Sick from Ozempic
I started on Ozempic in May of 2023 with .25 for 1month. Then to .50 for a month, and finally to 1 mg against my better judgment for a month. Told my Endo that I wanted to go back to .50 dose per week. I gave myself one dose. Five days later, I started feeling sick to my stomach, and had a dull pain

Radiation Proctitis looking for advise please.
I am a 62 year old woman and had pelvic external beam radiotherapy for five weeks ending in March 2023. Since then I have had bowel problems, a bit of urinary incontinence, lymphedema and tingling like sensations in my legs. Bleeding from my anus became worse in December. I have since had a colonoscopy

anaemia and ADT
just had full blood test before I press on with ADT aiming for 18 months and done 9 months adjuvant with RT for G9 - as posted before my oncologist seems to lean to me stopping ADT now as worries about the effect in my polio - though she isn’t a polio expert of course, she just thinks the extra gain

Several symptoms pointing to kidney issue ?
Hi all, new to this forum :) I'm 50y old male thin body, I've noticed that after eating certain foods, my blood pressure starts rising. For instance I did eat roasted peanuts (no salt) 2oz/day for several weeks, blood pressure went from 110 to 145. Stopped eating them, in two weeks bp went back to 110

Low fT4, but midrange fT3. Feeling cold, brain fog.
Hi there, male, 64, fit, no problems besides this: for about 3 years I´m having symptoms like feeling cold, brain fog, and most things one would consider to be low thyroid function. I did a lot of blood tests in the last year. Most values are ok. Zinc, Vit B, Selen etc. has all been tested ok, too

Ketogenic/Paleo diet
I have been following a ketogenic diet with very little dairy. It is very low carb and I've lost weight and generally feel better on it. However, a recent blood test showed that I have a low sodium level. Whilst I do season food I don't eat any processed food, so no crisps, savoury snacks etc. that

Over range copper and zinc
The only culprit I can think of is milk thistle. Any thoughts on over range copper and zinc? About a 10 months ago, zinc was low-ish and copper slightly over so I supplemented zinc for a short while but stopped a couple of months ago. Then the week before last started with milk thistle for liver support

for the collective wisdom please: Radio iodine ablation 13/12/19 21/11/23 Mono treatment T4 @ 175mcg TSH below range FT3 5.23 (3.5-6.8) FT4 16.8 (7.8-18) Doctor reduced dose to 150! Without consultation My 2 cents: TSH not relevant still only mid range FT3. So need combined T3/T4 treatment.

T3 Trial continued
Medichecks 20 March 2024 History:
Hypothyroid (after RAI in c2004)
Spent 2023 improving folate, B12, Vit D although ferritin still poor. Came off PPIs and now take Gaviscon twice daily. Gastritis issues ongoing though. Officially a poor converter (dud DIO2) so really wanted to try T3 Gluten
