Experiences with

Sodium cromoglicate

I have MCAS and POTS (as well as autoimmune, ME/CFS, histamine intolerance and a raft of other conditions) and recently started on sodium cromoglicate. The outcome has been almost miraculous - the first medication of my many that seems to have had any real effect.

Apologies again for getting this off my chest. I hope you kind people will not mind as it helps to unload.

A few links to papers which have looked at the effects of excipients on levothyroxine. Notably lactose and all acidic excipients. One paper actually suggests that changing the standards is the appropriate way of handling an out-of-specification result. My view is that while they might be right about

Hi all. I have just been prescribed Duraphat toothpaste by the dentist, which contains 5000ppm of fluoride (as sodium fluoride). She wants me to use it once per day at bedtime and not rinse afterwards. I think I can remember something on here about too much fluoride having a negative effect with Hypothyroidism
