just feeling a little confused and overwhelmed! Can anybody please help me clear a few things up?????
So I believe I have hashimotos due to the raised TPO antibodies but I have also read that these can be raised in other
thyroid
conditions
like silent painless thyroiditis so how do I know it’s definitely hashimotos and not this?

Interesting Dynamic
Least I think so. If I felt as good as I have in the two months at any time prior I would have been ecstatic. Now that has become the standard I understand I am feeling and doing better and still have a long way to go. I am starting to have the head space to start the grieving process of my loss

hi there I was recently diagnosed with 2 thy3f nodules on either side of my thyroid. Thy3f is an indeterminate result (25%malignancy 75% benign). I have no symptoms recently had a baby, breastfeeding, busy mom of 3 on no medication. Has anyone elected watch and wait tactic instead of thyroidectomy?

Not feeling that great on Armour Thyroid
Hi ...I started taking Armour Thyroid a few months back and these are my latest blood test results. I haven't been feeling that great on it as yet. My dry cracked heels getting worse, falling asleep very early evening etc. After this blood test I started to add a little Levothyroxine daily (around 20mcg

5 courses of antibiotics
Hi. I have been prone to uti's for 50 years and recently had a very bad uti which took 5 different antibiotics to treat. I can't get to see a GP (Uk) only been able to get an appointment with the surgery paramedic. I've just finished a week of Nitrofurantoin which settled the symptoms, but now 2 days

Is blood pressure medication making your tinnitus worse?
Hi all, I have had tinnitus for 30 years after playing in a loud band. I've recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure and been prescribed Doxazosin which has sent the volume of my tinnitus through the roof. I was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences?
