How often do you get pneumonia in a year with bronchiectasis?
My last
sputum
test
in June 2022 showed stenotrophonoma and aspergillus. I do lung clearance once daily and Ventolin 2X a day. Also, Breo Ellipta for asthma, Flonase and Allegra. I eat healthy and exercise.

Any advice welcomed
I spoke to a GP a few weeks ago (on the phone obviously - face to face appointments are a rarity where I live) as I was concerned about the colour of the mucus I was coughing up and I did a
sputum
test
, which I presume came back negative as I never heard anything to the contrary.

Gabapentin and liver resection
The help I have been given from this forum has been invaluable, I don't know where I would be without it. I have weaned myself off of Pramipexole and am now using Gabapentin, I don't think I have suffered anything like some of the other members. My question is, I need to up the dose, I am taking 1 x

Splitting NDT - SHBG and cortisol changes - help!
Hi all, I have started splitting my Armour dose, taking less in the morning and more in the afternoon. I had a test for ft3 ft4, but also checked cortisol and SHBG. I was so surprised. My ft4 is similar to where it was before splitting, my ft3 is a tad higher. SHBG went up from 62 to 79.9. Cortisol

Genetic diagnosis
Hi all, sorry I haven't posted anything for ages but sometimes life is like that. I have finally got some sort of diagnosis. I had more genetic testing a couple of years ago and they have found that I have two anomalies on gene SPG7. This means that my disability is more spastic based than ataxia.

Iron Levels
this group is so helpful. Thank you to everyone, especially those experts. I’m currently weaning off pram with higher doses of gab. My PA in neurology is helpful with raising the gab as needed. However, I had my iron tests done with a 350 ferritin result and a 12% TSAT. So if I understand this

Cholesterol and fertility... am I overreacting?
Hiya folks, hope everyone is okay. After my second IVF round ended in failure I've been taking a few months off to lead as healthy a lifestyle as possible (I mention the changes I've made in previous posts). I've also taken a bunch of tests including a full thrombophilia screen (which has come back

t3 without prescription
I live in a small southern town in US and tested low normal w/nodules by primary care physician (PCP). Asked for t3 and was denied. I was told the only endocrinologist in town does prescribe t3 but I have to be referred by PCP. She refused to refer since it had been so long since I had been to see her

Mixing up the brands of Levo?
My Endo has increased my dose of Levo from 25 mcg to a mix of 25 / 50. I know it may be too low as T4 is currently only 20% through the range. I will have the debate about dosing again in a month when we have more data. The good news is that my Vits are now all optimal, so I should be making use of the

Mirena coil
Hi, I have no Thyriod as I had thyriod cancer in 2018. My thyroxine has been too low for a while so Hypothyriod atm. Waiting for levels to balance but anxiety is awful. And feeling low etc. The GP recommended Mirena coil as no interaction with Thyroxine for all the hormonal symptoms. But reading

Eating after Levo/t3

Took my drugs at 5am and at 10am, my heart rate was 60 and I was feeling very cold. My most recent test shows my
