Hi, thank you for all for your imput. I went out for lunch today and had six sardines, boy were they salty! Seriously, I'm giving that suggestion a real go. I'm taking mag but not potas, but I can get some and give that a go. I have low t3 and the endo put me on 100mg of iodine, I don't know how that affects anything to be…

Ah yes salt, I'll see to that and get that increased, thanks for the tip. I feel that I drink far too much coffee, adding cream, and although it's within my macro/calorie limits, I might be using it to keep hunger at bay. Here's hoping the salt increase may help with that. I wish I could get to that lovely stage where I…

Thanks for the feedback, yes that's a defo to take photos. I don't know where this calm feeling has come from, I used to fret so badly at the scales not budging, but I now take it on the chin and am happy to have changed from this woe from being a quick fix to a way of life I can feel comfortable with so that's all good. I…

Hi dan the man, thank you for you latest input. I have private healthcare but can't just keep asking the doctor for all these tests, he just won't agree to it. I am dreading the 30th when I have to go back and see him about my iron levels which are very low even with taking iron tablets which he prescribed, when he'll ask…

Brilliant, thanks for the response, now back to reading about it all!!

Oh this will sound the most stupid question and I guess you're going to say everyone's different, because they are,...but is there a ball park time figure on how long these levels take to come down, am I looking at months or years?? Thank you again!!

Thanks a million for the responses, I really get what you're saying, I'm going to get the suggested book and just read and read! I do feel like doctors are gods and I must do everything they say without question. I do feel proud of myself for not taking the statins as instructed, very rebellious for me!! So a change in…

Thank you for your responses, the doctor wrote the prescription for orvarez 10/20 but I haven't got the prescription filled.....yet! I'm really not sure whether to continue this woe, I really do feel well on it. If I continue this woe but am taking statins to reduce the ldl whilst not knowing which particle type it is, it…

Well, thank you to everyone, I must say I was really a bit scared as the numbers by the side of my print out said what the perimeters should be in females and I overshot the limit by miles and then when the doc underlined them in red pen, I came out of his office thinking I would keel over any minute. There's an awful lot…

Thank you for the info. I'm afraid I'm not very sure what all the numbers and names of everything mean, sorry if I appear thick, I'm open to new research even though I don't particularly have a good understanding of it and very much want to continue this woe. I feel quite comfortable with low carb, mentally I feel more…

Is it perfect???? Seriously, are those figures ok then, I haven't a clue, but the doctor showed me the print out and underlined them saying they were dangerously high. I've tried to look stuff up on the net but the medical speak is hard to understand. Any light you can shed on this, I'd be very interested and thank you.

Hi, thank you for your response, I must say I do need to up my water and will take that on board. In terms of salt, it is low isn't it, I'm always fearful to up my salt because I think, well I'm not losing any weight including water weight and don't feel keto flu ey! but I will endeavour to try. Do you think it best I just…
