Struggling to bring down blood sugars
Hi Friends, As some of you know I've been on a journey and taking T3 was the real game changer. I am under the care of a fantastic private Endo. I've included my thyroid and sugar results in this post. My insulin is elevated indicating insulin resistance. All tests are done fasting and no meds

Apixaban side effects/adverse reactions
Many months ago, I tried Rivaroxaban but found it affects my ability to focus my eyes. Switched to Apixaban and that has seemed OK. However, two things have happened. I had a neurological assessment which found almost zero reflexes in my arms. And my feet have become very dry and are starting to become

Roflumilast/Daxas
Dear all, I just wanted to let all of you with severe COPD that I was given the opportunity last year, March 2022 to start this medication, Roflimilast. I had to request the outpatient appointment to be able to bring the possibility of being prescribed it. HealthUnlocked It wasn’t even mentioned to me

b12 purchase
Hi I was treated by GP for low B12 for a year but once my levels were midway on “normal range” the injections were discontinued and I struggle to find ways to boost my intake orally. I have just purchased Hydroxocobalamin online but am unsure if the dosage is similar to that I was previously prescribed

Thyroid ultrasound
Hi, I wanted to know if anyone was told if they have had a scan that their thyroid was taut? I’ve been getting a tightness feeling in my throat on and off for months and although she said nothing she found was bad I keep getting pain in the front of my throat as well. I’ve felt generally unwell for

inflammation in eyes
I have an inflammatory eye condition either episcleritis or anterior uveitis. I’ve been on steroid drops for this which have given me cataract. On top of this inhave 2 stoma bags for a perforated bowel ( which triggered the eye inflammation). It’s been a horrendous time and I’ve become very down.

thyroid
would anyone consider that the above readings going back to 2017 might be the reason I’ve not felt well for a long long time. I’m waiting on results for a thyroid test I had done yesterday morning

ERFA vs Thyroid S
Hi Folks.Would people say that ERFA has higher percentages of T4 and T3 than in Thyroid S generally? I am presuming it's purer as there are less binders, fillers and chemicals in the ERFA. If anyone has switched from Thyroid S to ERFA, any advice on dosing levels (eg. had to increase or decrease, symptoms

Anyone tried PIP Apixiban, post-ablation?
Hello I am now almost 5 months post-ablation and doing well with no AF/flutters since, and have resumed moderate trail running, cycling etc feeling great. I was taken off all medications except apixiban. I had assumed I would take it for life, but a week ago had to stop it completely due to worsening

Thyroid private blood tests - new company
Hi - A couple weeks ago someone posted a new company offering thyroid tests that have blood drawing clinics in London and is very reasonably priced. I have just had an unfortunate experience with Medichecks as the clinic I chose in London had no appointments for over a month. I am being issued a refund

Recurrent bladder irritation
Since my horrific experience of urinary sepsis I am understandably concerned that it could return, to that end I am neurotically testing it with a dip stick. No infection as yet however I am not convinced that the bladder sedative I was prescribed Solifenacin 5mgs, is doing anything. Does anyone else

baricitinib over 65
hi I hade a rheumatology appointment last week where I was told that if I was a new patient at 65 I wouldn’t have been given baricinib as new guide lines were that because it could cause coronary problems or some cancers this risk is higher over the age of 65. I was given the option to half the dose

COPD & thyroid problems
After having what I thought was an elongated COPD exacerbation lasting over 8 weeks which has resulted in me taking 4 lots of antibiotics and 2 lots of steroids, it’s now been suggested that I may have a thyroid problem. I always felt the problem was in my throat region, with lots of throat clearing,
