Vaccine and Prolonged Diarrhea
I had the bivalent Covid vaccine on 27 December (my fifth vaccine). I had noticed in the last couple of years that about two weeks after each vaccine, my bowels acted up a bit but they subsided after taking Normix. But ever since 10 January, which was two weeks after this bivalent vaccine,

Mental function disappearing
Hello, please could I ask for your advice. I've had Hashimotos around a decade. Recently I cannot seem to get my dose around the sweet spot for TSH of 1. Last blood test it was at 5 on 100 levothyroxine. Just introduced a further 25 three times a week. As a result I am seriously struggling to cope with

Has any hypothyroidism or Hashimotos patient tried apillean weight loss supplement?
It can cost £50 to £100 per small tub in some places but it's selling but you can make this yourself at home. Alternatively according to this female doctor I spoke to at pub She said"You can use coffee instead of guarana, you can use nori seaweed if tolerated or kelp or tiny amount of wakame or if

Bloods results help please
I went to see my private endo 3 weeks ago and he asked for loads of bloods. I'll post them below but I'm confused as my previous tests on 07/10 showed TSH 2.89 (range 0.35-5.5 um/L) and free T4 14.3 pmol/L (range 10.5-21) - those were done by GPThe last bloods were done on 9/11 at di only a month later

Antidepressants and other meds
Hi all, especially Sue who I'm hoping can help. I have at last had blood tests which showed my levels were around 50, which she said wasn't that low, but I'm now on Iron 200mg a day, havibg another blood test in January. Also my sodium levels were little low so was told to use more salt on my food.

RAI or continue on Carbimazole?
Does anyone know the long term risks of staying on Carbimazole? I have been told that the Radioiodine treatment is the gold standard of treatment, but the articles online talk about increased risks of cancers. I am on 5mg Carbimazole and have been for 5 and a half years, with 3 monthly blood tests. Twice

Genetics Specialist??? Why?
Hey all! I hope all is well. So a bit of backstory. I am DX'd with Lupus (beginning stages but on Meds etc). I have had crazy reactions to CT Scan iodine which isnt that uncommon, however, when I do, it directly hits my feet (after shoulders and arms which goes away fast) and then I get the skin

iodised salt?

The iodine question
Hello, I am pondering on iodine supplementation. The b-complex I used it buy have changed the formula to add iodine so I am trying another one. However my nutritionist friend has incouraged me to have some iodine as it is important for healthy breast tissue and ovaries. I am also reading The Period Repair

Continued debate on iodine testing

blood tests and DXA scan
Following blood tests and a DXA scan I finally have results from the Endo. Re scan it states: T-scores have been reported as -1.3 at the left neck of fear and -1.9 at the lumbar spine. The calculated 10 years probability of a major osteoporotic fracture and that of a hip fracture is below intervention

blood test results
hi everyone I’m just going through my last lot of blood results.. ESR 1mm/hr Neutrophils 8.10 (2.1 - 7.4) Lymphocyte count 0.98 (1 - 3.6) Sodium 128 (should be 135+). Are these anything to be concerned about? My GP wasn’t worried - but just said he’ll recheck the sodium in December 🤔 (Apparently

Blood Test results, advice please. Hyperthyroid, Graves.
Details of blood tests since August 2021 shown. I was diagnosed as Hyperthyroid at that time with Graves confirmed by TSH ral, not tested since. Testing for vitamin levels at that time were all normal. My GP requested I have a blood test done earlier this month following a request for a repeat prescription

Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could
