should you take supplements at the same time as the Pred dose?
I recently read not to take calcium supplements at the same time as my morning pred dose, are there any other wisdoms about taking Vit D, potassium etc at the same time as pred ? or is it better to not take anything else at the same time? thanks

Is this right or should I request a second opinion?
Been suffering fatigue on another level, weight gain, brain fog etc etc so ordered private bloods for fatigue through medicheck. Results came back as low iron, low Vit D and low T4. THS was normal. Doctors notes was possibly hypothyroid but seek GP advice. Doctor wanted to wait for iron supplements

Back again!
Hi everyone. I was an avid poster here many years ago (where has the time gone?). I did lose 6 stone in a year and was feeling fab at 40. Now I am 44 and put 5 stone back on over the past 4 years! My body seems hugely resistant to losing weight. I think its fed up! I try all the "tricks" that worked

Blood Test Result
After being on ADT for two weeks, my blood test shows my Testosterone to be 109 (low). I guess this is the goal of ADT, to lower my Testosterone. However, in the same test result, the following was flagged as either low or high. Can my ADT attributed to the issues flagged by the test result? RBC

For those who take Biotin - how much should I take?
Hello, I'm experiencing thinning and brittle hair despite good Vit D, Ferritin, Folate and B12 levels. I've been doing some investigation as to the potential causes and it seems I'm taking too much Selenium (350µg)but I'm not sure about ideal Biotin levels (I'm currently taking 100µg daily). I had

Liothyronine Trial
I saw an NHS Endocrinologist last week who has agreed to my request for a 3 month trial of Liothyronine, something I have wanted for many years. The suggestion is to drop from 75mcg levothyroxine daily to 25mcg and to take 5mcg of T3 in the morning and again at lunchtime. After nearly 20 years on Levo

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,

TMD pain
Anybody got any advice on TMD? I have now had two bouts of this awful jaw pain and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with being over/undermedicated. The first time I got it, I had recently gone up from 50 to 75mg levo and this time it follows a recent increase to 100mg. I've had to come off

feeling overwhelmed with information.
good morning As you know I have recently upped my supplements to include vitamin d, b complex, k2, magnesium and selenium. I already take cod liver oil on top of my prescribed fluoxetine, Levo, cerazette (birth control) and loratadine(antihistamine). Can I take everything bar the Levo at the same time

testosterone boosters after ADT?
I finished SBRT in September and a six month course of ADT in March. I asked my endocrinologist about zinc and Vitamin D to aid T recovery, and he said it probably wouldn’t help, but won’t hurt anything. I saw some “testosterone support” from Wieder at the store and am considering it. It augments

Which Vits to test for

are you taking vitamins / supplements, in conjunction with use of a prescription bone treatment?
let me know how it's going, and what you're using, please, thanks ... after all, the main trial for prolia had participants on daily calcium supplement with vitamin D.
