Kidneys and Hashimotos
Hi all, I am waiting for an endo appt in June to see if I need to go into Levo or T3. I get kidney pain in the morning after eating sugar/carbs the night before, which I am attempting to minimise. Can I ask if anyone has had the same thing, and if so, whether they have seen improvements after going

Pregnacare before conception causing long cycles?
Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to see if others have had a similar experience to me. I've just had my first round of letrozole (unsuccessful) and have am waiting for my next cycle to start so I can try again. Unfortunately though I'm now on day 61 of my cycle, my cycles are usually 32-26 days long.

dry eyes and mouth?
hi again all! I am very depleted in ferritin and am awaiting an infusion. I also started b12 injections 3 months ago for PA but I don’t think they’ve been often enough (1x/month). Also just got diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos (thyroid levels are still normal). I’m grasping at straws trying to

anyone else had genetic testing?
Hi well I’m back after a long break after previously having 2 BFN when we tried donor eggs with icsi. We’ve saved up again and decided to give it one last shot and this time the consultant recommended we try genetic screening before having any embryos implanted. Just wondered if there is anyone else

After Four Cycles of Ra-223
After four cycles of Ra-223 sadly it seems not to be doing as well as we would of liked. I have numinous new uptakes (to numinous to mention) as well as an increase in size of some of the older sites while a few have decreased in size or disappeared the new activity is outweighing the overall success

Ferritin, B12 and folate results
Hi all I’d be grateful for any advice on the following results and details of the best supplements to take if you think I should boost them? The ferritin seems particularly low (even if it is technically in range). I eat red meat and leafy greens but struggle with things like liver so I guess I’d

Does Immunotherapy cause Vasculitis?
Hi, my Mum had vasculitis in 2013 following a bad infection, she continues to take 5mg prednisone to this day.Sadly she has been diagnosed with a stage 2 tumor of the cecum which because of her age and frailty at 81 years old is suggested to be inoperable. Genetic testing reveals its a type of cancer

teva update
I posted last week that pharmacy2 u had a problem delivering TEVA thyroxine and I got a prescription to take to a local chemist. I’ve phoned 15 and none have TEVA in stock. Does anyone know of another lactose free thyroxine I can ask for ?

Prolactin
Have shared the possibility of prolactin feeding advanced pc with mo/urologist . Dr's found the possibility of lowering prolactin interesting but have never heard of anyone using in their practice. If anyone can advise of a doctor using this in their protocol please reply so I can share with my doctors

Visiting Turkey to Buy T3 (Tiromel)
Has anyone been anywhere in Turkey recently (or recently ish!) to buy T3 over the counter? Now that the Greece over the counter route appears to have stopped, I'm considering looking into Turkey. I would much rather buy in person than relying on something being legit when ordering online/buying through

To split or not to split?
I have decided to start self medicating again and used the company I first used to buy some thyroxine. They have changed brands and now only supply Eltroxin in 100 mcg tablets. Tbh I didn't even think about that so ordered some thinking I could just split them as I felt 50 was a better starting point

Headache solved?
As my symptoms started returning, I upped my levo every 3rd day from 50mcg to 75mcg. Headaches started and only went if I upped my T3 from 5mcg to 7.5 mcg (Levo 7am, T3 8am) I take 2 further 5mcg T3 in the day. I sometimes take my second T3 dose as a 7.5mcg dose if I'm really slowing down, grinding to
