‘You will never run again’, he said! Ha!
This mountain plateau-esque image represents 20 minutes of slow (Japanese style slow) jogging. Which feels like a real achievement. I completed C25K about 3 years ago, and a big part of that story was the incredible support of the HU community, and bonding with a few individuals within it. I was never

A question on 'high' dosage
So I'm currently on 150mcg of levo and 30mcg T3 and my latest results were still only 65% and 62% respectively. I've just started HRT so I may well continue to see improvements but I'm curious about my dosing. I'm 6'1" and roughly 65kg so I'm on the cusp of underweight. I know we need what we need

Does The Thyroid Affect Potassium Levels?
Hi! A bit of a random question but I’ve recently had some bloods taken by my GP surgery and my potassium levels have come back a little low (3.2 range 3.5-5.3) My TSH is 3.06 (range 0.27-4.20), which I think is a little too high although in range, so it got me thinking if there is a link at all between

HI everyone. I have another scan next month, and I am not looking forward to what it will say. I found out in 2018 I have osteopenia. My doctor believes I am in stage 2/3 now. I fell 2 years ago on the ground next to my car. I rebroke my foot in the same spot as 4 years earlier from a head on collision
