Help with blood test interpretation for my daughter
Hello Everyone, I'm new here and asking for my 18 year old daughter. I've come over from the Thyroid UK forum at their suggestion. She's been quite unwell for about 3-4 years slowly getting worse. We've been stuck with unhelpful medics both private and NHS who have not got anywhere with her symptoms

Fostair hot flushes?
Newbie still, so lots of questions, sorry! I’m having lots of hot flushes - am taking Fostair 200/6 two puffs in am and pm. Are the meds affecting my HRT meds (anything I can do about that?) or is it just the steroid effect to add into the racing heart and shaking hands?

Has anyone ever had an Iron infusion?
Having suffered from underactive thyroid for years and taking Levothyroxine with mixed results, I also suffer from low iron and ferritin and Vitamin D. I find it hard to get my levels of iron up despite eating red meat and green veg and supplementing, and wondered if anyone had tried an iron infusion

Diagnosis of Sigmoid volvulus 3 weeks ago and an emergency operation via colon righted it temporarily.
I am recovering slowly from the shock of the above diagnosis. The surgeon said he will have to do a major abdominal operation (which he is reluctant to do whilst I am on Prednisolone, I was on 6 mg 3 weeks ago but now on 5mg) as healing and infection could be post operative problems. So I saw my Rheumatologist

worried about thyroidectomy
hi everyone, I’m new here’ but not new to thyroid issues unfortunately. I got diagnosed with graves in 2017 after the birth of my first baby.

Codeine
Hi Does anyone have experience with codeine based products? I have RLS, just about managing through Fe and Mg tablets. I have been suffering with severe bouts of pain, in particular at night time, and have discovered that I need two hip replacements due to osteoarthritis. I took a codeine based product

Not a flare, but RA of the hands
I've had PMR since March 2019, managed with Prednisone and Leflunamide. After a slow taper to 3.mg, my hands started swelling last August and were so stiff and painful that I could hardly use them. As I have mild carpal tunnel syndrome, I contacted my hand surgeon at Kingston hospital and got an appointment

steroids and hip replacement surgery
I’m on steroids for PMR and have had to go back up to 15 for a flare. I’m due to have a hip replacement hopefully in the next couple of months. My question is will it still go ahead while I’m on them.?

Low UIBC result from bloodwork?
Hi, All. I had bloodwork done recently and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the low UIBC might be affecting my RLS/PLMD. Ferritin was 169 (down from very high values after a blood infusion for rls in April 2021). The UIBC was flagged as Low at 126, Iron Saturation was flagged as high: Iron 172 UIBC

Advice please. Not sure how to proceed.
I am 49 and have Hashimoto's and have spent the last two years trying to find a doctor to properly treat my thyroid and help get to the root of the thyroid dysfunction. Last fall I learned I have mold and I am going through a mold protocol. My compounded NDT has been adjusted in dribs and drabs over
