Total Hip Replacement tomorrow - yay!
So having been in a lot of pain with my right hip since last September and staving it off with injections, finally I am going into hospital tomorrow for a total hip replacement. Feeling grateful but trepidacious. Have read Dorset Lady’s tips - thank you for those - and have taken them onboard. Doing

Bupropion/Zyban/Wellbutrin and sleep?
Hello, I started 150mg over a month ago. I had sleep issues previously but now they seem to be getting worse. Psychiatrist has recently asked me to take 300mg as apparently I haven’t responded that well to 150mg. Feeling reluctant to do so. My HRT was adjusted at the same time by an endocrinologist.

Disappointing GP visit…referral for talking therapy and poss CFS, no increase in levo
As I’m still very symptomatic (hypothyroidism with history of results in bio) I went back to the GP to explain this, share my Blue Horizon test results and ask for a trial increase to 125mg of levothyroxine. Not a great appointment- apparently I shouldn’t lay everything at the door of my thyroid! GP

Laparoscopy oophorectomy
So I had surgery on Tuesday, was supposed to be a full open hysterectomy but I opted for laparoscopy removal of large endometrioma which may have been cancerous and removal of ovary and fallopian tube. I now have a 2 week wait for results of endometrioma and omental biopsy, if positive then I will have

A heads up regards being in hospital and on thyroid medication
Hi all, I was in hospital recently (came down with flu, pneumonia and sepsis and was kept in a coma for about a month). I was in an Intensive Care Unit and as I was coming out of the coma, I started asking them about my thyroid medication. . The nurses were vague about the details so eventually I asked

Does Anyone Feel?
I am wondering if its possible to feel as well on thyroid replacement as I did pre hypothyroid. Just for background looking back 4 years ago I felt really fit and healthy,had plenty of energy, was going to the gym. Then the pandemic hit and my gym closed down and went bust. In June 2020 I finally started

OTD 14 dp5dt
Today we had official test in clinic, blood draw. They wanted to see Beta HCG over 300mIU/mL, it came at 1900mIU/mL and they told us that we are “very pregnant”. I’ll have another blood test on Wednesday (48h) and they want to see 66% increase and then ultrasound in about 10 days. So far - looks good

Levothyroxine and Menopause
Hi all, I had thyroid cancer many years ago and had a thyroidectomy. I’ve been on levothyroxine for 21 years. I’m in my early 50’s and menopausal. I’ve started HRT which still needs to adjusted BUT the Endocrinologist is lowering my levothyroxine. I exercise regularly and have a very physical job

Best HRT for...
I have just gone through actual menopause and have had a number of symptoms creep into my life steadily over the past 10 odd years. To help manage them and minimise risk of CVD, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, etc., I am going to embrace HRT and, fingers crossed, get a bit of 'me' back.I know there are
