Increasing armour thyroid
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos and put on armour. I’ve been taking 11/2 grains daily since May and don’t feel great. My most troubling symptoms were mental like low mood, brain fog etc. I ditched HRT in Feb as it was making me feel worse and worse. Would I be ok to try an increase to 2 grains (tablets

Fear of getting ill (nosophobia)
Hello, does anyone else have the fear of getting ill? It's really crippling me at the moment. The other day I had a huge "floater" in my eye. I have been to the eye doctor and a retina specialist and everything is ok. But I'm still having extremely bad anxiety attacks. I'm finding it difficult to

Recommendations for overcoming dizzy episodes?
I have Tinnitus and Pulsatile tinnitus, since summer have had intermittent muffled ears, bit of dizziness. Past 3 weeks have had 24/7 clogged muffled ears like I've got my entire head wrapped in cotton wool and then in a box. What as really hit me hard is the swoosh of dizziness that suddenly hits

It's mortar and pestle time - Ginkgo update
Holland & Barrett have discontinued 30mg Ginkgo tablets, leaving 60mg and 120mg on the shelf. No more convenience for a 3 x 30mg dose. I tried a 120 but the increase in tinnitus which happens for me on dose day was uncomfortable so I won't be doing that again. It looks like more is not necessarily better

Carbimazole
Hi my daughter was diagnosed with graves, doctor put her on carbimazole. She started taking carbimazole and after a few months I can hardly recognise her Her eyes look unfocused and dull and her entire face seems to have sagged drastically. She never longer resembles the happy girl with bright shining

Orbital Floor Depomedrone Injection
Hi All Has anyone had any experience of the above for TED? Been offered this or intravenous Methyldprednisolone. Thyroid Eye specialist has given me a week to make my mind up as to which way I would like to go. There are 3 options, the 2 I’ve just stated or do nothing and risk permanent bulging eyes

My blood sugar is 254mg/dl after 1 hour of lunch
I had a lunch at 1 pm. It included one bowl (100gm) of white rice, sambar, a small cup of potato fry, another cup of vegetables, and 200ml of buttermilk. I took metformin 500mg before lunch and went for a 2km walk inside my office. Took a random blood sugar at 2:30 pm and was shocked to see the reading

Bronchoscopie advice
Hello everyone I was recently due to have a bronchoscopie but cancelled at the last minute. I was told that I would have a local anesthetic in my nose and that they would be working on my lungs for 15 minutes. The idea of someone playing around in my lungs for 15 minutes whilst I was awake was very

Four years ago, I quit drinking after a mild stroke and began exercising religiously and adhering to a healthy diet. A little over a year ago I had an ablation done, and now I take

Rivaroxaban
Happy New Year everyone! Just wondering if anyone else has any side effects from Rivaroxaban? I'd been taking 20mg per day since 2017 with no noticeable side effects. I not only have AF but Bronchiectasis as well. Needed to put a sputum sample in for testing and carried this out in the usual way

I have just received my recent thyroid results from a blood test 13 months ago it was 1.3 and now 2.6 have been taking 50 mg of Levothyroxine been on this dosage for the last 10 years. I asked my Gp if l needed to increase the dosage and he advised it’s still in the normal range.

PV and AMD?
I've had PV since 2015 and have been on Jakafi for 18 months. I've recently been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration and have been treated with intravitreous avastin. I've seen some papers suggesting that AMD is more common for people with MPNs. Has anyone else had this experience? Steve
