Self treating with NDT, a little advice needed please.
I would appreciate some advice from those with greater knowledge and experience of NDT as I have a few questions: •How to do I raise my FT3? •Is it Ok for FT4 to be under range when on NDT? •Can I realistically expect to feel 100% again? Progress is annoyingly slow. 1st GP Blood test: 06/04/2016

Refused dose increase today
My Levo dose was reduced at the beginning of the year based on my TSH. As expected I have had severe symptom return, the worst has been dreadful constipation and fatigue, crumbled nails and low mood. I have struggled badly for 4 months now. This morning I saw a new and young GP who I hoped would agree

Weaning off Ropinerole
I will never take ropinerole again. I weaned my self from it a few years ago and it was difficult. I restarted it with recurring RLS. I was suffering Augmentation earlier and earlier in the day as early as noon and early afternoon if I sat or would lie down to watch TV. I don't like being reliant on

Good news & Better news
Went for a second, a third, and a fourth opinion, each but the last one accompanied by a
spinal
tap
. The fourth doctor looked at a slide of my blood under a microscope and said, “You don’t have myelofibrosis, you’re iron deficient anemic. Go home. Be happy.” So I did.

Is there still a right to see a named consultant?
Hello. Several years ago I asked to see a particular endocrinologist who prescribes T3. When I phoned his secretary re an appointment, she said I could not specify seeing him unless I went private. Fortunately, the TPA (Thyroid Patient Assoc) had reassured me that it was my right to specify who I

Just wondering, when doctors talk about 'your age' during discussions are they perhaps referring to physical age, not chronological?
I was set off thinking on this track by various posts/replies where responses have not seemed completely appropriate once the full picture emerged. For instance, if I complained I had been refused a second ablation (I haven't, but not been encouraged) 'considering your age' I know what the reaction from

What do latest blood results mean?
Please could someone help me interpret my latest results? At the beginning of the year my GP reduced my Levo from 150 to 125 as she said I was over medicated. I did as I was told for 3 and a half months and at the end of that period was pretty unwell with fatigue, aching limbs, hair thinning, my fingernails

I didn't know psoriasis could almost disappear!
After decades of having to use a coal tar shampoo every 3 days or suffer severe itching, flaking, and red spots that bled, I now can go weeks and sometimes months without using any special shampoo and only occasionally using a 3% salicylic acid shampoo. The coal tar shampoo stunk and had to be followed
