Good News - Nephrologist Visit Today
I had my yearly visit with my nephrologist today and received great news (Praise God!)
My eGFR has increased nearly 20 points (74) and creatinine decreased to .83. No protein in urine and sodium, potassium, phosphorus, albumin (as well as other parameters) are all exceptional!

Another consultant cancellation
My husband was due to speak to the upper GI consultant next week.It has been cancelled again 3rd time. He has been waiting 12 months now for this appointment. I am so angry. I am going to ring the Secretary tomorrow to ask if they can please reconsider. He is very poorly now. Sleeping mostly, not eating

Just need to have a rant about this horrendous condition 😡
I thought this would be a good place to have a rant about my IBS. I am completely fed up of this horrendous condition completely taking control over my life. I have not slept in days due to constant nausea and pain and not being able to get in any sort of comfortable position so I can sleep. I find

Iodine
I know there are discussions about the possibility of worsening Hashimotos but would there be a problem having a very low dose of it whilst on T3 and T4 meds if careful?

4th line palliative systemic options?
Oncologist phone call today was not the news we were hoping for.PSA had been at 20 past 4 months and hubby was diagnosed as stable. Monthly PSA blood work is done and this month PSA jumped to 29. Oncologist is sending hubby for another Bone and CT scan. She has suggested either abiraterone, clinical

Besremi Update 15 Months
Hi Community! I titrated my Besremi to 180 from 150 over the last three doses (a bit of a story there for another time). I assumed I'd need a phlebotomy as I hadn't had a CBC for 7 weeks and my Hematocrit was already 40 but it went down 2 points! Almost never happens without phlebotomy. Everything

On Lithium, have hypothyroidism,no longer responding to T4 and less to T3. Starting low iodine diet.
I have just started a low Iodine diet as set out by a recent book advocating this to reset the thyroid for Hypothyroidism patients. I have been on Lithium by Bipolar for 15 years. 7 years ago I developed Hypothyroidism. Initially I partially responded to T4 but after 3-4 years I completely slowed down

Don't know What's happening to me!!
Doc recommended 2 x Amytryptyline in Feb., after it was discovered I had 2 x damaged discs in my lower back. Referred me to Physio, (appt. on 22nd!)I was OK for a couple of months, then started to feel dizzy, lost my appetite and taste, everything tastes sweet!, even a roast dinner. Went to see ACP

suspected epidural tumour
Hi all! Hope you are all doing well. My dad just got his scans back, and to go along with his rising PSA (over 260 now), the said they suspect he has an epidural tumour. Our MO typically glazes past his scan results as she doesn’t seem them significant, I want to make sure I am right to be worried here

Vitamin and mineral supplements? My latest results
Hi all, I've just had my latest Blue Horizon results (see image) which I would welcome comments on, particularly regarding the vitamins and minerals I might need to supplement. All blood tests were done no later than 9.30am, no levo for 24 hours before. I've worked really hard this year on my diet, but

Ramblings of an old Parky , Vitamins and finding a professional methodology
I have read so much information on this theme that I should know the subject, but I do not , and the more I read the more I appreciate those professionals that study and research it . My general understanding is that in the past a diet resulting from a complete lack of a particular vitamin would cause

RAI and persisting inflammation research
Not sure if this has already been posted, but will definitely be following this: BTF research award: 'Does persisting thyroid inflammation explain poor quality of life after radioiodine therapy (RAI)?' https://www.btf-thyroid.org/btf-research-award-winner-2023 Just reading the title I thought OMG

Advice urgently needed: Endo reducing levo dose yet again based on flawed blood results.
Hello everyone I had thyroidectomy 1992 and since then been on levothyroxine. Roughly, 6 weeks ago levo dose was reduced by GP from 75/50mcg alternate days, to 50mcg daily due to T4 being over range. A very toxic iodine based medication I'm prescribed to treat afib, namely Amiodarone, is pushed T4 over

Iodine Uptake?
I need to use iodine solution, but am not sure what "absorption of iodine from this solution may lower the iodine uptake of the thyroid" means in terms of my hypothyroidism. Does the reduction of uptake mean that I will be more hypo, or less?
