Is my only answer RAI or a thyroidectomy?
Hello everyone. I am a 32 year old female and have been on Carbimazole for the last 9 months for Graves’ disease. For the last 5 months or so I have been struggling to get the thyroid under control and have had my dosage yo-yo from 20mg to 15 to 30 to 20 to 40 to 20...! My latest bloods showed my Trab

Constant bouts of Itching
I was diagnosed as to having PMR just under 3 years ago. Currently reducing from 7.5mg /day to 7.0mg/day, using DSNS taper schedule, as I have had problems at this level before, and had to increase the dosage back up again. For the last year or so, I have suffered with extreme bouts of itching, and

Dietitian today
Hi I have had Ibs for many years, my diet is really bad. I am also vegetarian. I have been taking individual supplements, the dietitian today said, I have been taking a high dosage of each and she recommended an A to Z multivitamin and mineral. She said my guidance is Vit d. = 15 mg B12. = 1.5 mg

What To Eat When Eating Out?
My husband's labs on 11/25/2020 were Creatinine 1.64 and GFR 40. He was told to start eating low sodium and low potassium, which he did. On 02/25/2021 his Creatinine was 1.21 and his GFR was 57. The Nephrologist gave me credit as the cook. I realize that labs are just a picture of a given day, but

Does this sound like ibs?
I’m 33 year old female. I’ve been having stomach problems now since October 2020. It all started when I got lots of pain in my lower right abdomen, I lay on my tummy which made me be sick 3 times the pain subsided but didn’t go completely, but as well as that I started having diarrhoea and loose stools

Had enough
I’ve had IBS-D for about 6/7 years and last year was just awful; I almost had an accident last June (ended up going in a bucket in a shed) which then resulted in me avoiding leaving the house for months. To cut a long story short I had a complete meltdown about it all in August and wound up on amitryptalyn

Overactive Thyroid
Hi, just been reading everyone's comments about RAI or surgery and I am shocked that I have a choice I was told I only had the 2 options and that staying on carbizmole 5mg was not an option. I now know I am being forced by my hospital rather than being given a choice. So glad I found your posts

Salivary glands
I had RAI in july last year and now have a swollen face and neck ob one side indicating possible gland blocked. Is it common to get this 9 months after RAI or is it unrelated? Anyone had this experience?

Normal ventricles/fluttering atria?
When one has atrial flutter/afib and is on a rate control beta blocker (like metoprolol tartrate) as well as a rhythm control sodium channel blocker (like flecainide) … can the atria still be fluttering/fibbing but the ventricles pumping normally? In other words, can one have a normal pulse and a Kardia

Can anyone help or advise please?
Hi, I've had a swollen thyroid on one side for several months, the ultrasound scan I had in January found it to be about 40mm diameter. I have (as yet) had no symptoms thankfully & all blood tests came back ok so no hypo- or hyper- thyroidism. I had a FNA biopsy in January too & it was found to be "inconclusive

Why consider Ambroxol for PD?
A member of our community here suggested that I repost this answer to their question separately for all with PD to consider. The question is why should someone with PD consider taking Ambroxol, or more specifically what did it do for me and how much do I take? The 2nd question first. I followed the

Chapter 17. I dream of the revolution that must come... 1/2
This is chapter 17 of a book I published in 2015, "A Different Way of Looking at Parkinson's. Almost 20 years of experience with my father's disease (1994-2012)" (only in Spanish). Although we have learned a lot more since that year, I think it can still be useful to most sufferers and family members
