Could This Be Thyroid?
I know what you're going to say... do these tests and just wait and see... I'm very anxious with symptoms right now and just looking for some thoughts. Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some

folic acid
Hi I’m taking 15 mg methotrexate & 5mg folic acid the day after . The day after the folic acid I am very bad, spaced out, headaches & dizzy for few days. I put it down to the methotrexate but recently I forgot the folic acid & took it late. I got all the side effects straight after the folic acid so

Feeling rather blue
So I've been at a fairly useless clinic for the past 5 years - managed 2xICI and 1 egg collection with 2 embryos at the end. All chemicals/ failures. I had a consultation with one of the consultants about my treatment. He dismissed any supplements other than folic acid and vitamin D. Said my AMH (12.07

osteoporosis following pmr
my pmr diagnosis coincided with the start of lockdown so I never saw a doctor. I was eventually prescribed pred and omeprazol over the phone in May 2020 and thankfully managed to taper down to zero by early 2023 after major abdominal surgery. All seems fine for now but my new Gp was shocked that I never

Should I ask to go up on my levothyroxine dosage?
Hi everyone! As suggested, I followed everyone's advice regarding the blood test, and also I've been taking the levothyroxine earlier (leaving more of a gap before eating or taking other medications) for a month, and my latest results are: Serum free T4 level 12.0 pmol/L [7.9 - 14.4] Normal 05 Apr

Hiya everyone, I'm in dire need of some help and encouragement 🤗 to begin self injecting. My Doctor turned around a week ago and told me my b12 was now normal (after liver blood test) and I no longer needed my nhs 12 weekly injections as I am borderline. I hate that word as you can't be in the middle
