My take on the Nhs
OK I was 2 hours waiting in A&E when I had unusual chest pains but once I was seen I was admitted to hospital for nearly two months . This is back in October 2019 .I can only say the care I was given was outstanding. It turns out as well as needing a triple bypass I had anaemia quite badly which I

Hi I'm just starting this journey of information. I am subclinical hypo - last test TSH 6.83. I've got a lot of symptoms and i'm unsure whether it's all down to thyroid, or if I am vitamin deficient, or if I am starting another fun journey of perimenopause. I'm vegetarian, my periods are regular and

update re post holiday symptoms.
further to my last post I increased to 17.5mg on Tuesday as I didn’t have any improvement in symptoms. I felt slightly better today and was able to do some food shopping without feeling ill afterwards. Had my GP telephone appointment tonight. She was not happy with my self medicating although I explained

Hi, apologies for long post. I’m a 34yo female. I’ve had symptoms that line up with hypothyroid symptoms for years. Had a few tests when my eczema flared up really badly around 12 years ago, which coincides with the time that a lot of the symptoms began. Have had fatigue basically since catching Epstein-Barr

Baker's cysts update
I posted 10 days ago about knee pain and possibly baker's cysts. After blood test showed my crp level at 14 abd wbc at 16.4 I was concerned. My DR wasn't concerned. I've had scaly area on my foot soles and foot area for a few months so I emailed Dr photo's of this plus photo's of my swollen knees/lower

Feeling poorly after eating
Hi everyone. I'm really struggling recently. My last flare up was absolutely awful to the point I thought I was dying (I know that seems dramatic)Everytime I ate 30 minutes later I would feel so poorly. It was like I had inflammation everywhere and had the worst pain in my calves, wrists, feet. Also

Advice on egg freezing and hysterectomy for severely heavy bleeding
Hi everyone, I'm doing a little bit of research so I can take a huge stack of notes to my next gynaecology appointment, and wondered if anyone was able to share their experiences. I'm looking at potentially freezing some of my eggs, as I have endometriomas. I'm still undecided as to whether I want children

T4 not routinely tested
Hi, I am arranging post-hemithyroidectomy blood tests with the GP, and have been told that the lab will only test T4 if TSH reading indicates that it is necessary; wanted to check whether this means that they might miss something. I already know that I have Hashimotos. Thanks for any insight.

Looks Like My Cholesterol Is High, Yikes
I've spent the best part of the day at my local hospital today. I saw my GP as I'd been experiencing increasing shortness of breath over the last week or so and as I had pericarditis last summer I think they wanted to be sure it wasnt anything similar. So I got sent to the one stop shop aka SDEC, same
