HiI found out I had APS during my 8th pregnancy in 2006. I had PEs. Fast forward to 2024. One of my adult daughters had PEs in pregnancy, horrific treatment from hospital, which was minutes from losing both my daughter and her baby (at 39 weeks) I'm now waiting to have a genetic test for APs as I

Wait time for food and drink after thyroxine
hi I have just been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and will start taking thyroxine tomorrow morning. I usually wake at 6.30 and will take then. NHS and endocrinology guidance says wait half an hour before having any food and drink, but I notice this forum advises an hour. I’m not worried about eating

Carbimazole dose
Hi all, Back again! As always, grateful for thoughts. I've been on Carbimazole 10mg BD and Propanalol 40mg TDS for about 10 days now. My heart rate before treatment was sitting around 130/140 with a peak of 167. Has been sitting 55-75 since starting Propanalol. Bloods before treatment for free T4

Hair Loss on NDT
Hi can anyone shed some light on my continuous hair loss. It was one of my symptoms with my hypothyroidism. I started Thyroid-s and it eventually stopped but then started again about two months ago, otherwise I feel great, infact better than I have in years. I take 1. & 3/4 grains AM and 1 & 1/2 in PM

Lyme disease
I found out recently I have Lyme disease, that’s why I’ve been deficient in vitamin B12, Vitamin D and Iron. As Lyme makes you deficient in all three! I’m still continuing B12 injections, taking vitamin D and taking heme iron tablets. Thinking of going back on iron/ferritin peptides as they have less

1 1/2yrs of treatment and I’m getting worse again.
Need advice. I’m concerned. I was diagnosed with PA (lack IF via blood test) a year and a half ago. I have been on daily Hydroxo injections since. I started at a high concentrated dose (I’m in US) of 5,000mcg day and dosed it down to 1,750mcg day. I maintained this dose for 6 plus months and still

vitamins to help thyroid
Hello, has anyone got any tips of vitamin complexes to help under active thyroid? I have recently upped my vit d, my B12 and found a complex that says it helps the body convert t4 to t3. I’ve been taking them all about two weeks and I do think that I’m less exhausted than I was. I’m hopeful that it

out of date liothyronine T3
my T3 goes out of date 31st May and I still have a whole box left. I could do without another £99 cost 😭 do you reckon it would be ok for the next 2 months?

First PSA post surgery
Hello, Just had my first 3 month PSA test post surgery. <0.01. Good news but need to monitor every 3 years due to intraductal component. I just want to thank everyone that has been so supportive and has given me positive feedback on this forum. I am also getting genetic testing done this week as well

Results advice pls
Hello all As some of you know, I've been trialling T3 combo therapy. In Sept I was taking 100mcg levo and 7-10mcg lio and was told by my docs to reduce my levo to 75mcg. Tests results (all done as per SlowDragon advice) BEORE the reduction were: TSH: 0.07 (range 0.30 - 4.20) Free T3 5.7 (range

Test Results interpretation
HNY everyone! I got my test results back from the GP today. She did a full MOT (although didn’t include vit d or ferritin) but I’m not sure what they mean or if they are optimal. My vit b12 is 502 (197-771) Serum folate is 8th/L (3.0-26.8) My thyroid results are meaningless as I had taken my meds

Sometimes the solution is simple !
Getting through the winter isn’t isn’t easy, is it friends ? This one was a long one and once the spring is on its way my energy levels, enthusiasm and motivation get going and life opens up again. It didn’t happen this year though. Asthma COPD for 21 years….was it all getting to the body ? No energy

Starting medication advice
Hello Long story short, i was diagnosed Hashimoto's 2020, told to wait for TSH to rise before medication. I've been trying to conceive for years so went back to the GP this year when i found out TSH should be below 2.5 for this, not 5. Most recent tests are: 22/02/24: TSH - 5.01 (0.35- 5.50) T4 -

Confused about relatives diagnosis and treatment for colon cancer
Grandad is 87, diagnosed with colon cancer at the beginning of the year. Only symptom was rapidly decreasing iron in blood.They said he had stage T4 and that they were going to do an operation to remove the cancer. They did just that last week. Doctors said they had removed the cancer and he was released

This is not how I am 😕
I saw my rheumatologist yesterday. A couple of weeks earlier than scheduled because I've felt very depressed. I feel no joy, no focus, no energy/vibe. My blood and urine tests were OK, but my skin is the worst he's seen it. 😫 He even, with consent, took a photo of my hands to show them to his medical

Liothyronine (LT3) prescribing in England: Are cost constraints inhibiting guideline implementation?
Whatever else, this demonstrates beyond any doubt that the cost of the liothyronine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is but a minor part of the price charged to the NHS. I'd argue that the simple fact that the NHS agrees these prices strongly suggests something VERY wrong with medicines procurement.

Both LH and HCG positive
This is my 6th week since first miscarriage. I have confirmed negative hcg 3 times before. Have been tracking my LH just to see how my body is reacting, which as usual started with very low LH. I'm getting high LH now since 5 days, I never ovulated on my own before (atleast never checked) and I was suspicious
