Any experience with Roderick Lane? Please PM me. Thank you
Hello, like others who have posted similar requests on here before, I am considering a consultation with Roderick Lane. There do not seem to be any reviews of him and I am wary of seeing any practitioners without a recommendation due to previous experience. I am currently on T4 and T3 and adrenal cortex

My symptoms have returned - do I need additional Levothyroxine?
Lots of info in my Profile/Biography. I have been on T4 for many years. After adding privately-sourced T3 to my prescribed T4 around 2019 I have been jogging along reasonably well until a year or so ago, when symptoms started to return. Extreme tiredness, inexplicable weight gain, bad brain fog, and

why am I so happy?
I had a positive pregnancy test today. I wasn’t surprised I was pregnant. I was trying to wait a little longer. But I am amazed. I’m so happy, interested, and curious about my pregnancy journey. Things could be worse right now, but for the most part, I’m hopeful. My partner was happy. He felt so proud

blood test coming up
I have an appointment with my private endo at the end of the month and was wondering whether I need to delay taking my T3 24 hrs prior to the test? I always leave my T4 before it but I have to split my T3 as it’s taken in 2 doses, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Mirtazapine back pain and bladder
Anyone have a bad experience with Mirtazapine? After 4 days I couldn’t handle being a zombie so I stopped. Week later I had uti symptoms and major lower and upper back pain. This has been going on for about a month. None of my urine test have been negative for a uti. But yet I went through 3 courses

Buprenorphine @ 2 weeks, issues
Hi, I've been on buprenorphine (suboxone 2.0mg as i'm in USA) for little more than 2 weeks. This is after augmenting on pramipexole, getting off that last year, and having some moderate but transient response to IV Iron 5 mos ago that has mostly gone away (despite my ferritin levels still being 300)

Latest results..... what am I doing wrong?
These are my latest results, I will be restarting my B12 injections as my symptoms have come back and that made me want to retest. The levels have dropped quite a lot and quite quickly considering the last time I had them done they were well over 2000! I'm speaking to my Endo tomorrow as I have a

CT3M Method - some questions
I shared recently that I hadn’t been feeling quite as good on my T3 recently as I had earlier on in my treatment (which started just over a couple of years ago). With that in mind, I decided to re-read Paul Robinson’s excellent Recovering with T3 book, and the section on circadian T3 (or CT3M) resonated

Seladelpar update
About a month or more ago, I wrote about this upcoming drug's potentially to be the next drug for second line treatment. By that I mean that for some reason someone was not responding to or not able to take Urso. 40% of patients are failed by Urso. Cymabay, the pharma who manufacturers Seladelpar,

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum but not new to C25K, over the past 10 years I've probably completed it 12 - 15 times, each time congratulating myself with two weeks off and some wine and cake!!😀 Earlier this year I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and decided to embark on the C25K again, I completed

How long before eating?
General advice is leave at least 30 minutes after taking tablets before eating. I’ve seen other advice saying it should be 60 minutes. The reasoning being that there is “better absorption” but no one defines what that means. What I want to know is what difference does it actually make to absorption

Update on MichaelJH
Good morning! I rang Michael last night as I saw elsewhere that he was quite unwell. At the start of the week he woke early feeling rather strange and thought it best to check his blood glucose level. It was fine but he was having trouble focussing on the phone screen (Libre 2 sensor). The room started

NDT vs T4 T3 combination therapy
Hello everyone. Please share your experience NDT vs combination therapy. Currently I am on combo but still have symptoms (I have no thyroid). I am doing better on combo than on T4 only. I want to try NDT and see if it will make me feel better. Since both of them mainly contain T4 T3 may I expect significant

Advice please for next Roseway appt
What size T4 capsules should I ask for next? I currently take 125mcg split as 2 x 50 and 1 x 25. I'm taking Roseway's compounded T4 capsules so they can't easily be split. I had to test this week as I need my appointment next week in order not to run out, but I only completed my transition from NDT

Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone

Cortisol issues
I'm fortunate in having a good GP who is very concerned about my total exhaustion and inability to cope with everyday life. She wrote to my rheumy who authorised a 9am cortisol test. It came back as 104 and he has arranged a short synacthen test in two months time. I've asked the rheumatology dept for

Other blood results
I now have more results Serum folate 14.3 (3.1-17.5) Ferritin 138 (13-150) Iron 14 (5-28) B12 280 (200-940) Since they are in the range ‘everything is normal’! The coeliac one was clear so I can now try gluten free for 3 months to see if it makes any changes. But I am still tired, muscle aches

Thyroid - related test results
Hello Is anyone able to interpret the test results my endo requested in addition to the usual Thyroid tests? These are they: FSH 9.4, LH 2.8; Prolactin 190; Testosterone 21.3; Cortisol 350. I think he's concerned about my Pituitary Gland. ALSO: I've been tying myself in knots over the equivalence

TEVA 100mcg Thyroxine
I had taken another brand for many years and have now been switched to TEVA. This happened a short while ago and since then I feel much more tired with aching joints. Is this coincidence? Overall my dose has been reduced from 100/day to 100 Mon-Fri and 75 Sat, Sun. This is addition to T3 12.5 mcg
