They have classed me as needing an appt in a few weeks but I m aware

This paper is about an extremely rare form of hypothyroidism. The text is quite dense and not an easy read. Most of us have no reason to go further. However, for those who are interested in thyroid beyond their own issues, it is really quite interesting. If you give up after a sentence - don't worry

So last week I visited my GP practice to give blood sample on Tuesday. I will post the results and ask advice on another blog.

After 6 months of continuous antibiotics, I’m celebrating 10 weeks today without any, or need for them. I keep a supply of the 3 that now work, and inform my surgery and consultant what I’ve taken, and sputum results. I have records going back many years. Just need my energy and strength to return

So I had my first laparoscopy just over a week ago, and the endo was removed from my bowel as far as I'm aware. Since my surgery I have developed Hemorrhoids.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted last. Partially due to my thyroid keeping me fatigued a great amount of the time and additionally I have injuries to my lumbar spine that my dr recommends surgery on and the insurance carrier is dragging their feet.

Eventually, I had an x-ray, which showed minimal wear and

So after my laparoscopy today it’s confirmed my best treatment will be a full hysterectomy! I’m only 38 but know it’s what’s needed and what I want but still over whelmed!
