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

Does HRT cause weight gain?
Did you gain any weight when you talk HRT? I'm very concerned about this as I've read several reviews of people saying that they did and I haven't eaten disorder so that kind of thing terrifies me.

If feel a bit daft asking this here - but a very high DEXA score?
I had an ankle scan years ago as part of a work "well woman clinic" and was told I was borderline oestopenia Then as I had my ovaries out because of cysts I had a private dexa scan as a baseline for making decisions about hrt etc My results seemed a bit 'off' but everyone says oh it's fine (it probably

Getting worse
I have been on gabapentin for several years and this was just beginning to be less effective when I had a hip replacement. My rls got very bad and my gp added in ropinerole 1mg which I take at 8.30pm. This means a great night but increasingly I am having symptoms in the afternoon and evening. Any advice

Saw a specialist
I saw a specialist in endometriosis last week and it was eye opening. I had to pay for it or wait 12 months so I opted to go private. I spent over an hour with him and he was incredible. He explained everything and was very practical. I had a list of questions and he answered all of them. I already know

Hi everyone. I went into heart failure directly after having the Pfizer jab. Turned out I had undiagnosed scarlet fever as a child. Had a mitral valve replacement as a result.Is anyone else struggling to come to terms with what has happened to them?

I also have tried several opioids in the past. I have taken Belbuca for the past several years. I am facing hip replacement

Newly Diagnosed Polymyalgia
I am a 57 year old female living on a smallholding in the Welsh hills. I have historically suffered on/off back pain that tended to travel between my lumber and thoracic regions, the last three years being more on than off. I finally have a diagnosis, of quite frankly, a condition/disease that I had

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Hot flash relief for anyone? What helps relieve feeling hot all the time?
I have been struggling with severe hot flashes and feeling hot all the time for about 6 months now. I have severely low estrogen as in non-existent at all and so my levels are not even showing up to even zero because of the fact that I've not had very many periods due to the fact that I have secondary

Mechanical valve
Thanks for your replies! You are correct, I think I got my terminology wrong, sorry. I will have a mechanical valve not a biological valve, thus the need for warfarin. I was also hoping to use the self testing kit for warfarin, as we spend much time in Africa, which could be rather tricky. Good to

GnRH side affects and endo pain
I have had my second monthly GnRH injection out of three that I am having but have really been struggling with menopause side affects such as hot flushes, all over aches and feeling exhausted. Has anyone else had this and did these symptoms go on their own or did you have to have HRT tablets or did anything

Synthetic mytral valve
Hello, Soon I will have mytral valve replacement. I'm 56 female and lead a very active life. My concern is not so much getting back to fitness after surgery but more how much warfarin really affects day to day life. Also I was wondering, are there still no other alternatives to taking warfarin when
