Having a hard time with Jock Itch?
So I've had Jock itch for about a month or more. I've tried powders, creams, oils, ointment, rubbing alcohol, zinc oxide, Lotrimin AF/Ultra, etc... nothing helped. I even tried bleach baths which seems to work ok, but the actual rash never really improved, not to mention the harshness of bleach on you

I’ve lost my actual readings but tsh was less that 0.5, t4 was 20ish (9-21) and free t3 was around 4ish (range 2.6-6.2). I was asked to reduce thyroxine by 25 at this point. I was feeling a little fatigued after exercise but was managing, and dieting was working with steady loss of 1lb a week. I’m

new here - does any of this sound like PA?

I have underactive thyroid so first step whenever I am feeling fatigued is to get that tested - I know by now and gradually educating the GPs in my practice to check more than just TSH and T4, the thyroid levels are now all good. however recently been feeling

Anyone in the US with Hypothyroid Issues?
I was diagnosed about a year ago. I’m still trying to get to 100% but I try to remember that it took me years to get to my diagnosis so I can’t expect my recovery to be super quick. I don’t know the numbers/ratios for UK forums here so I’m hoping there’s some US members who are able to chat with me

Questions regarding the Adrenal Saliva Test
I have ordered the Genova Adrenal Saliva test and would like to do it this week, but I have been taking a zinc supplement and also drank liquorice tea a couple of times in the past week. Does both of these affect the Adrenal Saliva test? I wasn't sure whether to wait a week before I take it. Thanks

Effects of contraceptive pill on thyroid beyond interaction between oestrogen & levothyroxine
Knowing the interaction between oestrogen and levothyroxine, I recently switched from the combined pill to the mini or progestogen only pill. I had done a bit of scouting around ahead of the switch. Lots of searching this forum and the internet in general to see if I could find any interactions. Nothing

Medication Alernative
My son is not diagnosed...but had some traits. I don’t believe in going straight to medication and his traits not severe. Some inattentive, fidgeting and general disobedience. Also tantrums at home. Did some research and started him on On Task Naturally. Gummies with zinc, magnesium, vitamin B6 and C

Flare up
Hi, I havnt posted for a while as been ok but this week I'm not well and only assume it's a hashi flare up. I've had a breakdown 2 weeks ago with just everything getting on top of me family problems and to be honest my thyroid and hashi is a major factor. The doctor back in August put me down to 75mcg

Zinc
Since being diagnosed with macular degeneration recently I have been taking a supplement containing lutein. It also contains zinc. I seem to remember hearing/seeing something about zinc being contraindicated for taking when using predisolone for pmr. I have pmrgca, into third year, down, at second attempt

I have been summoned to see the local Endo at Addenbrooke's as I take T3!!!
Right - tomorrow is the day - I was summoned to see the NHS Endo back early summer and the appointment is tomorrow. Funny isn't it that they have never wanted to see me before and were happy for my friendly BUPA Endo to look after me and move to prescribe T3. So in anticipation of an argument - suggested

9 Healthy Nuts That Are Low in Carbs
Nuts are known for being high in healthy fats and plant-based protein while being low in carbs. Therefore, most nuts can fit into a low-carb eating plan, though certain kinds are particularly low in carbs.
