Women are not taken seriously by most doctors when experiencing health problems.
I went through a really rough time a couple of years after I had my first child when I was about 31 years old. I had never experienced PMT prior to the birth. I was lucky. However, I became aware of gradual fatigue, and anxiety, and hot flushes. I went to my GP to ask if I could be going through the

Do I need to stop taking estrogen? Feel as if I'm choosing between mental and physical health.
So I've read a lot now- probably too much. From what I can gather from things (and I am new to this - didnt know I had endometriosis until Tuesday when they aborted my hysterectomy as my bowel is fused to my cervix) estrogen seems to be the driving force behind endometriosis. Is that true? It also seems

Over range copper and zinc
The only culprit I can think of is milk thistle. Any thoughts on over range copper and zinc? About a 10 months ago, zinc was low-ish and copper slightly over so I supplemented zinc for a short while but stopped a couple of months ago. Then the week before last started with milk thistle for liver support

testing protocol on T4 and T3
Hi all. Does anyone have any experience/wisdom re a good time to take T3 pre bloods? I currently take it when I wake up which is between 6.20 and 7.30 and in the afternoon between 3.30 and 4.30. I have a first test since starting combined therapy booked and am wondering when I should take what.

Has anyone had Proton Beam Therapy for their prostate cancer. I have read up on it but would like to know some personal experiences from anyone who has had this treatment. Preferably anyone who had proton beam therapy at Penn Medicine at Lancaster General in Lancaster, Pa. but anyone who has experienced

Oxygen Therapy
Hi Everyone, A relative, who has MS, has suggested that I try oxygen therapy. It seems to really help them but I wondered if anyone here has had any experience of this and provide a suitable comment. Many thanks!

Min invasive Aortic valve replacement:- happy or disappointed?
I’m 67 yo, male, slightly overweight but otherwise good health but I have a severe Aortic Stenosis, that’s running at about 25% of full capacity. My only symptoms are slight breathlessness when climbing stairs. Saw a surgeon yesterday who wants to replace the valve with an animal valve, but he does not

I have posted on here before asking for advice. Have always suffered on and off but the last 18 months have been awful. Saw a dctr last year who just gave me sleeping tablets, saw a dctr a few weeks ago who gave me pramipexole but after reading on here and other sites about the side effects decided

I started to try and lose weight way back in May before a hip replacement operation.

I have lost just 1 stone in 7 months, nothing at all in the

Why should ft4 be at a certain percentage through reference range (mid to upper) when on T4/T3 combination therapy when T4 is inactive?
As per the subject title, if ft4 is inactive, then why do some people on T4/T3 therapy only feel good if their ft4 level is at the mid/upper level despite the fact their ft3 (active form) may be at a optimal level? Or if they are not feeling well, why are they advised to increase their Levo dosage if

Follow up to my last post re SDR
It's now almost 4 weeks since Mark's knee replacement. He's doing well after a small setback at the weekend. He saw our Dr a week ago to ask if he could drive. Dr told him to ask the physio. She tested him on a step, checking the force he could use on his knee and gave permission for him to drive

hip replacement advice
Has anyone had joint replacement after being diagnosed with MBC? If so, do you have any advice? I was diagnosed with MBC to the bones and liver July 2020. After radiation and several lines of drug treatment, I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my right hip a year ago. I had existing painful

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

second opinion?
I was diagnosed with endometriosis over two years ago when I was being tested for a problem with my bladder. Doctor found a mass and sent me for scans internal and external. I also had a hysteroscopy (more than one eventually) where they had problems with my cervix. I have a massive chocolate cyst in

Update on Endo and WLAMS
Re the Endo who was determined to take away my T3 whilst all I wanted was a blood test to include T3. After an exchange of letters, he phoned this morning. He had back pedalled so far he was out of site. He agreed T3 was vital, he agreed testing the full TSH, T4 and T3 were needed to make a positive

update Vanderbilt
just thought I would update and let y’all know that I have an appointment with a doctor at Vanderbilt university medical in Franklin Tennessee in April. Vanderbilt is a RLS quality care center and the closest to me. I actually had one of their Doctors call me and said that if there were any cancellations
