Thyroid and HRT- help please
Hello everyone, This is the first time I've posted. I have been taking Thyroxine for underactive Thyroid for around 10 years now. My dose is currently (and has been for the last 3.5 years) 87.5mg per day and I suspect I am undermedicated. I am also taking HRT (Evorel 25 patch (change twice weekly

HRT options
Hello All, I had the Mirena coil (IUD) since starting menopause and was taking oral oestrogen HRT in addition for the hot flushes (nearly 10 years now). I was on Elleste solo 1mg, which I only took every 3-4 days, as I found this dose was okay for controlling the flushes, if I took more my breasts

Micronized Progesterone - Does it do anything?
I started taking HRT a while ago and I felt was all over the place, sometimes on top of the world. sometimes awful - it took me a lot longer than it ought to have done to figure out that in the 2 weeks that I take Oestrogen only I'm amazing, and when I take Utrogestan with Oestrogen I can barely function

Can symptoms come and go?
Hello everyone, At the moment I'm waiting to see the gp tomorrow about thyroid and b12. I'm having various symptoms but they are coming and going. They may not be B12 related. Or they may. Eg.I just did about 20 mins of putting a wash on, making up a bed, not rushing. I've had to lie down because

HRT & Decapeptyl
So last year I went on Decapeptyl injections on their own to try and manage pain. I came off them after 4 injections due to my mood being worse. I went back to the consultant in May who suggested I try them again alongside HRT until I had my MRI scan and have a follow up with him 3 months later (so

Tried it all
I've had depression for 27 years now. I've had 3 major episodes and am going through one right now. I think the best word is torture. My mind is being tortured and all I want to do is sleep. I do get up and do things, but time moves so, so slowly! I did ECT back in 2005 and did 14 sessions and it

TSH how long for suppressed TSH to return to normal after stopping T3?
I saw a āhormone specialistā GP today. Again she tried to tell me I need to reduce my levothyroxine because of my suppressed TSH. Only saw her because sheās meant to be good with HRT, but sheās gone mad about my TSH. My FT4 is only 48-% through range, so if anything, Iād like to increase my levo!
