First time Colonoscopy
I have my first colonoscopy on Thursday the 14th. I have been given Picolax. I am concerned about the prep as my friend told me you don't have time to get up the stairs to the toilet, and I should stay upstairs after taking the prep solution; is this correct? I'm really not sure about the sedative

Facing thyroid surgery?
Have you been told that you're hyperthyroid, and / or been told that you need to have your thyroid removed – but you're not convinced because your symptoms don't seem to match the diagnosis? That's exactly where I was nine years ago – and I want to urge you to follow your instincts ! To put it simply

Need Help with Diagnosis
I'm new to investigating thyroid issues, so I need some help from experts please. My husband has been suffering increasing fatigue for several years now, and he's always much colder than anyone else in the room. I understand that both of these can be symptoms of thyroid issues. Thyroid problems also

Help with adding levo to T3 only
Hi, I've been on T3 only for many years (62.5 mcg). I've switched from levo to T3 only in the time because I had an elevated rT3 and still hypo symptoms despite elevated dose. Every endo I've seen in the last years said I should go back levo because my T3 levels are through the roof. They don't seem

adrenal gland & thyroid
I recently read a book “The Great Thyroid Scandal (and how to avoid it)’ and “ticked” my way through the book as I have had 90% of the various symptoms detailed in the book for the past 30 years. It suggested that the adrenal gland & thyroid work closely together & if thyroid is not functioning as it

T3 question
I’m currently on T3 only because of bad reaction with levothyroxine. I’ve been on Liothyronine 10mcg twice a day since 11 November. I haven’t been back to the doctors for a thyroid function test since October as I’ve read frequently that on T3 only they go more on symptoms than levels. I no longer have

Paxlovid with Eliquis
What is the latest advice on taking Paxlovid for Covid if you are on an anticoagulant? Do you need to stop it or just be extra careful of bleeding or not take Paxlovid at all? I know you need to stop your statin drug while on it.

Update 7.7.5 = Benign
Thanks to all who responded to my last post. The news on the growth removed from my face was good news. It was benign, a Seborrheic Keratosis that suddenly had become inflamed. Due to the coloration, it looked a possible malignant growth, which is why I had it checked out. I would encourage everyone

Day four
Well what a journey, day 4 and still no kick back from IBS. So far the foods that have triggered my IBS that I have tried again. Tomato sauce, crisps/chippies, gingernut biscuits, water, saveloys, marmite/ vegemite and wholemeal bread. All in moderation except for the bread, love my bread. Not a reaction

Abaris
Hello everyone, I'm still on the quest for wellness. I was wondering if anyone had tried Abaris which is a TRH . Quite new on the market I think. I'm piling the weight on as I can't treat my thyroid without reacting to the meds. I was looking further upstream at TRH. I live in the UK so probably wouldn't
