Oral B12 Update
I last wrote a post about 11 months ago in which I was exploring the use of oral B12 while waiting for a specialist appointment. A lot has happened since then and I have waited to reach a conclusion before posting an update. I have decided to summarise my findings rather than ramble on: 1. I found the

Help with blood results please!
My background is this: I was diagnosed hypothyroid in 1998, by which time, I was in a bad way. My starter dose was 25 mcg, increased by 25 mcg until I reached 150 mcg which, tested showed, was correct. I am tested every year and am now on 75 mcg. I had 2 NHS blood tests last year, in July and November

Thoughts on Dr. Malcolm Kendrick?
I am new to this site, a retired Canadian nurse with high blood pressure and frequent PVC issues. I have read all of the British GP Dr. Kendrick’s books, and am curious about what sense others may have of his opinions. I know he has been vehemently dismissed by the medical establishment as anti big

The Starting Dose of Levothyroxine in Primary Hypothyroidism Treatment
This paper compared patients started on a calculated full replacement dose of levothyroxine against starting at 25 micrograms and incrementing every four weeks. Since this paper - and others - the idea of starting on full replacement dose has permeated the guidelines in several countries. Unfortunately

Switch from HU to Pegasys - update 3.0
Great news from my haematologist: Platelets down from 395 to 337, Hb 153, Hct 0.447. Liver, thyroid and renal profile fine; so too neutrophils and lymphocytes! So, after nearly 15 months of HU, I’m stopping it as of today and carrying on with 45mcg Pegasys per week. She hinted I could eventually switch

Vasculitis vs arteriosclerosis, getting pregnant after a CABG and statin/diet questions!
Hi! I’m 34 and have just had a CABG, I’m 6 weeks post op and feel almost back to normal. Yes, I know, I’m young and have bounced! They think that my coronary arteries were damaged by vasculitis I (might) have had when I was 19, it wasn’t diagnosed at the time as I had just classic viral symptoms although

Suboptimal Thyroid Hormone Replacement is Associated with Worse Hospital Outcomes
Not saying this paper doesn't have its place. Of course it does, otherwise there is too much guesswork and assumption. But, I ask you, is anyone actually surprised by this? The cost of treating (in terms of length of stay and/or readmission) must be vastly more than providing adequate levothyroxine.

Yet one more Metformin and statins query
Please spare me the guffaws and head shakes for asking once again about the value of these two medications in treating prostate cancer. I ask because I was informed recently that they may be beneficial if one has received radiation treatments particularly. No, my witch doctor did not tell me this.

This might sound strange
After my consultation with gastro, I told him my primary took me off statins "for now" and I asked about the meds he had me taking. He screwed his eyes "had mask on" up as though questioning my question. He said you have a perfectly functioning liver no need to stop any meds altho He had just said I
