Peak flow app with reminders
Can anyone recommend a peak flow recording app for iPhone that notifies you when it’s time to take a measurement? I’ve been using asthma md but it doesn’t have this feature and I keep forgetting to take my peak flow. Thanks in advance.

I had a thyroidectomy in 1984, to remove benign growths. The surgeon said about 25% thyroid remained, but he thought I would not need subsequent medication. I was not told to have regular thyroid function tests, and carried on with my busy life. After unrelated throat surgery in 1997, my consultant asked

starting T3/T4
Hi all I’m about to add T3 to Levo. I’m currently on 100levo and have been prescribed 50 Levo with 2x5 T3 per day. When is best to take the T3? One in the morning with the Levo and one around 12 hours later? Can it be taken near food etc? Any tips and positive experiences would be gratefully received
