Blood test
Hi just looking for some advice. I had my blood test last thursday at 10.50am and I had taken my thyroxine around 8am. I just had a call from Gp reception and told the GP wants to reduce my thyroxine from 125mcg to 100mcg. My TSH level is 0.06 and free thyroxine is 26, I have asked for a copy of results

Pain support
good morning I am new to this forum. I am undergoing bloods, x-rays etc to see why I am in constant pain, but my Dr has said Osteoarthritis in my knees and possibly fibromyalgia. I have pain in my knees for approx 8 years and the rest of the pain around 2. There are days/nights where I cry in pain.

Iodine contrast for a CT scan with Hashimoto's and reduced T3/T4 after ruptured ovarian cyst
Good afternoon! This morning I attended a hospital appointment for a CT scan to investigate the cause of my tinnitus. I didn't realise until today that I would need to be given an iodine contrast, which was administered during the scan via a cannula. Since having this done I have started to become concerned

I had the worst pain of my life last night. I couldn’t get out of bed for 1.5 hrs!
I come on here sometimes to have a good moan. I’ve had RA since i was 21. (30 yrs). Plus Iritis & Glaucoma. I’ve had an awful time the last month. First i had a very painful flare of my Iritis. Deep throbbing, burning, aching in my right eye, very bad vision. Had to go to Moorfields a&e. Went at about

Non-medical pain relief in pregnancy?
I'm 5 weeks pregnant, and my endo has been plaguing me. My GP and others keep telling me that the pregnancy hormones should kick in and suppress the endo symptoms, but I'm still waiting! I am taking token paracetamol and considering codeine, but am nervous about the potential risks so would rather

Extremely High TSH
Ten months ago I nearly left this world. A lot of stress in my life and I thought I was just run down and tired. Long story short I ended up in ER severely anemic, got 2 blood transfusions and still low blood count so continued with the iron. Upon follow up, for some reason I requested my thyroid tests

Advice please re removal of mercury fillings and detoxing
I had most of my amalgam fillings removed about 20 years ago to try to help relieve migraines, but for some reason there are a couple left. I had a blood test for heavy metals and mercury was found, so I have been advised to have the remaining amalgam removed biologically to try to lessen hypo symptoms

Nighttime angina
I have mild ischaemic heart disease and had occasional exercise-related attacks of angina which now seem well-controlled on Nicorandil 10mg, half-tablet am and pm. A few months ago, I had surgery on a badly-broken femur, and a number of temporary medications including morphine and codeine. Since then

Think I'm just starting out... Heart Inflammation/Myocarditis
Hi all, I've replied to a couple of posts so far but not actually written one myself. I'm not usually one for writing spiels but I'm wondering if it might be cathartic for me, and maybe someone can offer more insight, or get some from this. This seems to be a lovely, supporting space from what I've

Hyperthyroidism first appointment
Hi This is a follow on from my previous post. First appointment with consultant and as my liver enzymes were raised, they are taking me off carb, done blood tests and said other options radio active iodine or surgery if liver still raised. Wouldn’t entertain the idea of the other medication when I mentioned

Armour or the single pill - hair loss
