imodium
Hi, just wondering if other people are using imodium to control symptoms. I want to take just one a day to slow things down a bit and keep weight on. One doctor in the early stages of my illness said not to take, in case it causes an infection. However after diagnosis another doctor told me to go ahead

Lamictal or Duloxetine
Hi I have long qt so can't take many meds. Took anitriptyline for years but had to come off I also have migraine aura and nerve disturbances. Neurologist reckons it's sodium channels. A short trial on gabapentin low dose worsened my depression. At least I got a little sleep though. So now I have insomnia

Is she constipated?
Hi. My 9 year old a couple of years ago was impacted. Went through the regime of movicol and sodium picosulfate and then started to wean her off of it. Last month or so she’s been running back and forth to the toilet all the time. Sometimes every 10 minutes she’s in there. She says she needs a poo. When

Is fasting necessary for NDT?
Is there the same fasting requirement with synthetic T4 as with NDT? The author of "Tired Thyroid" say that synthetic levothyroxine sodium requires gastric acid to cleave off the sodium ion to get thyroxine but that natural dessicated thyroid comes already as thyroxine and requires less acid. Therefore

Breathlessness while on Keppra
I started with Epilepsy about 4 years ago and eventually the fits settled on Keppra having tried both Lamotragine and sodium valporate. After 3 years on 1000 mg per day split into 2 doses, I suffered a really bad reaction to the Keppra- intense nausea, bad back ache and dreadful confusion and the dose

I got my energy back and got rid of all the symptoms...
I got rid of my symptoms when I got enough potassium. It took me some time to find out (browsing research results on pubmed) that one of the reasons hyperthyroidism can be dangerous is that high levels of thyroid hormone depletes the body of potassium. Together with the fact that many of the side effects

Can anyone help me interpret / argue my blood results to my GP?
Hi, I had a full run of bloods last week which have all been signed off as "satisfactory" by the GP. This doesn't solve anything, as I'm still so exhausted that I sleep through 3 alarms including a sunlight alarm clock every morning and can barely keep my eyes open all day. I'd be really grateful

Fluoxetine severe reaction and withdrawals

Please help with return of symptoms - GP says he has no explanation
I was diagnosed in March 2018 Blood test TSH level 5.1 I was given 50 micro grams of Levothyroxine. This made me feel a lot less tired and all my other symptoms went. I stopped putting weight on but still couldn’t lose any. I felt like I could have benefited from a tiny bit more Levothyroxine but blood

Chronic Diarrhea, potential IBS?? Advice please as doctors aren’t helping!
Hi there, I’m not sure if anyone can help me here but I’m struggling a lot with Diarrhea. Since the first week of jan this year I’ve had an ‘urgent’ feeling of needing to go to the toilet. I’m a nanny and have to take the children to school at 7:40am and it’s usually around 8am mid-drive that it kicks
