Weight gain
Has anyone gained a lot of weight with hypothyroidism? I have gained about 25lbs and don't want to leave my house. I am basically a recluse. I can't go to town, or work, I just about manage to make it to the store, but struggle because I have no transport and exercise is a non starter. I am always out

feeling tired after levo increase?
hello all. I have recently upped my dose of levi for 75mcg. I have since felt nothing but tired. I did have headaches the first 4 days but they subsided. i also seem to have gained weight since the increase in dose. What gives? Im yawning throughout the day.

medConfidential Bulletin , 8th December 2023
Another bulletin that should be required reading for anyone concerned about who has access to any of their health data held by the NHS in England. I'm not sure if any of this is relevant to Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. It talks about, among other things, the National Data Opt-Out. I opted out

Straw therapy for low speech volume
Hubby has low volume speech. He is currently doing work with the Parkinson’s Voice Project (PVP) with some success — IF he keeps up with it. We recently saw exercises for help projecting with volume using a straw (you blow into a glass of water), supposedly this helps with increasing the muscle tone

Care after SLT
I have no
vision
loss
and I'm 51. This procedure and subsequent trials of both Latanoprost and Tiopex both failed to bring my pressures down sufficiently. They stayed at 26. My consultant suggested an SLT (360) and I had it done there and then in both eyes at my appointment last Tuesday.

That was a busy week!
last week I did run Kent 5k I was meant to have done the 10k but due to my ongoing injury problem did the 5k instead! Since the dark nights have descended I have been struggling with my fear of falling and causing more damage to my shoulder! I broke my shoulder in January and it has been classified

I have
vision
loss
, severe photo phobia, general pain and I too have a returning problem of a pussy eye. I have to keep my eye covered a lot, tons of product, and wash it out. I use antibiotic eye drop when I have this discharge but it just takes it down doesn't get rid of it. .

Recent diagnosis - Low Tension Glaucoma.
Field
vision
test showed
loss
of
vision
in affected eye. Pressures 16/17 in both eyes. Corneas are apparently very thin. Referred to GP. Waiting time to see an NHS consultant is 8 to 12 months. Have decided to pay for a private consultation to confirm diagnosis and to plan a route forward.
