Hello. I've been hypothyroid for about 15 years and, in the last 10 years, have developed cold-induced urticaria, which seems to be worsening.

He's Italian, fyi) Where can I find something that will help him at his next doctor's appt?

MD Hi, I have coeliac disease and have been adhering to a gluten free diet for about a year now since I was diagnosed. I ve always had a problem with fatigue and had attributed it to the coeliac disease; however, now that I m on a gluten free diet I had thought that might alleviate it - it hasn t. I can sleep anywhere from 5 to 15 hours a night and always have the same lethargy, despite trying different sleeping patterns, drowning myself in coffee, having B12 injections , and doing awake things like getting out and about. Is there anything you could recommend to make me less sleepy all the time?
