Neck rash - what's causing it? What can ease it?
Hello, writing on behalf of my wife. She has a persistent (2+ years) neck rash which 'flares-up' from time to time. It's 'itchy' and uncomfortable. We've been to the doctor several times about the rash. Doc says nothing to worry about, just apply 'Simple' moisturiser. Medical history: Female aged 35

Iodine raises TSH
https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/91049 This is an interesting story about a small French randomized trial looking at using iodine mouthwash as a COVID-19 prevention. What's interesting is that participants in the intervention group "experienced a jump in thyroid-stimulating hormone

Citalopram
I am quite traumatised as Citalopram almost killed me. I had to stop it cold turkey in November. The side effects came on slowly over about 8 months beginning with feeling withdrawn and one muscle shaking in my hip. It progressed to problems with coordination including feeling my eyes were not working

Anyone know what blood test this will contain?
Recently my endo asked my gp to test my bloods for TSH, Ft3 and fT4 as well as coeliac and parietal antibodies. GP put this test through: (TF3) TFT3: Hyperthyroid on treatment/T3 I am not hyperthyroid on treatment. I am post RAI for graves hypothyroid. And I wasn’t sure whether this includes TSH

Coming off Sodium Valproate
I stopped taking sodium valproate about three weeks ago after cutting down to half a pill for a few months. I'm a little worried as I've seen a lot said about the possibility of seizures and would like to know how long of not taking it would have me in the clear? I'm unable to go see a Dr so would really

Thyroid support multis- opinion?
Virtually any brand of multi vits for Thyroid support has 200 mcg (round 100% NRV) iodine. Surely not advisable with Hashimotos/hypo? ( according to isabella wents for sure) Does anyone take Pure Encapsulations Thyroid support; Viridian Thyroid complex, Thorne Thyroid Cofactors? I'm on a normal AIP

Hello , my question relates to my bloods, re Vitamin B12 replete Plasma Folate level, is a result of 7ng/ml ( 4.0-20.0) considered low?
Think i may have hypothyroidism. I have epilepsy and been using medication for 40yrs, sodium valproate/epilim. Just discovering it can stop vitamins and minerals being absorbed into the body properly and cause Thyroid problems. My bloods came back as deficient in vitamin D, as 24 nmol/l , testing range

Breakfast smoothie
I'm looking for a breakfast smoothie recipe that will keep me going to lunch. Something that is low potassium, phosphorous and sodium? My normal go to is banana and oats but looking for something with spinach and banana replacement?

Suppressed Thyroid ore unable Thyroid plus T3 problem
As this is my first post I will try and give short history as it is important. At the age of 17 (I am now 74) I was diagnosed with Hypoactive thyroid which strangely made me put on weight and also made one of eyes bulge. I was given iodine in tablet form and eventually things went back to normal .

B12 and electrolyte imbalance
Hi folks I have been struggling with low sodium due to laxative use, (I have severe IBS). In the process of trying to correct the sodium I changed meds to Linzess and took sodium. I think that caused an electrolyte imbalance. Now I am feeling really bad with weak legs, bad vision problems, shortness

Sodium benzoate in soft drinks?
Hi everyone. I hope you are doing ok in this difficult time. I wanted to know if anyone has ever had a reaction to sodium benzoate (also known as E211), which is a preservative found in a lot of processed foods. Sometimes I feel that my throat/chest is a bit irritated when I drink Diet Coke but then

Just started 100mg levothyroxine how long until symptoms improve?
I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease 4 years ago and had radioactive iodine treatment last October. Since then my bloods last week confirmed I’ve gone severely underactive which explains why I’ve felt so terrible recently. Really suffering with constipation, issues sleeping, anxiety, depression, muscle
