Hashimotos
I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos quite recently, although I've been taking levothyroxine for over a year. I have been feeling exhausted, and have taken a lot of time off work this year as a result. These were my recent blood test results. My half sister also has Hashimotos, and she feels

recovery expectations
Hi all I’m coming up to 5 weeks after valve replacement, removal of web and thinning of thickened muscle. Had x ray and ecg, 60% healed and function looking good apparently. Which is great news. I’ve been walking each day, I’m up to a couple of miles and on short hills BPM up to 130. May have overdid

Levothyroxine and Menopause
Hi all, I had thyroid cancer many years ago and had a thyroidectomy. I’ve been on levothyroxine for 21 years. I’m in my early 50’s and menopausal. I’ve started HRT which still needs to adjusted BUT the Endocrinologist is lowering my levothyroxine. I exercise regularly and have a very physical job

Best HRT for...
I have just gone through actual menopause and have had a number of symptoms creep into my life steadily over the past 10 odd years. To help manage them and minimise risk of CVD, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, etc., I am going to embrace HRT and, fingers crossed, get a bit of 'me' back.I know there are

Hi, I have had a TKR to both in the last 2 years. A friend lent me a cuff called a Cryocuff which compresses and cools the knee. It really helped. They are expensive to buy but they canbe hired. I was given crutches with special handles, designed for arthritic hands and they helped too. Everything

I was just diagnosed with multiple goiters
hello, I have never had any thyroid issues in my life until my doctor felt my neck and said -you have goiters- I got an ultrasound and I have multiple goiters on both sides of my neck. My blood work is in the low end of normal, but now I will be seeing an endocrinologist next week. I am menopausal and

Total knee replacement
19 days post op - been very tough especially when COVID thrown into the mix! My muscle tone wasn’t great pre-op but is now nonexistent. Is it possible to build muscle tone with PMR? Without PMR it’s possible to build good muscle tone with regular exercises but no matter how frequently I do my post op

Prostap and Hrt
Good morning all. I was on prostap for over 2 years and have been on that combined with hrt for about 18 months while i await a lap which I have booked on 6th July. I had a bone density scan in January and have just received a letter from my consultant. They have said I must stop the prostap immediately

Genetic therapy: for solid malignancy hopefully soon
ok, I post them also because they are fellow Italians! But the platform is very promising even if clinical use has been approved only for glioma and glioblastoma at the moment. But there are clinical trials going on for solid tumors, prostate included. https://www.genenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2021

Low dose aspirin
Had anyone who is on low dose aspirin for life, found their iron levels have dropped. Went for pre assessment for total knee replacement a few weeks before Christmas and blood test showed my iron levels had dropped, so now going for iron infusion at local hospital this afternoon. Looking back on past

Post Menopausal Fibroids
I am 62 and have been diagnosed with fibroids as a result of CT and US scans. Pelvic pain is constant, often severe. My HRT has been switched to Tibolone which I am told will not ‘feed’ the fibroids. I am waiting for an NHS gynae referral appointment which will not be anytime soon as there is a huge

prostap and osteopenia
Morning. So, I have been on prostap about 2 years now with hrt while awaiting a lap which is luckily booked for the 6th July. I had a dexa scan in January and they only contacted me with the results last week. Apparently the bone density scan shows I have osteopenia due to the injection and I need to
