Tapering
Are there any typical tapering schedules? Worried (very). Diagnosed in June and initial 30mg 'cured' everything and more. Tapered down to 5mg by dropping 2.5 to 5mg per month . November had a relapse - body more or less ok but severe pain in fingers and wrists so went to see doctor - a DIFFERENT doc

TRH Stimulation test
I have had Hypothyroid symptoms for four and and half years, but my bloods are within reference ranges. Just wanted to ask if anyone on the site has been diagnosed using the old TRH stimulation test, and if so how long ago this was, and if it was on the NHS or through a private endocrinologist? Thanks

Levo, Anti-thyroid meds’ and Ativan?
Wondering if anyone has any information on taking Ativan along with Levo and propylthiauracil? Going on a long flight and I have a severe fear of flying, and heights. I think I’ve been sick with worry for over two weeks now. I’ve had this awful rocking sensation like being on a boat and it’s lasting

A lifeline for leaky lung cells .
Pulmonary edema is a life-threatening condition characterized by abnormal accumulation of intravascular fluid in alveolar air spaces and interstitial tissues of the lungs due to vascular leakage across the alveolar-capillary barrier. Currently, there are no specific therapies to improve vascular permeability

Alternative treatments for Busulfan
My wife was diagnosed with E.T. five and half years ago, she is 78 and lives in the UK. At the time, the main treatments were Hydroxycarbamide, followed by Anagrelide and Busulfan as a last resort. She was first treated with Hydrox but the side effects were severe and she was then treated with Anagrelide

Jack Frost.
I remember years ago When Jack Frost was my friend Thinking back to days gone by Why did that friendship end? He always made me catch my breath When he suddenly appeared But soon I would be making steam With nothing to be feared Cosy nights by the fireside With a cup of tea Whilst Jack played around

A paper modelling needs for combination therapy
This paper has been published, which ytries to link preferred T4/T3 combination therapy to the fraction of active thyroid remaining. This is a first step to legitimising combination therapy. Its only fault is that it still categorises groups as to preferred dosing, whereas it doesn't really cover individuality

Deja Vu. CEBOC may not be working.
So after great results from chemo and again two months after, I've come crashing down again 😔. Ca125 has started rocketing again just as it did in February, three months after chemo. They've brought my CT scan forward to next week with a review the week after. To say I'm gutted, scared, weary and a

Colomycin Treatment
I was prescribed colomycin about 5 years ago for bronchiectasis. I nebulize it twice a day. My concern is that although I feel quite good I haven't had a review of my condition or given a sample of mucus for over a year and feel as if I've been forgotten. I have been working with medical students

thank you
Ahh, just wanted to say thank you to all of you that are so knowledgeable about the thyroid. I am always amazed at what you know and how you analyse it. I am Hashi and though I have tried to understand it, the chemistry bemuses me and I try and learn from this forum. There are so many amazing people

I finally have first Endocrinologist appointment!
The appointment is in just under 3 weeks and I have a few questions. What should I expect? I know to ask for an Ultrasound of my neck as my barium swallow test came back normal, are there any other tests I should request? I genuinely don't know what sort of questions I should be asking, is there anything

Swallowing Improvement with Therapy
My wife has had PSP for about 5 years now and is experiencing the classic indicators of the disease. She has a PEG tube, difficulty swallowing and is on a honey thick diet, has difficulty talking, minimal jaw opening and neck movement, and of course no vertical eye movement. She was hospitalized 3 times

“CLL & Heartburn” ??
Weird question but ... the original way I was diagnosed with CLL was because I was having some very strange “heart burn” type of symptoms. And my doctor did a range of test - thyroid, barium swallow & a CBC - everything came back ok except a small amount of acid reflux in the barium swallow & my WCC

What I did on Holiday, as promised.
Dear All, I went to 'Sandpipers', which is Run by ReVitalise, formerly the Winged Fellowship Trust- founded by Joan Brander MBE. (If anyone want more details, on this, please contact me.) The Centre is, about a mile- or so- outside Southport and at the far end of the, absolutely beautiful, Marine Lake

Neuromod. Feedback from my official review
Hello folks, I have been back to Dublin for my official first review. I have to report that there has been no lessening in the level of noise or intrusiveness of my T. Also, in my left ear, the Hyperacusis has got slightly worse. That is the down side. They enquired in relation to my use of the device

Living with a Lung Condition
Hello, I am new to this community. I was diagnosed with Legionaires Disease two years ago and I have recently been told that I now have Bronchiectasis. I am finding it quite difficult to adjust to this news and understand what this means for me generally and long term. It's been really positive to read
