Low Sodium
Yesterday I had my usual blood test as I’m on methotrexate, today I had a phone call from the Doctors Surgery to say they have made me a Doctors Appointment for tomorrow as they needed to see me urgently as apparently it showed I have low sodium levels which was fine on my last blood test in September

Blood Test Results, Help please... Second Cortisol test still showing as borderline Cushing's .
Apologies, I posted earlier, to the wrong forum... I'm just not with it. Sorry 😞 It's been a long, long time since I posted.Much as happened; too much. After years of asking about a Cortisol test and being constantly denied by the male GPs who said it was only the remit of a consultant to authorise

B complex recommendation
Hi there, I have been using wild nutrition food source b complex which I was happy with but they have changed the formula to add iodine which I understand isn't good if you take Levothyroxine. Can anyone recommend an alternative "clean" supplement. Thanks X

Thyroidectomy
Hi there, I would really appreciate some advice from anyone that has had Graves disease/hyperthyroidism and had a total Thyroidectomy. I tried RAI back in Sept 2021 but it was unsuccessful and then caused TED. Diagnosed with Graves disease in Sept 2018 and have been taking Carbimazole ever since.

Ray Peat & Thyroid Wisdom
Hi all :) I've mentioned a few times on this forum that the Keto/carnivore diet is the reason for my devastating decline into overt hypothyroidism where I became unresponsive to synthetics. Since that time, I've used this forum as well as the teachings of American physiologist Ray Peat to educate myself

Self medicating again: Wanting to try changing 200mcg T4 to T4/T3 combo
Hi, I have had RAI so have to use full exogenous replacement. Currently on 200 mcg thyroxine. Tried armour, T4 only, but T4/T3 combo I never got right - I found my anxiety is unbearable. Trying to do it correctly this time. The fatigue and moodiness on T4 sucks, even though my endo says my labs are

Serum iodine test, UK
Has anyone in the UK had a serum iodine test and can recommend a postal test supplier? I had one 6y ago done by Doctors Lab via Blue Horizon but there is some doubt if it can be done via post (I await confirmation but seek options anyhow). I live well away from London where I believe it could be done

Gaviscon dilemma
Earlier this week I had a call from the pharmacist at my GP practice. He was calling to review my meds which seems to be the latest practise at my docs. I told him I had stopped Omeprazole and was just using Gaviscon at night to control acid reflux as it wasn't too bad at the moment and that I thought

Trying to understand appetite / cravings
I have an advanced background in human nutrition but am totally new to thyroid issues and am trying to understand something. I've noticed since I've been treated (T4 and T3 split tid) that at times I am hungrier than usual. I understand the increased metabolism from thyroid correction, but is there anything
