Cortisol results - help needed please
Hi guys, I was hoping for some help interpreting my cortisol test results. Looking at the results it looks like my adrenals are normalising? Recent bloods also showed sodium, potassium, and magnesium levels are in the high or normal range, so it looks like no more mineral dumping is going on, and I

Cortisol results – help needed please
Hi guys, Advice needed please regarding my cortisol results and related changes to adrenal symptoms. I took the test after stopping Adrenavive and prednisone for over 2 weeks, so this is a true reflection of my levels without medication. Hopefully, you will agree with my actions to phase out prednisone

Update and ideas!
I thought I’d update you on my Weekly Taxol treatment and ask for some ideas to shift a problem I have! This may be long, please bear with! I’m about to have my 9th treatment, which means I’m halfway through. Overall, this regime has suited me well, apart from a couple of emotional wobbles as I got

Help with Sodium Pico sulphate and movicol to help with soiling
I’m looking for some help. My daughter (will be 5 in September)followed a disimpaction regime about 6/7 weeks ago. This was her first disimpaction. It worked well and has lessened her soiling greatly but we are now in a cycle of 5/6 days with no accidents and then about 4 days running of constant accidents

ORS Hydration Tablets and cirrhosis
Evening all. Feeling a little dehydrated I’ve used ORS Hydration Tablets. However I’ve just seen in big bold letters DO NOT USE if you have problems with liver or kidney. It’s done now so hopefully I’ve not done any more damage but I assume the risk is high sodium to aid the fizz? So need education

New here with new tip that works for me
My partner is a medical bio-chemical scientist. For me, he makes a liquid form of magnesium and a spray that has something called DMSO in it - it takes the magnesium through my skin. I see that people here talk about taking magnesium by mouth but I've found this works better for me. I rub them on my

Extreme fatigue
Hi I may have questioned this before at an earlier time but it is still a big concern. My partner has post ET myelofibrosis. (ET for 5 years, diagnosed with myelofibrosis in April this year) He was taking hydroxycarbamide (not sure if I have spelt this right) for his ET and was started on Rux for

TBG, Reverse T3 & SHBG Issues - What Does This Mean?
Greetings and happy July all. I have Hashi's confirmed by ultrasound and blood antibodies. I am not being treated as my family doctor and encrinologist say my blood work does not justify it. I have every symptom of hypo, I mean every symptom, and I also believe I have fatigued adrenals big time. But,

Flare Up of D at Party
Hello, I should be used to it, but a flare up of sudden D coupled with cramps and nausea at a party last week has really knocked my confidence. One not very private loo and people rattling the door as I was in there a long time. I left after that. I was fine all day and had taken a precautionary Imodium

Always anxious and depressed
My first post here. I have suffered from anxiety all of my life, generalized anxiety and social anxiety. I’m 39 and it’s just getting worse as I am getting older. I have frequent anxiety attacks, I worry constantly and have racing thoughts. My stomach is always sick, I use pepto and Imodium daily. I

Efficacy of Radium-223 in Bone-Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With and Without Homologous Repair Gene Defects

More or less T4 with T3?
These are some bloods from a test a week ago. This is on 75 mcg of T4 & 30 mcg of T3. It looks to me like I'm converting the T4 into T3 pretty well. Feel good except for an occasional cold and a stiff neck that cracks like a knee popping sometimes. My endo doesn't want to prescribe any higher T4 without
