Hi

Thank you for your response

I have been on the furosemide for 2 years as I also have a heart condition and my body especially my legs swell up without it

Am worried now

Many years ago I found I had an allergy to sulphonamides. My local chemist was alerted and bells ring if I'm prescribed something with it in. A few years later I was given Lasix and started losing the plot. Whilst I was still able to think a little I did some digging in BNF-British National Formulary which told me Lasix was Furosemide made up in a sulphonamide base! I rang my chemist and they denied this but I told them where to look and they came back and apologised. I've since read that thyroid suffered shouldn't take sulphonamides but know no further details but that might be worth looking into.

Hi Gibbo22. I have had severe me/cfs 28 yrs. Am rotating various supplements etc private doc. Also on 100mg losartan for hypertension and thyroid profile out awsitin another.vi have lots allergies/intollerances. Best diet for me, recommended by private doc, Paleo or caveman diet, though some of ut I cant tollerate so trial n error. Not having carbs til later in day n keeping off grain sugar dairy + stuff I cant tollerate helps me. Everyone different so experiment urself. All the best. God bless

Hi Glasscaves, Mind me to ask, how long have you been on the Paleo diet? have you felt any improvements re thyroid? I read that many have reduced their Levo or got off it after being on wheat free, grain free, and cary free.

Hi I've been on the diet about 2 yrs. Can't tollerate carbs til later in day and keeping off them til evening and sticking as best I can t paleo except stuff I'm intollerant of has helped me be able to get out of bed. ME severe so v limited energy 4 only simple tasks. Not sure about thyroid effects but I couldn't cope at all with carbs n grains n dairy etc. Take care

The Harcombe Diet is really working for me. Swelling reduced by 90% and weight still coming off me. Feel fantastic on it.
