A question and a bit of a gripe!
Why aren't doctors acknowledging muscle wasting and osteopenia due to ADT. My husband began a round of zoladex about 4 months ago. The last time he did it was in 2014. After 6 months his butt had lost muscle and was ripples. His legs lost a lot of muscle. Also, there is osteopenia showing up. All

Devastated to learn son may have CMT
Hi all, After many many months of trying to find out why my eldest handsome 16 year old son has developed scoliosis, muscle atrophy, losing weight and foot drop, a nerve conduction study and EMG revealed he has nerve damage in his arms and legs. Neurologist suspects hereditary poly neuropathy aka CMT

Sensitive post...8 weeks + 1 scan...
Hi all Just thought I would give you an update on my first scan this morning. All went well and I saw the little peanut plus listened to the strong heart beat 💓. I feel so overwhelmed and numb as I've never seen or experienced this before. I was told to stop pessaries and oestrogen tablets. Hopefully

The “I’m going absolutely mad” post of the 2WW
Title says it all 🤣 I am 5dp5dt and I am going mad! I have just ordered my tests online ! I ordered the first response early tests but do the rapid results test early too? I honestly can’t call it and would love to get your opinions on my very over analysed symptoms 🙈 Headaches - I have woken up

Who is up for solving this thyroid/perimenopausal puzzle?! I desperately need some help! 🙏🏻
I have Hashimotos which was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I started on Levo and after increasing my dosage, I felt worse. A friend of mine with Hashimotos suggested that I probably was not converting T4 to T3 and could try to take NDT because of the T3 in it. Luckily I found a doctor who prescribed it

New labs after abstaining from all(!) supplements for a month. Previous tests were done after only eight days and therefore meaningless
In my last post about my results, after abstaining from ALL supplements for about eight days, including metavive and adrenavive (whole bovine/porcine gland and whole adrenal gland respectively) I had blood tests and reported the following: Ft3 4.6 pmol/L (3.5 - 6.5) TSH mU/L< 0.03 (0.35 - 5.5) Ft4

Period changes after FET BFN
Hello, I’m just after a bit of reassure off possible? And apologies in advance if it’s all a bit TMI... After my BFN I stopped meds and had a bleed a few days later. All seemed quite normal. Had another AF which also seemed very normal for me (albeit a shorter cycle than usual). Now my current cycle

Given all clear re Lymphnodes 8 months ago, but sentinel node biopsy didn’t work, now they have found cancer! Has anyone been through this?
Hi, My wife was diagnosed with BC, she had it removed and had a sentinel node biopsy, was all clear. 8 Months later an ultrasound revealed cancer in a Lymphnode. She just had 8 nodes removed and they found microscopic cancer in 3 other nodes. They are sure it was there from the start. They have tested

My Wife’s story to help others. (Fibroids)
My Amazing Wife’s story I just wanted to tell my story in the hope that it might help someone in a similar position. I am 41 years old and I found a lump/ hardness in the lower, left hand side of my pelvis. The lump would move lightly at different times of the day and sometimes I couldn’t feel it at

HRT & Supplements
Hi I’ve been on HRT for a month now (oestrogen gel and progesterone tablets). I’m also taking Levo and T3. I’m slowly easing back in my supplements as I wanted to start the HRT on its own. I’m now back on vitamin B complex and vitamin D but I want to add in magnesium. However I’m not sure if it’s

Laura Update - No More Chemo - On to Letrozole
Well, ladies, I have had some disappointing news these last few weeks. I went for my regular pre-Chemo blood tests, but my Oncologist called me the next day to say my Liver function looked bad. I wouldn’t be having Chemo and instead would get an Ultrasound of my liver. Also, my cancer marker had shot

Uterosacral Ligaments
Hi ladies Does anyone have any advice on deep infiltrating endo on the uterosacral ligaments? I've had 3 surgeries over 20 years; in summary - ablation in 2002, ovaries removed in 2015 and then full hysterectomy in 2017. On top of my endo I also had adenomyosis. I was 44 in 2015 so went onto HRT then
