accidental overdose of thyroxine
I’m on 100 mcg thyroxine and the kart prescription they only had 25 mcg so I was taking 4 tablets a day and then the recent prescription was 100 mcg. I’ve just realised today that I’ve been taking 4 100 mcg a day I think for 4 days from how many are gone. In a bit of a panic. I’ve rang 111 and they called

BAM severe
I have been diagnosed with bile acid malabsorbtion after years of diahorea. I had a sehcat scan and was told my levels were less than 3 and I am in the severe category. I started treatment which is acid binding medication. These are sachets mixed in water and have helped the diahorea to settle most of

Shingrix vaccine for immunosuppressed people aged 50+
I thought I would just post this from the gov.uk website because I have just a bit of struggle convincing our surgery that I was eligible, so maybe other people haven't been invited either. The full list is on chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk

What is the difference between pre-TT Graves' and post-TT Graves?
Hi all, thank you again for all the helpful comments on my last post. I'm really glad to be a part of this community - I only wish I'd known about it a little over 5 years ago, but perhaps that's a post for another day. I wanted to ask if anyone had any insight on what happens to the body when one's

Ramiprimil and thyroid med - timing of medication
Today I've taken by mistake Ramipril first instead of taking my thyroid medication first. I usually take first my thyroid med, wait for one hour with an empty stomach, and then take the Ramipril. How long should I wait to take my thyroid med after taking Ramipril, so my thyroid med is properly absorbed

hip replacement & taking Flecainide 150mg x 2
Hi everyone - I have been on Flecainide 150mg twice daily for nearly a year now (increased from 100mg x 2) and thus far the A.F episodes (17 in 2022) have ceased. My problem now is I am facing the prospect of hip replacement surgery & wonder if anyone else has experienced this and did they have to stop

Just a quick update, Endo appointment 👿
went to Royal Liverpool Endo dept , was hoping to see the consultant who is on TUK Uk list. Unfortunately this did not happen, the person I saw was less than helpful, see I can be tactful, sometimes. Introduced herself as diabetes consultant and she lived up to that name. The first thing she said

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?

Thyroid Scan
20% of autoimmune thyroid patients never have high thyroid antibodies and ultrasound scan of thyroid can get diagnosis I’m curious to know what would show up on the scan to indicate autoimmune thyroid disease as opposed to it being caused by subacute thyroiditis.

Bowel Problems...
Hello everyone, I think I already know the answer from other posts, so sorry for repeating, but I get so confused over the symptoms I get and I'd like to see what you think. I had a lap 15 years ago and was told I had adhesions between my uterus and bowel and I believe it was treated. I had two kids

narrow angles
Hi, first post on this forum, new to all of this. On a recent trip to the opticians, my wife (56) was referred to our local eye clinic with narrow drainage angles. Her ocular pressure is ok and there are no other abnormalities. The referral was quick and she had an appointment at the clinic within

Permanently damaged vision due to dry eyes?
I've had Limited Scleroderma for about 12 years. A year ago, I noticed that the vision in my left eye had become blurred. 3 opticians and 4 opthalmologists later (because I never see the same person twice, and every one starts at the beginning - what a ludicrous system), we have finally reached the
