Spasms and tender shin muscles with RLS/PLM?
I wake in the evening with spasms (a charlie horse) in my lower leg. Here is how chatGPT describes them. "The muscles on the outside of the lower leg, along the shins, are called the lateral compartment muscles of the leg. These muscles include the fibularis longus and brevis muscles, which are responsible

Post microTESE wait
Hi everyone, I’m about to join you all on this rollercoaster (or perhaps I already have) - my husband and I are pursuing fertility treatment where we live in France and are at the point where he has had a microTESE for sperm extraction. We managed to get 6 straws which I am pleased with considering

Best HRT options after total hysterectomy
Hi, hope you’re all having a good day 🤗 After having a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed, I’ve been on Tibalone for a few years now, it seemed to be working, I wasn’t having too many menopause symptoms, but for the last 6 months it has got so bad, I have no energy, low mood, really bad brain fog

CT Scan Results
Hi ladies, I have my coffee and read every morning all questions but barely ask questions. Today I have a question, I’m in Canada and get my basic 15 minutes with my oncologist. When I leave I ask for a copy of CT scan results. This time when I read it, all it mentioned was previous evidence of mastectomy

Levothyroxine breast cancer
My mum has just been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I was just looking into levothyroxine and risk of long term use and breast cancer in woman was one of them. I’m now worried about the risk of cancer. Although I’ve had a double mastectomy because I’m trans I still have some breast tissue remaining
