Pre diabetes post bypass surgery?
I had an alarming text from my GP surgery telling me the result of a blood test showed that I’m pre diabetic and that I could enroll onto a programme to improve my lifestyle! I was absolutely shocked . I contacted my GP surgery (using the irritating on line form /application for advice of doom 🤦🏼)

Anxiety is back as bad as ever
Hi all, not doing well at all lately regarding anxiety. I know the reason but that doesn’t help. I have recently been told that I’m pre diabetic and that I have CKD both thought to be due to heart meds. Then the other day, out of the blue, another call from surgery regarding cholesterol results. All

Macular Hole
Hi, long term PMR/GCA sufferer been on 4mg for long enough and staying there! However I developed a macular hole which needed surgery. Has anyone else had this problem, is there likely any association of cause with GCA /PMR or Pred? Surgery done now and I have to wait and see how successful it is.

Speechless by my GP’s response
I messaged my GP surgery and requested a full thyroid blood test (not just TSH which is all I’ve been able to get since COVID) as well as iron, vits B and D tests. I’ve been feeling really rotten, and want to look at every potential reason. Now, bear in mind I have been on HRT (prescribed by them) for

Doctor refusing to increase levo, says I should not have been put on it in the first place (it was "against his better judgement")
Argh, I've just had an incredibly frustrating and upsetting phone consultation after 8 weeks on 50mcg of levothyroxine. I was on a starter dose of 25mcg for the 8 weeks before that. Current/past levels TSH level (range 0.570-3.6) 3.169 mU/L 13 Nov 2023 1.841 mU/L 21 Sep 2023 3.730 mU/L

truly scrumptious
My surgery are doing Blood tests to check for for diabetes, possibly because l am elderly, at 87. My results showed that l did not have diabetes but that l was pre-diabetic. I was rather surprised because l have never been overweight and have a reasonably healthy diet. However l was curious to see if

Thyroxine dose reduced without my knowledge
Hello, I have been hypothyroid for around 15 years. For the past few years I've been taking 100mgs of Levothyroxine every day. I collected my usual repeat prescription for various medications a few days ago, and my Levo was missing. I queried it with the pharmacist, who told me my doctor had cancelled

Hi everyone... here to say hi and so glad to finally be part of a support group.
Hi everyone. I'm currently 29 and have been through severe period pain since I started my periods at 12 and ended up going on the pill and having severe pain, heavy bleeding and becoming anaemic. I still had pill breaks but the bleeding did get a bit lighter but the pain was still bad and progressively
