Menopause causing pain

[Peggymae-18]

My doctor gave me HRT patchers but a-lot of my friends say do-not go on them Since having the Marina coil taken out 2 years ago I keep getting uti. I have under active thyroid. What supplements would anyone recommend for me please.

Hi, I'm sorry your having pain, but I have to ask do you have a diagnoses of Hughes/APS syndrome?

We have sticky clotting blood and it's not advisable for us to go on HRT.

We also don't suggest any supplements without talking to our specialist as many have contra indications to our medications.

Thanks for your advise. I don’t suffer with Hughes/APS syndrome. My doctor says it’s the menopause I have every test just unlucky being prone to UTI.

I am sorry you are experiencing problems ie UTIs, which are horrid!

Please go to see your gynecologist! If necessary, see an urologist too!

Always seek medical attention!

With good wishes,

Hi, have you been diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome/APS? As this forum is specifically for this autoimmune disease, however many do also have a Thyroid problem. Please see your GP and get the to refer you on if you are not having luck treating your infections. I used to be like this, but it improved with the correct Thyroid medication and also taking a supplement which is mentioned in literature by some hospitals, called D Mannose, but please do not take it before consulting with your local medical services. I also take a daily probiotic, again don't take this without asking, and please confirm if you have the above diagnosis please.
