AMD Injection Procedure
This is based on a response I gave to a regular poster that I think may be of more general interest, especially to those who have not yet had an injection or who are experiencing post injection discomfort. Note that the following applies to wet AMD only. I’ve been having injections for wet AMD for

Keto, Eggs and PD Meds
So I decided that Keto was the way forward. Tried it when I was first DXed for 4 weeks but didn’t help. I probably expected too much in too little time. Anyway, 7 years later and I’m ready for the ‘big push’. Got my larder full of erithytol, almond flour, Keto snacks, MCT oil. Yesterday I had a breakfast

4 Year Old Stool Withholding
Hi there, my daughter is almost 4 and has stool withheld for around 2 years. She’s on laxido and a stimulant laxative. This has consumed our lives and I am absolutely miserable. My daughter is undergoing an autism assessment - speech and language delay being one of her traits amongst a fair few others

blood group and being listed
my partner is at the very early stage of transplant assessment and today our transplant co-ordinator has told him that based on his current bloods and his blood group (A) she expects that if he were to be listed for transplant it would be a wait of weeks rather than months. He is actually not hugely

Heart rate over 100. Should I lower or up my Levo??
Hi I was wondering if someone had any advice on whether or not I should lower or up my Levo dose? I had upped from 100mg to 112.5 mg beginning of June, but my heart-rate just keeps going over 100bpm when I’m not doing anything. I’m still tired and feel as if I just can’t be bothered. I’ve been sitting

worried about weight gain
Hi this is the 3rd time I've had graves disease in 9 years! I'm just wondering if my consultant will try to push me to have RAI this time as I was told I couldn't be on medication too long or often last time. Also I've worked really hard this year to lose lockdown weight & I'm worried about gaining

Hi - my 17 year old daughter has been experiencing hair loss and hair thinning. She attributed it to having got Cold but that was over a year ago now. She is stressed with all the A level work she has to do and trying to do well so that she goes to the university of her choice which requires high grades

I would like to see a discussion of T4 & T3 Conversion. I believe I was dx with Hypothyroid and placed on Levo that made me sick.
Out of the blue on a random PE lab I was dx with hypothyroid because of an elevated TSH. I had no sx and had been walking 2 miles 3 times a week, eating reasonably well no junk or fast food pretty much ever, not a big water drinker. After 4 3/4 years of feeling like how they describe amphetamine users

Low iodine diet?
Much advice here to be careful to not add iodine supplements to diet with hypothyroid- but taking this a step further should we not all be careful to cut back on all the foods with the most iodine eg fish and prawns etc I read an article from someone who actively advises clients to cut back on these
