Is it possible to go overactive on levothyroxine?
Hi everyone, I am currently on 100 mg of Levo after routine thyroid bloods 12 weeks ago (still in 1st year of diagnosis) & finding my TSH was up to 14, which is higher than at diagnosis of Hashimotos (have had TPA test so know I have autoimmune thyroiditis or hashis) back in April. Gp upped my dosage

Hi, I'm new here and have read quite a few posts tonight which I've found really helpful. I was searching the Internet in desperation, yet again, to see if I could find something different to help me relieve my symptoms and came across RLSUK, don't know why I've not seen it before. I blame it on sleep

Fibromyalgia
I have just read a article saying that all vitamins are synthetic and do us no good whatsoever, in fact some are made from coal tar. To get pure vitamins puts up the price considerably and the British Manufacturers seem to go down the synthetic route. When you look on the web for information about Fibromyalgia

New CKD Diagnosis....age 43
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with CKD Stage 3. I am 43 with 3 children 21, 17 and 10. The damage to my kidneys has come about as a result of taking Naproxen and Ibruprofen for approx 2 years for a spinal complaint. I stopped all medication following a successful spinal fusion in June 2012,

HASHIMOTO’S HELP PLEASE!! Should I increase or decrease my levothyroxine? Or what should I do?!!
I really don’t know what to do and my GP admits to being clueless. I am waiting for an endocrinology appointment but in the meantime would really appreciate some advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and started on Levothyroxine in June 2014. Started on 50mcg, increased every 3 weeks

News Just In.....
Are you all sitting comfortably? I doubt that but I'll begin anyway! So with the lidocaine infusion a wash out I'm back on the hospital treadmill to see what can be done. I am reluctant to have any more spinal surgery, not least because I have so much scar tissue that the last time they had to go in

Spinal Cord Stimulator
Hi Folks, My PM doc seems to be nearly at the end if the road with me - I've been a chronic pain patient for nearly 40 years now - I'm 60 this month. He's listed me for one more procedure but after that the only option is for referral on for assessment for a SPS. He is not very optimistic about this

Can the cure be worse than the disease?
After my MRI showed brain and
spinal
cord damage, MS was ruled out with a
spinal
tap
. My neurologist finally diagnosed PA. Apparently the brain and
spinal
damage shown from PA (subacute spinal degeneration) mimics MS.

What a fiasco!
Hi there I am sure like a lot of others on this site that the process we all go through when diagnosed with an ovarian cyst is less than perfect. I feel like I have been on a roller coaster for the last 6 weeks as my cyst is complex with solid components, multilobulated and with multiple septations

starting to feel a bit better at last!
You may remember that i was going in for some spinal surgery last month. The surgery went well and i now have a substantial amount of hardware going from the middle of my skull down to the bottom of my neck. They also removed some pressure off my spinal cord caused from a vertebrae. I had an excellent
