Dry eyes
Hi helpful warriors I am on 35 mg of pred for next 2 weeks, then tapering to 30. Does pred cause dry eyes? ( did have cataract removal surgery in June of 2023.) Since diagnosis of GCA in late July 2023 I have had very dry eyes. I am on Thealoz Duo drops (3% Trehalose, 0.15 Sodium Hyaluronate).

Thyroid
Hi, I've posted old blood results, but has anyone heard of Dr Elizabeth Bright? My previous thyroid tests. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 3.31 mU/L (0.27 - 4.2 mU/L) Triiodothyronine (FT3) 3.55 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L) Free Thyroxine (FT4) 14.3 pmol/L (12 - 22 pmol/L) Antibodies were fine

Recommendations for NDT without prescription
Hello everyone, In looking to buy NDT without prescription. I used to be on erfa before I moved back to UK and since I've been here, I have been on levo and it's not working well for me. I'd very much appreciate recommendations via PM. Thank you so much.

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

Endo in bowel tips
I was just wondering if anybody could help in regards to having endometriosis in their bowel, as I've found it quite hard to find out about it when researching. My surgeon found it on the outside of my bowel, and I am seeing a colon specialist to see if it has entered my bowel. I was just wondering if

Total thyroidectomy - what to expect?
A family member has just had her thyroid removed. She has Hashimoto's, the thyroid had become very hard and contained pre-cancerous cells. Does anyone have any advice/tips I could pass on to her? What should we expect now? She is not UK based.

Had results but still confused 🤷🏻♀️
After having biopsy samples taken during an incomplete colonoscopy back on 20th Jan and then having the CT pneumocolon on 8th Feb I have finally had the results read out to me by the med sec….not sure if it’s left me with more questions rather than answers 🤷🏻♀️ The biopsy results show inflammation

half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

That was a busy week!
last week I did run Kent 5k I was meant to have done the 10k but due to my ongoing injury problem did the 5k instead! Since the dark nights have descended I have been struggling with my fear of falling and causing more damage to my shoulder! I broke my shoulder in January and it has been classified

Leg swelling - hyperthyroid
Hi, I was diagnosed with Graves two months ago, put on 20mg Carbimazole, 120mg Diltiazem daily. My last blood test on Dec 7 showed my thyroid numbers are in the normal range for the most part and so my Carbimazole dose was reduced to 5mg once per day; I was taken off the calcium channel blocker. I
