2 new issues, that I need a wee bit of help with.......new dizzy sensations and vitamin D deficiency?
Hi folks, I am new to these drugs and would be interested to hear if any one else is or has had these problems. 1. Dizzy light headed moments, which almost feel like blood pressure symptoms, but on those tablets, and have been for years. However, I was recently put onto hydroxychloroquine Sulphate, with

Vitamin D - or not
Reputable websites such as Patient UK and Arthritis Research UK recommend that PMR sufferers take vitamin D. Also, research has indicated that vitamin D deficiency can exacerbate PMR symptoms. However, the new PMRGCAuk website says the nightshade family (tomatoes, aubergines, peppers etc) "...contain

My latest news
I had my latest meeting with ENT consultant and plastic surgeon yesterday. Both have now agreed that it's best I don't have any re-constructive surgery on my nose,( although they would do it if I wanted), as the prosthesis is so effective. I'm glad we got that sorted! I now have to wait for another appointment

Has anyone tried avocado oil for psoriasis?
Sorry, only tangentially related to thyroid (autoimmune) issues, but my psoriasis is spreading and on my face/hairline it looks very inflamed. I usually slap on a little steroid cream but it has such a short-lived effect. I have calcipotriol ointment too but it's so greasy I hate to use it near my hair

Low vitamin D
Just recieved a letter from my endo saying that my last blood test showed vitamin D to be low. They have suggested that i take 1.000 units of cholecalciferol per day. I realise that this could cause some of my muscle and bone pain, but i dont think it would make me feel really unwell, would it?

T3 Slightly Below Range
I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2012 and had Radioactive Iodine Treatment in the same year.

Blood test results to check a range of things - can anyone comment on them please?
As requested, I am reposting this with the ranges added on. I am currently taking 200mcg Levothyroxine per day. Despite my TSH being 0.41 (range set at 0.27 to 4.20), I was experiencing symptoms of being hypothyroid. My GP requested further blood tests and the results have come back as follows: Full

Has anyone had any stomach problems taking Fultium D3 (Colecalciferol)?
I've just been told my Vit D level is 8 which is pretty low and have been put on 800IU capsules 4 a day. I only started taking them a few days ago but my stomach feels like there is a lead balloon inside and I feel a bit queasy. Is this normal?

Up and down today
Here are how things with me have been so far (an even longer story!): January 2013 - I'm told by my GP I have elevated Anti-TPO antibodies at 84,000 (<34). TSH is at 0.69 (0.27-4.2) May 2013 - My TSH has rocketed up to 22 (0.27-4.2) and my FT4 was low at 10.9 (12-22). I'm then put on 25mcg Levothyroxine

GP appointment today - this is what's come out of it...
Well, this is what has come out of my GP appointment, most of which I already knew. TSH has gone up and down like a yo-yo over the past 7 months. First it was 22 in May, 4 in August after starting the Levo, 4.3 in November and 4.6 in December. (Normal range 0.27-4.2) FT4 is back within range from being

Does lupus cause very dry skin?
hello - I have APS and pernicious anaemia. I have a positive ANA and St T's say I have lupus like symptoms associated with the APS but full blown lupus is not evident at the moment. I start Plaquenil in the new year (my specialist recommends introducing new drugs one at a time as I am on warfarin) I

Shedding light on the sunshine vitamin - why is vitamin D linked to so many health issues and how much of it do we actually need?
Sadly the article doesn't say how much Vitamin D we need, but given many of us report improvements in our well being after finding we need Vitamin D3 supplements to boost our Vitamin D into the normal range, I though this article would be of interest. There is obviously a great deal more we need to

Am I optimising Levothyroxine by it taking at the right time?
Hi I'm on 100mcg Levo for Hashimoto's. I have been taking it for about 12 years now at varying amounts and currently have a lot of aches, pains and stiffness and fatigue. But I also have RA and chronic autoimmune Uticaria and my inflammation levels are always high at present. I am therefore on a lot
