Skin grafting
Hi as my sister's wound on the site where chemo was given is not healing more than a year we will be requiring skin grafting. Pl inform is it painful - how much time it will take to heal. Tense again for any kind of surgery and hospitalisation

Is it possible to go overactive on levothyroxine?
Hi everyone, I am currently on 100 mg of Levo after routine thyroid bloods 12 weeks ago (still in 1st year of diagnosis) & finding my TSH was up to 14, which is higher than at diagnosis of Hashimotos (have had TPA test so know I have autoimmune thyroiditis or hashis) back in April. Gp upped my dosage

HASHIMOTO’S HELP PLEASE!! Should I increase or decrease my levothyroxine? Or what should I do?!!
I really don’t know what to do and my GP admits to being clueless. I am waiting for an endocrinology appointment but in the meantime would really appreciate some advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and started on Levothyroxine in June 2014. Started on 50mcg, increased every 3 weeks

The misery compounds.
I now have skin cancers all over skin that was exposed, for the years I lived in South Africa!!!! Most of them requiring skin grafts. Having Raynauds makes healing so slow, they're going septic, and taking months!!!!!!....

I scalded my baby granddaughter
I can't live with myself for what I've done. I've probably scarred for life my tiny 6 month old baby granddaughter's leg. I can't get her scream out of my head. I so wish it had been me that the water spilled on, even if it had been all down my face I would rather that than have what happened. I moved
