My surgeon phoned for an over the phone consult (thanks covid) if you know my story I’ve been waiting since 2017 for a hysterectomy due to stage 4 or as I call it decimated stage Endo. I haven’t even met him in person since I was ‘urgently’ referred Nov 19! And he’s called twice both

Severe iodine deficiency & Hashimoto's
Hi all, I'm still struggling after 3+ horrible years. I have Hashimoto's and a really bad doctor took me off all meds for 2 years (2019 and 2020) and labs barely stayed in range (TSH around 3.5 (.4 - 4/5), Free T4 around 1 (.8 - 1.7) and Free T3 around 2.8 (2 - 4.4). I literally thought I was going

Update on my Endo stand off!
Hi, I posted a while ago how I’m a long term user of carbimazole 24+ years now and how my endo was trying to force radio iodine therapy on me. So I backed out of the consultation and my endo got very cross and sent my doc a letter asking ‘as this patient has refused treatment, could you monitor bloods

Insomnia
Hi my neurologist wrote to me a few days ago regarding the use is melatonin for insomnia she said it was licensed for short term use in adults over 55 years but in her experience it’s not a very effective treatment for insomnia. She added that a course of CBT was more effective. She added that she will

Hypothyroid with sore feet
I’m hypothyroid after RAI and during the last 18 months have developed an odd sensation in the metatarsals of both feet. They feel tight as if there’s a web pulling all the time, and are pretty uncomfortable with a burning tenderness. I’ve spoken with my Chiropedist who was baffled, trying to see my

7 weeks post op - still in pain?
7 weeks post diagnostic laparoscopy with excision of Endometriosis. I haven't really taken note of if the pain has gotten better or worse as it's still early days. Today I am in so much pain in my lower belly, almost as if I'm about to start bleeding but I'm not due for another week. I don't take any

Pain again
Hi all, thanks for replies. Posted reply earlier and put it on the wrong bit.!! The costachondria sounds very like it as had it on and off for 6 months. Getting a GP response is difficult. We are going away tomorrow for a couple of days then deal with it when we come back. I was given noratryptaline

Nand.
Hi all, has anyone experienced pain in rib/chest area. Pain is awful, difficult to breathe in as like a stabbing pain. It is variable in severity and frequency. Does ease a bit as day goes on and after codeine. Left side only. I honestly am thinking it is my RH. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

ELEVATED LIVER ENZYMES AND TALK OF THYROIDECTOMY
Hi. Following my post about elevated liver enzymes on Saturday morning. My dr is asking me to do another blood test tomorrow (creatinine, electrolytes, TSH, T4 and T3 and full liver function testing). I will have stopped biotin for only 3 days when this test is done. If my liver enzymes are still elevated
