PMR/Prednisolone and dental implants
Hi, I’m enquiring as to whether anyone else has experienced issues with their dental implants since being diagnosed with PMR and taking Prednisolone. I’ve been having trouble with one of my dental implants for a couple of weeks and on seeing the dentist today have been told that the implant has loosened

Liothyronine suppliers
hi there. My endocrinologist has suggested I try Liothyronine due to my low levels of T3. Unfortunately he is not able to give me an nhs prescription, but is willing to support and continue to monitor me if I were to source this myself. For anyone with experience in this I’d be really grateful for

T3 clearing the body
Hello Thanks to all who help on this list. Sorry I can't offer more help, still , it seems, in some post Covid state. I tried to look through past posts to see how long T3 takes to leave the system. I think it was recommended not to take for 8 hours before a blood test. I'm going to get some

New to the group - looking for some realistic advice on recovery time after loading doses
Hi all. I am new to the group and this delightful condition we all have! Similar story to many, blood tests showing low B12/folate/ferritin (although this hasn't been mentioned at all by my GP). Had 6 x loading doses followed by 5mg folic acid that I'm on for three months. I was told last week that since

Hello
Hi there This is my first post so wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 6 years ago, and struggled with accepting there was an issue and then with the wealth of conflicting opinions. I couldn’t get why if it is such a common thing why it’s not taken more seriously

Ferritin dropping, FT3 is not great
Hello wise ones. I'm coming up to a year since a diagnosis of Hashimotos, and on Levothyroxine. I've been trying to get the dosage increased in tiny increments of 12.5 ug after each blood test. So far I've been successful but it feels like slow progress. I'm currently taking 87.5 ug daily. My doctor
