half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

What are the better treatments for metastasis of the bone and pelvic lymph nodes?
Just found out the past few weeks from a biopsy and a PET/CT scan that the cancer was not contained in the prostate but metastasized to the pelvic lymph nodes and the bones. Was a surprise to me and to the urologist as well. He is recommending no surgery but a multimodal therapy with androgen deprivation

Feeling a bit depressed again with these results......
Just had some bloods done this morning, feeling exhausted this week, no energy, falling asleep all the time despite being on steroids for adrenal insufficiency, feeling a bit nauseous, headachey all week. It seems like all that's changed in 6 months is that my cortisol is lower, my TSH is higher (was

Folic acid and digestive issues
Has anyone suffered loose bowel after starting folic acid? Only been on it a week and started getting loose bowel since then, wondered whether this is the cause. If so, should I stick with or try methyl folate instead?

Please help me re medication for hyperthyroidism and B12 deficiency - huge brain fog and tiredness.
I am really lost at the moment. I was told in Jan I was just anxious and turned away from A&E when I actually had a pulmonary embolism. I was rushed back in and given 3 months of thinners as I am apparently otherwise healthy - no need for a longer course. Case closed they said, despite me asking why

Tests results: MTHFR mutation
Hey, hope everyone is doing well. So just as a bit of background I'm prepping for my third and final IVF cycle next month. After my second cycle failed my consultant recommended a heap of tests to just "cross the ts" and it's taken ages for all the genetic tests to come back. In that time the tests

T3 starting dose too high?
Hi all, looking for some advice. Have had hashi's for 3 years and my GP has had me undermedicated for all of that time (25mg Levo rising to 50mg after about 1. years and only 7 weeks ago he allowed me to increase to 75mg at weekends and 50mg during the week). My results in February were: FT4: 14.6

self-inject intramuscular vitamin B12
Hi all,I often read these posts but not very often write in. I was diagnosed with PA in 2000 using the schillings test. I have been having IM injections every 3 months ever since. However since COVID I have been self injecting. My surgery does not really support that, so I just buy supplies from Germany

Causes of lower Active B12
Hi - what are the reasons for Active B12 being low or rather lagging behind serum B12 for some people? I am, very fortunately, currently getting 3x a week Hydroxocobalamin injections and am finally starting to do well!! My B12 was tested during a short gap in treatment - it was >2000 (I know testing

B12 deficiency and night sweats query
Hi - I don't have a diagnosis but I hope you don't mind if I pick your expert brains 🙏 I (Female, 45) have fairly regular blood tests due to medication I take for inflammatory arthritis. My MCV has been a little bit high for years (up to 102). Early on doctors would question it and because of a family

Losing my worms
I struggle to find my words and it feels like it's getting worse. I'm really hoping that it's reversing out. Has anyone else felt their mental symptoms (fog, confusion, memory, mood) get worse before getting better on B12 treatment? I've been SIing eod for about 9 months and am also, much more recently

Can anyone comment on my daughter's blood tests and advise what - if anything - we should do next?
My daughter is 18. I first requested blood tests with the GP when she was 15. This was during covid. I had to fight over the phone for them but she'd put on weight rapidly, she especially looked to be retaining fluid in her legs, feet, hands and face. Other symptoms = tiredness, slow movements, dry eyes

B1 Thiamine.
30+- days of Thiamine trial. It has been life changing. (At the dosage I administered) See Elliot Overton for result based research not unproved projections utilizing conjecture about the meaning of scientific study. I used a different method to deal with the healing too quickly. Rather than adjust

Consultant referral and other stuff
Recently had my regular 3 month TSH test and it seems that im still just within the range. Yet again, seen another different doctor at the surgery as i can never get to see the same one. This doctor, even though ive been on 75mcg Levo for 6 months with my symptoms holding strong or becoming worse, told
