IM IN A STATE OF CONFUSION! I desperately need help to understand and actions to take following recent blood results.
My GP reduced my levo thyroxine from 100mcg to 75mcg, at beginning of March, as my TSH was 0.13 (0.27-4.2)..... T4 was21.1 (12-22) T3 was 4.9 (3.1-6.8) Of course he thinks that TSH is the most important reading , 😡 and I hadn’t the energy to dispute it . Was supposed to be retested in 6 weeks but

Docetaxal is considered ineffective due to a rising PSA. 4 sessions completed a increase of 2.7 to 9.3 now leap frogging to a phase 1 trial
I am not sure how things accelerated to a phase one harpoon clinical trial. According to my oncologist, and my new prostate doc they believe based on the trouble some PSA increase it may be time to explore other options. I suggested 3 potential ideas that I had thought were possible options parp inhibitor

Low sodium
Hi everyone, apparently I have low sodium levels and my GP wants me to limit my fluid intake to under 2litrs a day, preferably 1.5 . I have issues with this. What does anyone else think/ know? I would be grateful for help ☺

Reintroduction of gluten into my diet and possible iodine deficiency
Hi everyone, Following on from my post about 4 months ago and suggestions made in reply by SlowDragon and Greygoose, I reintroduced gluten into my diet as an experiment after more than two years of being gluten-free. The plan was to see if I felt any different and if my antibodies would go up again -

tinnitus and hypothyroidism
Has anybody gotten tinnitus after RAI? Over the years, mine started mildly, disappeared, returned and now it's very loud. I've recently upped my dose of Tirosint from 75 to 88 mcg, thanks to great advice I got here. Is that a cause and it will pass? Could it be due to a vitamin deficiency? Anxiously

Planning a pregnancy with bipolar disorder
Hi all, My partner and I have decided to start trying for a baby towards the end of this year (as I need to come off of sodium valproate before trying). I've had a diagnosis of bipolar 1 since I was seventeen, and am now twenty-five. I've had some very general discussions with my psychiatrist about pregnancy

Breakfast recommendations
My mom seems to be recovering well since she had placed her catheter in. She’s walking around more and less pain. I feel a lot lighter emotionally since, I’ve joined this community and I have you all to thank! I’m curious to see what are some good options for breakfast? For someone that is also diabetic

Watery bathroom trips
Hi all x I have IBS-D which I manage through a gluten free diet and try to avoid certain fodmaps - this has got rid of the cramping etc. However if I don’t take an Imodium weekly, I’ll have watery frequent bowel movements - Even after taking my Imodium I am still able to have a BM each day so that’s

What to eat?
I must admit, the pandemic has gotten me into a bit of stress eating. I'm not proud of what I have been eating and am afraid to tell my clinic. Hard to figure out what to eat with all the sodium, phosphorus, potassium restrictions. Found this twitter feed useful. http://twitter.com/stock_my_pantry
