Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

The Holidays can be hard!
Sometimes we dont think about the people that are alone during the holiday season. How difficult it can be with no one to reach out to. I know, l have been there. I knew l was loved, and so are you! MSAA is offering Talkspace, a private online therapy service. 🙂 Limited Space ! Dont do it alone

i’m a 43-year-old guy who’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s for five years. The meds for Parkinson sort of help. I’ve tried lots and lots of things, but the thing that made me feel the very best was B12. I think I have pernicious, anemia and Parkinson’s. I also have a very low B2 levels. If I don’t

Best UK substitue for US Synthroid
Hi, I lived in the US for over 20 years and was prescribed Synthroid for underactive Thyroid. I found that the generic levothyroxine brand was not effective. I have moved back to the UK and would like to find a brand that is as close to Synthroid as possible. Would appreciate any recomendations.

3rd Rheumy says I no longer have PMR but Rheumatoid Arthritis from X-rays and blood tests and prescribed Leflunomide
does this stuff work? The side effects for liver damage potential looks scary to me, someone that once was misdiagnosed with liver cancer and sent to Cleveland for transplant. Yes, fatty liver at age 59. Don’t drink or smoke. Pre diabetic/diabetic Also, does PMR segway into rheumatoid arthritis?

Help with getting a diagnosis
Hi all, I have been struggling for years now with symptoms of hypothyroidism. It’s all really come on over the last couple of years. My weight is out of control, I’m freezing all the time, my hair is dry and brittle, plus many other textbook underactive thyroid symptoms. I’ve been to the doctors

Yet another clueless G.P. - I despair!
So, I've been getting symptoms that I'm pretty sure are down to my thyroid being on the fritz. I was recommended a new G.P. at the practice who takes an interest in autoimmune problems. So I sit down, tell her that my hair is falling out, I'm gaining weight, tired, palpitations etc and that I have autoimmune

JFK - Kennedy and B12
Given the current coverage of the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, it seems not unreasonable to post about his health issues - specifically the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia. This is a paragraph from near the end of the article. Not intended as anything other than an interesting footnote
