Switched from Methadone at 10 mg to Buprenorphine 10 mcg
Good Morning, As of June 2023, I began with 5 mg of methadone, and gradually increased it to 20 mg by August. I reported to the forum in early November, a transformation occurred, with the leg spasms virtually gone, caused by RLS at night. I began tapering off, and reduced it to 7.5 mg and have remained

Genetic test
Got a copy of my Tempest test. My MO says "No actionable results" meaning plan of action doesn't change (Triplet Therapy). He also stated I had nothing to pass on to my son as far as hereditary gene problems. I have no clue what any of it means. DNA mismatch expression (normal) Homologous recombination

Hashimoto's TSH reducing with VitD and potential lactose intolerance
Hi As the title suggests I've got quite a few different areas I want to cover and need to see that I'm actually heading in the right direction, and not going crazy as the NHS are still disregarding everything I say. I first posted here 1 year ago, I'd had NHS and private bloods taken. My TSH had been

I helped a long term sufferer today
Got chatting recently to a lady on FB who lives in my town. She happened to mention that she is hypo and been on meds for about 6yrs. Funnily enough she is registered with the same GP Surgery as me. Anyway she was complaining that she was always so tired and achy etc and I asked what dosage she was

Post-private GP update
Evening. A few people asked me to post an update following on from my visit to a private GP today. Well, it certainly wasn’t what I’d expected, which is to say I hadn’t expected much to happen other than another another blood test being needed and possibly a plan of action. What actually happened

Elderly mum exhausted, overweight, unmotivated, yellow tinge skin on sides of face
Hello, I'm really struggling trying to get the GP to sort my mum out. She's nearly 88yrs old and in the last few years has put on an excessive amount of weight, she was a size 12, now she is almost a 20! She is absolutely exhausted, just says she has no energy at all and barely gets dressed each day

Hi everyone I posted a couple of weeks ago and was advised to have bloods done. These are my results so hoping for further advice in supplementing or adjusting doseage. I currently take 50mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily. I also have B12 injections every 12wks. Latest B12 injection given day after

Advice needed on thyroxine management
I am hoping someone can advise me about my thyroxine dose. Here's a little background: In September 2023, I was underweight and having trouble gaining weight and suffering from anxiety. I had been on 75mcg of levothyroxine daily for an underactive thyroid. I had recently developed pins and needles

What next? Thyroid?
I am looking for some advice before I go back to the GP next week, and I feel 'safe' asking it here. First some background might help: I live in Australia- GPs and their nursing staff here are no better educated than elsewhere the world, but fortunately we can buy hydroxycobalamin over the counter

Tried Bovine Thyroid Supplement - feel very ill!
I could really use some help. I just started on a beef thyroid supplement this morning (Grassfed Beef Thyroid by Ancestral Supplements). And it looks like my body is reacting the same way it reacted when I tried 2 porcine thyroid supplements in the past - heart palpitations and severe fatigue. Although

I’ve had a bumpy ride over the past 4 years, some of it self-induced by being impatient. When I started testing my thyroid everything was low inc tsh and cortisol, in retrospect I suppose my body was just trying to survive on drippings. I was never sure I had a thyroid problem as my tsh was always

T3 and endo advice needed / East Sussex
Hi, am really struggling to get T3 medication. I asked for an NHS referral to Sunil Z but got declined due to being out of area. I live in Brighton and he's Surrey and Sussex NHS. Can they just decline like this? I don't have limitless funds to do endless private blood tests and consultations. The cost

is it possible…
is it possible for t4 and tsh levels to change dramatically in 6 weeks? Six weeks ago I did a medichecks test and my tsh was just within the bottom of the range and my t4 and t3 roughly the same as when I tested before…slight drop. Generally, I’ve felt ok for a few months (been on 75mcg, taken regularly
