Hot Flushes & RLS
Hot flushes and RLS I have been having terrible trouble with hot flushes and sweats at night. It seems to trigger RLS and insomnia. It wakes me up and stops me from falling asleep. I have also been having severe anxiety. I went to a specialist in menopause symptoms & they won’t put me on HRT at my age

How do you get independent medical advice!
So the NHS are now protecting themselves! I can’t trust anyone! They’re all f’ing liars! So 5 years ago I was opened and shut at a private hospital! Sent to tertiary care for ‘priority’ surgery! Obviously didn’t get it!.. Waited in excess of almost a year! Tried on various treatments, then taken into

Advice re change of consultant mid treatment
My knee surgeon phoned yesterday to inform me that he is retiring from the hospital. I've been on the surgery list for 7 months and prior to that had been on the surgeons recall list with an offloaded splint for 3 years. He is passing me to the knee surgery specialist. My question is what do I do now

HRT
Hi can anyone give me any advice please , I’m waitng to start HRT because I’m going through horrendous peri menopause symptoms but need to speak to my haematologist first . Is it safe to have hormone patches or spray when you have a MPN ( unclassified ) because of risk of clotting ? praying it’s ok

Tired - Low T4 or menopause?
Dear lovely community, My latest blood test results are attached. I’m 55yrs and I’m also on HRT. In Sept 21 I reduced my T3 from 17mcg a day to 15mcg a day (100mcg x T4 stayed same) and these are my latest test results - see attachment. At 7am I took my daily 100mcg x T4 together with 10mcg x T3

Recovery after Mitral Valve Replacement
A week since discharged from hospital after MVR. Healing well in general. 14 days since the actual operation. For example my breathing is much better and I can even sleep on my back. Although i hear the ticking sound of the mechanical valve it stopped bothering me after the first day. INR levels playing

I’m 44, do I need HRT? Please help!
My periods stopped all of a sudden when I was 43 back in September 2020. They came back in July 2021 for 3 months. Although the first two were only 22 days apart. Then they stopped again in September 2021. I’ve had awful sleep issues, extreme hair loss, extremely dry skin, aches and pains. Brain fog

Poor nail quality
Does anyone else have extremely poor nail quality? My nails are in a terrible condition..if they grow 1 mm, they split and break. They look like I do 15 hours of manual labour a day. I have considered acrylic nails but think that would only make matters worse. This is accompanied by increased hair
