Lab results help & talking to doctor about med changes
I talked to my doctor before my lab work about possibly changing the dosage of my levothyroxine or even adding T3 because I still don't think I am optimal. She gave me a " we will see" response and said she doesn't want to mess with it too much because adding one thing can make something else wonky.

alpha-lipoic acid
hi all, can you take alpha-lipoic acid at anytime of the day away from thyroid meds? I’ve got burning mouth syndrome/metallic taste in my mouth and read the above can help (with vitamin c and L Lysine) but it can interfere with thyroid meds? Many thanks 🙏🏼

osteoporosis and spinal fractures
Hello, I have been a member on health unlocked forums for many years due to other health conditions. I joined this bone health forum last year 2022, following three fractures out of the blue. (The first whilst cleaning my teeth and coughing) this was last February 14, happy Valentine’s Day lol 😂

preservatives in B12
I have been reacting to subcutaneous SI and looking at what is in Panpharma B12 there is acetic acid sodium chloride sodium acetate. This is hydro. I have bought a lot of these and worry first if I can’t use them and secondly if all have this in them. Any advice please?

Alendronic Acid
I have just been given alendronic acid by my GP to protect my bones. I have been reading some of the side effects and not sure whether to start this medication. I also read on nhs website that may need advice before taking if you have kidney problems. Does anyone else take this medication? I am thinking

Alendronic acid and dental wirk
Does anyone have a similar experience or advice please? I finally started taking Alendronic Acid on Monday under pressure from a GP who said I should not delay. My Dexa scan showed that I have osteoporosis and I am currently on 35mg of prednisolone a day. So I decided to stop being a scaredy cat and

Creaky Joints!
Hello Everyone. Having had trouble going down to 4mg Pred previously, I'm nearing the end of a 6 month taper from 5mg to 4mg. Over the last couple of months I have had a really stiff neck and shoulder pain on one side. I can't decide if this is symptoms coming back, or osteoarthritis, because I definitely

More drugs!
Some of you will know we moved from Cornwall to the Bristol area which obviously meant registering with a new doctors surgery. I’ve been about three times and you can never see the same doctor even though they say make an appointment to see me after your blood test. Anyway the last time I went was partly
