Levo Dosage Help
Dear all, Please can I seek your advice on Levothyroxine dosage? I realise now that I haven’t really helped myself with the approach that I have taken to my medication dosage changes, but I’m new to this and am learning! Following diagnosis of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, I was advised by my GP to

Donating blood having been stubbornly low on ferritin but now persistently over range
Since taking too high a dose of iron for a period of time a few years ago my ferritin has been quite a bit over range. Previously it was longterm stubbornly low. All my life in fact. After stopping iron it began to lower slowly but has since remained static and too high. I also always have slightly raised

Rise in PSA and extra Eligard Injection
My psa has risen from <0.01 in Feb to 0.04 in April to 0.27 in July then 0.41 this week. I had a CT and full body scan on Tuesday, which according to my MO, who I saw today, showed no ‘hotspots’. Because my PCa metastasised to 4 places in 2016 when first diagnosed, I had radiation to the prostate followed

Any answers please….
I’m wondering why I haven’t had any answers to my most recent post asking about taking T3 and sourcing T3. Perhaps I worded it badly or something but I notice other posters at around the same time have had replies. Perhaps there is no answer to my issue, lol! Apologies if I seem impatient, just feel

Symptoms like underdosing due to gluten?
Sorry for this long and wordy post, it's just a simple question: I thought gluten wouldn't affect my well-being. But I never ate large amounts of bread, cake, pasta, or anything containing large quantities of wheat or spelt. And I usually preferred wholemeal bread to white bread, with occasional exceptions
