Think I have broken my brain ?

[Polo22]

Weird brain day, started looking into if any Liverpool GP's prescribe T3. Thanks to a link on another post.

Then thought hang on lets check B12 levels and if they affect HbA1c, if Metformin affects B12, before I knew what was happening I have spent hours checking everything. Head is spinning, low B12 common in Diabetes, children with IR found to have significantly lower B12. Then get treated with metformin which again lowers B12, apart from inadequate uptake and malabsorption. Now fell right down the research rabbit hole , no point to this really just going to lie down in a dark room ,,,, with multi nutritional factors, in particular reference to autoimmune thyroid swimming around my neuro receptors

HELP

Hi   Polo22 The Brownlow Group of Practices, with [I think] 4 practices across the City, came up quite high on my list for prescribing T3 and for treating Thyroid disorders in general from what I could see.

Here's the link to check: openprescribing.net/analyse/

I know that thing of going on deep dives down rabbit holes: just over a month ago, I did it on different things (researching all things thyroid/finding and saving precious documents and photo's on my FUBAR desktop that I can't afford to lose); AND I went and posted a long convoluted post here in the process before I realised what's called the Lizard Brain (Amygdala) had taken over as I was about to go out! 😬😵‍💫 Too late! ☹️ Quite a few had responded and I'd obviously done their heads in as well 🤯😵🤦‍♀️🤕 So I just gave my head a wobble 🥴 Went out and have never been back to it until I updated my profile with mention of it last night! 🥸🫣

Sending you the dark glasses for when you emerge into the light again Polo22 🥸😉

Why do we do it to ourselves, again and again and again 🤔🤫🤦‍♀️🤭🤣

Polo22 While I can't help with you specific problem, I do want to say I really sympathise.

This happens to me sometimes too, it is exactly that - a rabbit hole and sometimes it doesn't take us to useful places.

Try take a break, maybe have a relaxing bath or similar and come back to it when this new info has had time to percolate.

We need to focus on the big issues first - priority areas - and although other issues are important, they need to be treated as secondary and tertiary etc. in your personal list of what to address.

Best, ebx
