Confused
Just had a message from my GP surgery and as my TSH is 0.13 they want to lower my dose from 75 to 50. What do I do?

Neurologist in South of England
Hi fellow RLS people. Can anyone suggest a private neurologist in UK preferably South of England who will prescribe opioids? My doctor didn’t want to prescribe codeine (although had done so in the past). In the past I have also tried DA, gabepentin, clonazepam, amitriptiline, and some sleeping tablets

Hi all, Feeling somewhat relived that my latest medichecks test shows my TSH has increased since Jan (same dose - 75mcg) from 0.9 - 3.38. T3 and T4 remained fairly constant (see attached) For the first time I also got TGA tested and they are high, my TPO antibodies have always been negative. So at least

experiences of armour?
hi all - I had my appointment with a thyroid U.K. recommended doctor. I’ve been worried for a while about availability of thyroid S and the changing strengths between batches amongst other things. Felt more comfortable being under someone that can prescribe NDT or T3 going forwards. Especially as

An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

Clear blue test with evap line but looks like a positive... I GOT MY PERIOD SO IT OBVIOUSLY WAS A NEGATIVE.
I purchased a 2 pavk of clear blue pregnancy test the first one had a very faint line almost making think was it an early positive. I decided to take the second test first thing the following morning. Within 3 minutes it wasn't a perfect + sign but I literally swore I had to be pregnant. I looked online

Apixaban and iron
I am taking Apixaban 5mg bd and iron bisglycinate 60mg. Is the iron reducing the effectiveness of the Apixaban and vice versa? If so, what is the solution to raising the ferritin levels?

Poor GP response for years!
Hello. First time poster here Long story short I have been taking Levothyroxine for around 8 years and within this time I have had a constant battle with my GP to manage my symptoms. Unfortunately I have found that it does depend on which GP you get as to whether they will increase Levothyroxine.

CLL Progressing To Next Stage
Today I had a phone consult with my haematologist who informed me CLL has progressed and that at my next appt in 6 weeks’ time he’d discuss with me my options I have to confess to being largely ignorant about the disease (call it burying my head in the sand) and wondered what these options/treatments

**sensitive post** OTD pregnancy result
Hi all, I took my pregnancy test on Monday (my OTD) and managed to wait without any prior testing and to my shock it was a clear positive. I’m obviously over the moon but still in utter disbelief as I 110% believed it hadn’t worked.L and was shaking when doing the test, braving myself for a BFN. Before

Rheumie appt. - Speechless!
I have just returned from my 6 monthly appt with my Rheumatologist. She was talking ‘at me’ before I’d even sat down. Maybe I was rude but I interrupted her and said “Good Morning”. I have reduced to 4.5 mgms Pred and thought she would be pleased by this, but she asked why I was not off Pred altogether

IV Iron Infusion for RLS
Have any of you gotten worse after an IV Iron Infusion? I got Infed 1,000mg iron. For the past 2 weeks my RLS has been worse and I'm getting up to pee 4 times during the night. (No, I haven't changed my liquid intake). Is this a normal reaction? Will things improve ? Is it temporary or am I permanently
