WE'RE MISSING SOMETHING
IODINE! How does the T4 convert to T3 without iodine? They have taken the iodine out of just about everything and for no reason? I believe I am going to start dosing my own iodine? Why the hell not? And, why haven’t I been dosing it? Am I wrong or am I right? Do we or do we not need iodine to get the

1st admission & trying to make sense of it all
What a 24hrs it has been! After worsening symptoms and trying to treat at home I ended up in a&e. I was met with the same you’re talking, no wheeze & o2 maintaining. Instead this time I was like no I don’t always wheeze! They actually listened to me ( which was surprising) so a senior dr came along and

AKI ... Contrast Induced
Good morning! Can anyone tell me how long an AKI lasts and whether, after a certain length of time, it becomes Chronic Kidney Disease!? I had a heart attack 2 months ago and required Angiography & stenting. A week or so later, it was found that I had suffered an AKI due to the contrast dye used during

Alternatives for sweets
I have long been a low carb dieter, and the fats I'd eatch are the healthy fats (avocados/nuts, etc) as well as the protein I'd eat are lean meats, eggs and protein shakes. I also cut down my carbs to mostly veggies and for a snack, popcorn, healthy popped/low salt/no butter. My one guilty pleasure is

Actemra and weight
I've been on Actemra for about a year. Been off it for a few weeks because of tooth extraction and rheumatologist wants me to restart. RX insert and other research says most biologics and more specifically tocilizumab (Actemra) causes weight gain. I lost significant weight while so sick with GCA even

Prednisolone side effects
Hi everyone I have asthma which has worsened since I was ill with suspected Covid at the end of November. I was on a 5 day course of 30mg of prednisolone which improved things and my breathing was basically back to normal after 2 weeks. I then caught a cold and since then have had very tight chest despite

LCHF without dairy?
Hi there, I’m currently calorie counting which I find fits with family life because I can eat the same meals as wife and kids. Interested in exploring LCHF but I have a dairy intolerance (that’s a big part of why I dismissed it as an option months ago). Wondering if anyone does LCHF without cheese,

Itchy lungs
This might sound a bit random but please bear with me! Has anyone ever experienced a feeling of their lungs feeling really irritable and like they are itchy/twitchy inside? I’ve been on pred for a week as my asthma was flaring and peak flow was dropping (the pred got it back into the green zone). Since

Staying low carb in a high carb world
I have had great success with going low carb, and sad to say I think my greatest ally in this has been coronavirus. I started December 2019, on what I first thought was going to be a diet (as in something I do for awhile and then stop) and allowed myself to break my own rules at social events. So, over

Anti-inflammatory diet
I am relatively new to this site and think it is great! I read a couple of posts every day with great interest. I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2020 after a couple of months of excruciating pain in my shoulders. My GP pretty quickly suspected it and confirmed it with a short course of Pred (15 mg

Anyone celebrating Burns Night?
25th of January is a traditional feast day in Scotland (Robert Burns' birthday), celebrated with haggis, tatties and neeps. And scotch. Haggis is a meaty treat, full of organ meats, so very nutritious. It also has oatmeal, so it's surprisingly high carb, 18g/100g which is more than the tatties (potatoes

Study examining liquid/soft gel T4 therapy against solid tablets
This study has concentrated on bioequivalaence of soft gel and liquid T4 formulations but also remarks on solid tablet T4 uptake and fasting. Not a great paper but I simply append the summary to show their conception of how to take T4 in its various forms:
