Thyroid private blood tests - new company
Hi - A couple weeks ago someone posted a new company offering thyroid tests that have blood drawing clinics in London and is very reasonably priced. I have just had an unfortunate experience with Medichecks as the clinic I chose in London had no appointments for over a month. I am being issued a refund

I have my colonoscopy this Thursday
hi all I have been request by my gp to go for a colonoscopy after my fit test came back with a score of 129… at the time I didn’t really ask what the score meant because my mind was racing after being told that individual stool sample was positive. My symptoms started at the start of January, going

Hearing loss and tinnitus and driving
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum so would just like to relate my journey. I started in June with sudden unilateral hearing loss, vertigo and terrible tinnitus.The first couple of months have been horrendous, not helped by the fact that I could not be seen in a timely manner by the NHS. I eventually

Sigmoidoscopy
Hi Had a sigmoidoscopy on Saturday, which I had under sedation, I found it a bit uncomfortable. Diverticulosis found, which I already knew about from a colonoscopy a few years ago. Biopsies taken. Yesterday bowel felt fine, however today I am in quite a bit of lower bowel pain. Just wondering why I

How to get Tirosint?
Morning all! The reaction I'm having after taking after taking my levothyroxine tablets has become more overt and severe. I had stopped it for a while and reintroduced it and within 10 -15min of swallowing I have throat, lip and facial swelling with breathing problems. I have Teva for comparison

What's your experience of coming of steroids
So I have my rheumatology appointment next week so hopefully will get a better understanding of what's going on. In the meantime I am on mycophenalate and a weaning dose of prednisolone for eye inflammation, started with 800mg in December and am now on 2.5mg before stopping in 2 months time. However

Diet?
I now realise that many if not all, who have hypothyroidism, also have gut problems. When I first started trying to inform myself about all this, I got into a stalemate regarding diet - I’d always loved broccoli, cabbage, swede mash, kimchi etc, not to excess but whenever I felt like having them. But

Gentamicin Nebulised
HiI have bronchiectasis and pseudomonas colonisation. I have been on Colomycin for 10 years but have now seeked a second opinion for my condition (maybe a bit late but I took Littlepom's advice). They are looking to change me to Gentamicin instead. At present I am on IV antibiotics for 14 days. Fifth

Does anyone have a comment about taking a Lecithin supplement for a person with PD?
I have long taken a Lecithin capsule daily for memory enhancement as it is a precursor of acetylcholine. A recent article about PD stated "loss or drop in dopamine levels results in the accumulation of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger nerve cells use to signal muscles to contract, leading to the

Interesting article: Decreased risk of dementia in patients with AF taking oral anticoagulants
https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2022/12/29/WNL.0000000000206748 “Conclusions: In patients with incident NVAF, OACs were associated with a decreased risk of dementia, particularly in the elderly. This warrants consideration when weighing the risks and benefits of anticoagulation in this population

omeprazole long term
Hello, advice please on long term use of Omeprazole, one 20mgs a day. I've been on Omeprazole for years now as I suffer from GERD. I recently asked my consultant about coming off Omeprazole but he stated as it is such a low dosage, to keep taking. There is so much on the internet about this medication

Post ablation tubal sterilisation syndrome (PATTS)
Has anyone else had both of these surgeries and gone on to have excruciating pain? During my surgery they found endometriosis and I've since had an MRI and CT scan (as well as lots of useless ultrasounds that find nothing). I've been diagnosed with deep infiltrating endo on ovaries, peritoneum and bowel
