closing my mouth and not drooling
I am having difficulty keeping my mouth closed all of the saliva that I’ve produced Runs down my face. Any advice to keep my mouth closed so I can swallow. I have no problem swallowing food. The saliva is excessive and my gums gums feel swollen. I can’t brush very well.

what’s next after teriparatide
What have people taken after finishing teriparatide? I have a potential problem now as my DEXA was due on Monday which would have given me time at least to discuss a follow on with the specialist nurse. But of course it’s been cancelled 😠 and I can’t get one till 24 October when I will have finished

Tocilizumab side effects
I started TCZ injections three weeks ago and am experiencing side effects of mouth ulcers, cold sores and runny, sore nose. Does anyone else have these and if so, how long did they last, I've been told should go after a few weeks.

Oral thrush with hyper
So, it took a total of 3 weeks to get my medication dose changed recently. In that time, my symptoms came back as it was not controlled on the dose I was on. Shock. Not impressed. One of the symptoms I got this time though was a ridiculously dry mouth. It was so uncomfortable and nothing was helping

Iron Test Results
Could I please share my results, I struggle sometimes to follow what I should be looking for. I had a full fasting iron panel test that had to be repeated because my transferrin saturation was below range at 15% (suggested range was 20.0 - 40.0)., therefore, I am wondering if 40mg Solgar Gentle

dental treatment and antibiotic cover
hi everyone just a quick update following my post about dental cover for those with prosthetic heart valves. As you know, my dentist was very reluctant to offer antibiotic cover even though I’m considered high risk for endocarditis (mech heart valve and previous endocarditis). I’ve had a bit of a battle

Coordinating pill times help please
Need some guidance please on the best timings for thyroxine and vitamins. I’ve just received my first pack of thyroxine and not decided on when to take them yet. I feel night time might be better as I’ll have the day free to take everything else. Although I’m leaning towards the morning as I wake up

Recent test results 'Satisfactory' - NOT! - and any advice about supplements on which order to take?
I've just looked online at my latest test results and the top box from my surgery says 'Result -
Satisfactory
' and 'What you need to do -
No Further Action
'. Quick history... I've got hashimotos, diagnosed in 2018, started on levothyroxine in 2020, noticed significant hair thinning/loss

Having dental treatment whilst on warfarin
I am 78, male and take warfarin for atrial fibrillation. I have to have a wisdom tooth extracted and a gum deep clean because of gum disease. I will need to take warfarin as usual but am worried about the possibility of heavy and uncontrollable bleeding and also because the NHS dentist wants to perform

Dental treatment. Tooth extraction.
I (82years old) have mastocytosis. One of my teeth has to be extracted. Has anybody had any experience with local anaesthetics and the necessary medication for the procedure? Is there a dentist in London who would treat under the circumstances, private or NHS. I am quite desperate and very grateful for

throat pain discomfort
is it possible having high antibodies to cause throat pain made worse by eating. Saw ENT who thought it might be thyroiditis causing my throat symptoms?

Antibiotic cover for dental treatment
Hi. I’m at high risk of endocarditis as I’ve had it before and have a mechanical valve. I’ve got a couple of dental appointments coming up and the dentist refuses to prescribe antibiotic cover, citing NICE guidelines. M gp is reluctant to prescribe too on the basis of the same guidelines. I don’t have

Vitamin results are in, advice please.
I finally managed to get a Ferritin test from GP after latest Medichecks showed it had gone down despite taking 20mg of Solgar Gentle Iron. Well, the NHS one shows it’s gone up to 31 from 24 which is amazing really as I haven’t been taking any iron for two weeks!!! So I’m getting no help from them.

Besremi - Sore throat, swollen/bleeding gums
Title says it all. These are some of the more serious side effects I'm having from Besremi. Symptoms follow injection by roughly 5-7 days. Please post if you have these issues as I'd like to confirm this as a side effect. I've been having this issue since shortly after my first injection on 1/29 of this

Review of Top 10 Prescribed Drugs and Their Interaction with Dental Treatment
Yet another paper which hints at quite a bit - bit then is behind a paywall. If anyone has access, just knowing the outline of what they say could be very interesting. We have had many question the impact of thyroid issues on their teeth and dental treatment. [i]Dent Clin North Am. 2016 Apr;60(2):
