definetley heartburn. My advice is to take it first thing in the morning right after or with your breakfast...you may burb it up a bit during the day but the body will get used to it after a while. Taking it right before bed = bad idea...lying down pushes it back up...

pleurisy is an inflammation of the sac that surrounds the lungs. IMO id stop with the roids and let your body heal...This is not something you want to become any more serious than it already is

i agrre with the above poster...it seems the crash is enough to put you to sleep

squats 3 x week doing 5x5!!are you crazy? YOu are seriously over training buddy. All you need is one good intense 5x5 a week and you should have no desire to do legs again that week...if the intensity is high.... other than that drink a lot of water, eat bannanas, and take magnesium

have you tried any natural supplements for the anxiety? 5-HTP, Tryptophan, etc??? These may interact with your ambien though...ever try to come off the ambien?

any good chiro should be able to address your knees and feet...ART certified or not. The knees may be related to the plantar fascitis. Take care of one and the other may take care of itself. I just realized you are in IL. Im a chiro in the chicagoland area. If you need any furthur help let me know

synthroid basically is synthetic thyroid hormone. So you could expect all the effects of having an increased metabolism. do you have any signs or symptoms of being hypothyroid...tired? difficulty losing weight? dry cold skin? etc....?

ive had no sides...i read the bottle i have and it says for palms and feet too. i ordered it from an online pharmacy in canada where it is OTC

you may have some problems with your gait which would lead to both plantar fascitis and knee problems. a simple thing you can do for your PF though is roll your foot on a cold pop can for about 10mins per day. this will stretch it out and decrease inflammation. be careful when getting out of bed...

28 years old is too young for this buddy...have any problems like this before? Id keep the appt with the endocrinologist. not to get too personal but do you ever wake up in the morning with a hard on...if so that may point in the direction of it not being an organic problem and maybe more...

was there any direct trauma to the shoulder? do you play any sports that require repetitive overhaed motion (ie throwing)

avoid the surgery as long as possible...i have this under the arms...bought drysol (aluminum chloride 20%) and in two applications it has stopped completely!! I believe the drysol comes in a form that allows you to put on hands and/or feet...check into that

Now is a good brand of supps...maybe try retesting in 2-3 months after using the thyroid support

beware of infection like lanky said...any blood in the urine?

i wouldn't worry about the RDW...it's so close to normal.... .2 over may be normal for you. The increased TSH means that your body is detecting low levels of thyroid hormone and is trying to get the gland to pump out more...and you say you have no signs or symptoms of hypothyroid?? weird i...
