Should I be asking for an increase in Levo?
I have an appt with my endo on Thursday to discuss my latest results and those from last August and April when I was taking different amounts of levo. I always follow the suggested procedure of stopping Vit B complex a week before, early blood test and not taking levo for 24 hours. My most recent

Zoladex experience
Just wanted to hear other people's experiences on Zoladex if possible because I don't know if my symptoms are all in my head or I'm just being made to feel that way by the consultant. Who's only advice every time I go for a review every couple of months day just keep going with it a little bit longer

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

how often should you have a Dexa scan ?
I had one when I was first diagnosed with PMR about 6 years ago. Since then I have tapered down the pred but couldn’t get below 2 mgs until … I restarted HRT. I have now managed to taper to zero for the last 2 weeks and fingers crossed, I’m hoping that’s it ! Mindful it could always creep back of course

I hearken back to my post a few months ago https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/149418197/high-morning-cortisol-and-t3 where I was struggling (and still am) to find a solution to the severe waking anxiety I have had to tolerate for years now. As I feel my adrenals are still playing a big part

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

Getting to the root of my anxiety
I am 57 and I was considered in menopause at 52 years old, however I went through perimenopause for approximately 5-7 years prior. I am in therapy, but it does not seem to be helping. Unfortunately I cannot take any Hormone Replacement Therapy because I had one positive result for a gene that increases

Progesterone post medicated FET
I'd like to ask all the ladies who conceived after a HRT/medicated FET, how much progesterone pessaries were you on? I'm on 4 x 200mg vaginal capsules so 800mg/day. Wonder if anyone is/was on a lower dosage. Just thinking about reducing to 3 x /day (600mg) having seen the patients' leaflet for Utrogestan

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

worst fears seem to be coming true.
Dear friends, I posted on here in March 2021 asking your advice as to whether I should even start on Teriparatide worrying about rebound fractures afterwards because I was told there was no other drug that I could safely take. The 2 years on Teriparatide ( Forsteo) passed far too quickly but interrupted

Hi, I am 21 years old and have been suffering with Endometriosis for 10 years now (although I was diagnosed in 2021). I have been on Prostap injections and Tibolone HRT since July 2021 as previous to this I was wheelchair bound on 3 occasions due to the severity of the pain and nothing else worked. Prostap

2nd FET protocol for 4th embryo transfer
Hi all, I’m looking for some advice on FET protocols. I’ve had 2 fresh rounds of IVF treatment and one frozen. The first cycle of IVF resulted in two embryos. We transferred one embryo, which resulted in a BFN. For our frozen round we also got a BFN. For our next fresh round our consultant suggested

Exercise intolerant
I've been experiencing heavy sweating while exercising and total exhaustion the next day. I felt this why before I was diagnosed ten years ago with low thyroid. I had to stop any form of exercise. I am on HRT too and last year had the same symptoms. My HRT gel was increased and this sorted out the problem

need advice
Hello, Having B12 defiency my GP has been prescribing me oral B12 which got my levels to normal but hasn’t changed my symptoms. She then prescribed blood tests for parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies. Both were negative. She says therefore I only need B12 orally and not injections
