update on subacute thyroiditis
Just posting an update on my experience with subacute thyroiditis. Thanks for the support in this forum! Since mid August I was quite unwell with classic symptoms of thyroiditis (significant neck pain, high inflammatory markers) and became quite thyrotoxic. I was eventually given a course of steroids

Offered montelukast
Hi there! I'm new here and not sure why I haven't thought to join this before. I've been struggling with my asthma for some time now and have just been offered montelukast because I've not settled after almost 3 weeks of max. Inhalers and a course of steroids. I was just wondering if anyone has experience

Tigger is bouncing around Winnie the Pooh, because he is happy his RLS is better
I was originally trialing 5 microgram 7 day patches that got me out of that dark tunnel but wasn’t 100% effective so after the initial 3 week trial I wrote to Dr Christopher Murphy explained the situation and he arranged for me to collect 10 microgram 7 day patches from Salford Royal Infirmary. I applied

Covid booster vaccines
hi Does anyone know if partners / carers of clinically extremely vulnerable people are eligible for the Covid boosters in April. I am under 75 years of age. I am “happy” to have it done privately at a cost of £100 approx but would need to travel some distance at the moment. Thanks for any advice

any one had to stop work due to health?
Iam 61, had thought I’d work until I was at least 65. I’ve just had a year off during which I had a craniotomy and RT as well as dealing with taking steroids for GCA which isn’t helping! I have just started a phased return to work. Work have been amazing and my return is very flexible. However, I don

Quinoric side effects
Hi all, I hope you’re keeping tip top as best you can. So, I have been on hydroxychloquine for 5 years this year. I’ve mostly been given the brand Quinoric which is increasingly upsetting my tummy. I already have gastrointestinal issues from endometriosis and the Lupus meds aggravate it. I understand

Should I ask to go up on my levothyroxine dosage?
Hi everyone! As suggested, I followed everyone's advice regarding the blood test, and also I've been taking the levothyroxine earlier (leaving more of a gap before eating or taking other medications) for a month, and my latest results are: Serum free T4 level 12.0 pmol/L [7.9 - 14.4] Normal 05 Apr

appointment
yesterday I saw my new rheumatologist and her advice was for me to start reducing my steroids by 1 mg per month until I get down to 5 mg ( I am currently on 11 mg a day and have been reducing by half a mg each month) then 1 mg every 2 months. I have been told that they will increase my methotrexate to

Dr Glen Z brooks NYC
I met with Glen a couple of weeks ago , he is now 76 and no longer taking in new RLS patients It has become increasingly difficult for him to prescribe Buprenorphine the biggest problem is he cannot find doctors who will continue to prescribe for Buprenorphine when he is no longer working.

IBS, possibly menopause, any advice
Hello, I’m looking for any advice if possible, I was diagnosed with IBS over 20 years ago now. I think I had it as a child, it seemed to come about right around the same time I got my periods at 11. Every month I would have horrendously heavy menstrual cycles that were so painful I’d almost pass out
