T3 question
I’m currently on T3 only because of bad reaction with levothyroxine. I’ve been on Liothyronine 10mcg twice a day since 11 November. I haven’t been back to the doctors for a thyroid function test since October as I’ve read frequently that on T3 only they go more on symptoms than levels. I no longer have

Celiac and CKD
I am wondering if anyone here has celiac? I have stage 4 kidney disease and celiac. I’m tired all the time to the point that I am not exercising like I should. I need procrit shots weekly just to keep my iron levels at the bare minimum. I’m not particularly interested in eating which may make the situation

OK - got another question -
Again, I'm 7 months post kidney transplant. My GFR is all over the place. Just. checked today and it is the lowest it has been since 2 months ago. During this first year of transplant, is that normal. Has anyone else experienced this? If you have, what did you do to raise it. I try to eat healthy

Finally passed a kt/v test
Ok, so after 11 months, I finally passed my kt/v test with a score of 1.82, which my nurse said is passing for PD patients. Initially I was on 8 hours, 4 exchanges of 1800ml per night. When I failed the first test, then they moved me to 2000ml per exchange, then 10 hours of 5 exchanges of 2000ml, then

Legal Advice?
Hi All, Although this post is not MS-related, I wanted to reach out to my MSAA Community for their input. Perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction, as I don't really have the money to hire an attorney. Unfortunately, this situation doesn't lend itself to any "free advice and/or attorneys

prednisone and antibiotics
Has anyone had a problem with antibiotics wiping out prednisone. Was down to 2.5-lowest in 8 years. Took antibiotics (Bactrim) and all old PMR symptoms came back. Hurt all over. Read Bactrim and Cipro are quinolones and do not work well with Steroids. Neither Dr or pharmacist knew this. Not sure how
