Cardiac surgery
Has anyone on long term thyroid meds had open-heart cardiac repair surgery? Any ideas as to whether it affects thyroid and any need to up/ lower T4/T3 meds? Any reflections/suggestions would be most welcome.

Spotting, bloating and weight gain
I've just had bloods and swab done at the gp for above symptoms today and the spotting has turned into medium flow period type blood after being swabbed. I had a week of spotting between red and clear to pink brown discharge but I'm finding it painful around pelvic and vagina area when going to the toilet

colonoscopy and endoscopy concerns
I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1 week. My last colonoscopy was 8 years ago and the two colonoscopies before that found nothing but hemorrhoids ( all colonoscopies were pre CLL diagnosis in Oct of 2017). I have never had an endoscopy but I do have a cough that seems to start after

In vivo & in vitro: CRISPR 9 new approach to attack PCa proof of concept
The idea is to use the CRISPR technology to tweak prostate cancer cells so that they build up a specific type of compound (called porphyrins) that is usually harmless unless exposed to certain types of light. In people with a condition called porphyria, these porphyrins naturally build up because of

Taking Meds in the AM vs PM
Hi I’m newly on Kisqali and Letrozole and I am wondering if anyone has feedback about whether it seems better to take these during the day or at night before bed. I’ve heard that some people prefer a nighttime dosage to sleep through any nausea or fatigue Interested in any and all experiences Thanks

What happens when CT scan and ultrasound can't verify if it's an ovarian mass or not?
I (post-menopausal 52 y/o) went in to urgent care about a month ago with stomach pains. Doctor thought it was a ruptured appendix, but sent me for a CT scan to verify. Turns out it was diverticulitis, but on the CT scan they noticed a a complex cyst on my left ovary, however they couldn't be sure if

It wont be long
Hi All I have seen my Consultant today and she said it is time to start thinking about treatment. Not what I wanted to hear but after 14 years W&W I guessed it would come one day. She will arrange a CT Scan to check on Tumour burden (I think thats right) then just waiting on this. TP53 - deletion

Why should ft4 be at a certain percentage through reference range (mid to upper) when on T4/T3 combination therapy when T4 is inactive?
As per the subject title, if ft4 is inactive, then why do some people on T4/T3 therapy only feel good if their ft4 level is at the mid/upper level despite the fact their ft3 (active form) may be at a optimal level? Or if they are not feeling well, why are they advised to increase their Levo dosage if

blue fingers when in hot bath??
Has anyone else had this? It happen to my toes when I was in the shower the other day too. I don’t know if it’s Raynauds or my low ferritin/anemia or what. About to go for a colonoscopy this week for the anemia and a high positive FIT test but I can’t see it being linked to that.

Recommended Tracking App - Easy to use, tracks what I need to monitor for CKD
After searching for a long time and almost giving up, I finally found an app that does everything that I need. Yeah! It tracks my diet and helps me monitor my intake of Sodium, Potassium, Phosphate, Protein and Water, which is important for patients with CKD . At the same time it tracks calories
