Does anyone take a diuretic to help with water retention?
I have for many years suffered from painful water retention in my buttocks and legs. I am also unable to pinch the skin on my upper arms. Ive recently been prescribed a diuretic to see if this will help. Do others have a similar issue? Or is it a sign that I’m still under medicated? My legs are painful

T4 high range advice please
Hi I’m just looking for some advice please these are my latest results. As you will see T4 always seems to be in the higher range whilst T3 the lower end of the range. Just wondering if a small amount of Liothyronine were to be added how does it actually work? For example would it raise T3 whilst lowering

I’m 72 & in general good health (I think) except for Osteopenia and that I inherited Restless Legs from my mum. I started on .25mg Ropinirole 7 years ago which was like magic but it’s slowly increased to 3x.25mg per night. Perhaps not a big dose but I learned via this site it’s best to switch from Ropinirole

You're not normal .... well none of us are ....
There's no such thing as "normal" ... well not for me anyway ... ok hear me out 😂 Normal range is not "normal" it is the point that your medical practitioner wouldn't immediately consider that the problem, or they wouldn't immediately consider you to be medicated for a condition. ... it doesn't mean

T3 narrative
Hello, I have been exclusively on T3 since November 2023 following years of trying different combinations. At the current time I am sourcing this privately however I am soon due another endocrinology appointment and I’m dreading it, but would also like to see if I can get it on the NHS. They are so

Reviews and recommendations
Hi, I was taking T3 over the counter which improved my symptoms substantially. I then had a heart attack late January and was told it was down to the T3 which I’m not convinced of. So I want to go down the road of talking to a doctor who knows what they’re talking about with T3. I’m full time disabled

How is PA diagnosed?
How is PA diagnosed? How do we know if we have it?? I don’t think I have it but I do need to keep my ferritin in check due to absorption issues because of my Hashimotos…

Took progesterone 10 hours late on day 10 post FET transfer - freaking out!
It’s day 10 after my frozen embryo transfer and I have a positive pregnancy test! This is incredible news - I am absolutely over the moon. But I’m now also completely freaking out as messed up todays progesterone injection and took it 10 hours late. Am I going to miscarry? I’m crippled with worry.

Diabetes and Prednisolone
Hi, just enquiring about the use of Prednisolone and its affect on diabeties. I have been a type 2 diabetic since 2016. For the first four years I managed to control it by diet only but since I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2020 my diabetes has got worse year on year. I was initially put on Metformin

Change in tablets Thyroxine 100mg
Hi.I have been taking Thyroxine 100mg for years fairly successfully. When I picked up my last prescription, the box was still coloured orange & looked the same but wider. The tablets composition had changed - were larger & harder to digest. Since I have been taking this batch I have had terrible hot

hi Having issues with palpitations and feeling rough. Think it’s time I asked for a referral to the Endocrinologist. Been on thyroxine for a number of years, docs said too much Levothyroxine so needed to reduce from 150mg to 125 mg. Due to weight loss. Since I’ve started with the palpitations,

So, I know I’m the lunatic that tested with a very out of date pregnancy test not so long ago… which tbf gave an accurate BFN 🙁 I am trying modified natural for my next FET and am waiting for my next period to start using ovulation tests on day 8 of my cycle. I’m nervous using my natural cycle, but
