Changing from Levo to NDT
Hi All, Can I ask those of you that did not get on well with Levo and changed to NDT, what changes did you notice? Especially those who have had either TT or RAI. Just curious. Thank you.

Blood test results
Hi everyone. I’ve had some test results back. I had RAI in 2011 for hyperthyroidism and I’m therefore hypo. I’ve never really felt healthy since and in more recent years have got worse with aches and pains, anxiety, low energy levels, weight gain and more. So as you can see, B12 is low so I know what

Will I ever feel like my old self again?
Hi I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer after a TT and had RAI last month. I thought after RAI I would magically return to my old self but it just hasn't happened. Im constantly worrying that the treatment hasn't worked, I don't find out until the end of the year when I have my scan. I try to keep myself

Anxiety and IBS
I am wondering how many people there are like me. I have extreme anxiety caused by my IBS. I avoid going out as much as possible due to the fear of pooing myself or the fact I am too embarrassed to poo in public toilets but I’m forced to every time I go out. I have diarrhoea most days that include me

Ferrograd C - does it sell in the UK?
Hi all, I’m in the UK for some time and I can feel that my iron is low again (been a continuous issue for years, I know the signs). In Australia I used to take Ferrograd C with fantastic results. Is there an equivalent here? I haven’t come across it. Ferrograd: Each tablet contains: Dried ferrous

Blood results - I don't know what they mean!
Hello everyone, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I have recently been diagnosed with severe auto-immune hypothyroidism for which I have begun treatment. Along with the thyroid bloods there were kidney ones and I was wondering whether they are ok as they are close to the edge of the ranges. Serum

Midway through Radium 223 and look what I caught....
The treatments have left me pooped but somehow I muster up and go ocean fishing for salmon. This is from Friday. Ocean season closes today.....I got out 7 times. Kicks my butt, but it really motivates me.

It’s 3am and I have a migraine
Hi all, I’m a 21 year old female with genetic history of migraines, my grand father had surgery on his brain because of migraines (weird to me), and my aunt has a pseudotumor on the optic nerve. I’ve been dealing with migraines since I was a kid. The earliest I remember is around 7. I have been on countless

Thinkin Bout Things, Salt this time
With a bit of time, even things like the COVID virus are accommodated by our fears and broader concerns bubble back up. One of the challenges faced by a lot of people with serious chronic illness is that they are alone physically or emotionally. As I think about these past weeks and staying at home
