Since having my thyroid removed in September 2021, I've had a number of blood tests including some last week. As I had an early morning appointment at my GP surgery, I was able to follow the guidelines that are on here about medication etc. Here are the results: Serum TSH - 0.05mU/L (range 0.4-5.0mU

Bowel obstruction after debulking surgery
I was all set to start chemo on Thursday after getting colonoscopy this morning. Unfortunately they found an obstruction. I had complete hysterectomy and debulking surgery 3.5 weeks ago. Getting a barium enema tomorrow to find out more where obstruction is. This is so discouraging as I just feel like

Natural Bone Supplement?
I'm looking to start a good calcium supplement. Which type of calcium is best? Calcium from the sea like "algae" ? I've heard "citrate" is better absorbed as you get older..? Also want Vit. K, boron, Vit. D, magnesium. Does anyone have a brand that has been recommended to you? Thanks!

Underactive Thyroid, Hashimoto, Anaemia or none of the above
Any thoughts on the below please? I am considered normal but hoping to see an Endo specialist privately. I do have some more blood test results re: blood count but thought these might be the key ones. Can add if needed Creatinine 83 (range 53 - 97) Calcium 2.41 mmol (no normal range) CKD 75ml/min/1.73m2

Remaining on a low dose of pred indefinitely
A lot of posts discuss tapering off steroids as a priority, but I'm wondering if there are some members who are happy to remain on a low dose of pred (say, around 5mg or below) and have their GP or rheumatologist's blessing to do so. I mention this because during my last visit to see my rheumatologist

HYDROXYUREA ET
Looking for MPN specialist NJ, PA. Just diagnosed with thrombocythemia on 500 mg hydroxyurea for just about 3 wks plus aspirin. Platelets @ 818 potassium high at 6. A lot to digest. How long will it take to bring platelets within normal? Will I ever get my energy back? Should I be frightened at

Vitamin Test Results advice for GP call
Hello all, I will try to be brief... Not many posts for a while, as I was working with Endo and it takes time between med changes and results etc. Current meds: 100mcg levothyroxine Mon-Sat + 75 mcg on a Sun (since August 2021). Any previous increase and I experience symptoms which I believe to be over-medication

Has anyone tried this for rls and has this helped? Sorry, trying anything that's not addictive and has lots of side effects.

Irritable bladder and Ad-Cal
Once again this forum has proved to be the BEST source of support and info! I have been suffering badly from almost constant stinging for months. Trying lots of different treatments, nothing worked. Felt exhausted as I was getting little sleep. Saw the post about calcium supplements and stopped taking

Actinium/Keytruda/Xtandi trial update after 24 weeks.
At the 24 week mark of my trial at Weill Cornell, I had updated NM whole body bone scan and CTs of chest/abdomen/pelvis. Also had updated blood work. Was expecting my next 6 week infusion of Keytruda the next day. While waiting in the treatment area, there was some kind of a delay. Nurse came over
