be in this much pain, with no real cause??? I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that my life has changed completely and I will never get to do all the things I used to.

It excludes foods that are harmful to your health and aggravate chronic pain (i.e., Five C’s: cookies, cakes, chocolate, cocktails and candy. Other foods to avoid are internal organ
